Therefore, it is vital that you contact the professional glass specialists at Glass Doctor® of Millersburg Ohio as soon as you notice a cracked, chipped or broken windshield.

Windshield Repair or Replacement

While we strive to repair damaged windshields in lieu of replacing them whenever possible, sometimes complete windshield replacement is the only solution. The specialists at Glass Doctor of Millersburg Ohio consider several factors in order to determine whether your windshield can be repaired or if replacement is required.

• Size: In most cases, cracks that measure more than three inches long and chips larger than 3/8 inch will require complete windshield replacement. 
• Location: Chips or cracks that are located directly in the driver's line of vision will typically indicate a need for windshield replacement because repairs don't always cure clearly and can leave an outline in the area that was damaged. Additionally, cracks that are located near the edge of the windshield will generally cause your windshield to need replacement service.
• Timespan: Over time, dirt and debris build up in damaged areas, making successful windshield repair difficult. Windshields with older damage often need to be replaced.
