Allowing a cracked or chipped windshield to go unrepaired leads to safety concerns and obstructed vision.

Factors Influencing Repair or Replacement
Most states have laws against operating a vehicle with a damaged windshield, so it's important you take action when you first damage your windshield. Deciding whether windshield repair is the best choice will be based on the size, area and age of the damage.
-
Diameter and length: There are limits to the size of damage that can be successfully repaired. In a majority of cases, chips should be less than a half-inch in size, and cracks cannot be longer than three inches.
-
Affected area: There are zones on the glass that preclude windshield repair. Cracks that extend to the edge of the glass and damage in the line of sight of the driver are outside the repairable area. Edge cracks have a high potential for spidering, or cracking in multiple directions, while repair may distort or obscure the field of view.
-
Age of damage: The older the damage is, the less likely it will be that a repair will work satisfactorily. Weathering, dust and other contaminants that settle into the damaged area prevent the repair resin from adhering to the original glass.
Benefits of Windshield Repair
When it is possible, windshield repair offers some advantages over windshield replacement. A Glass Doctor of Minot specialist will clean the damaged area to remove contaminants, and then apply resin to fill the area. Once filled, the resin is dried and polished. The windshield is restored and the vehicle will be ready to drive. A broad-spectrum of benefits makes windshield repair the first choice for everyone:
- The cost savings is appealing to many car owners because repair is typically a fraction of the replacement cost.
- Your insurance company may waive your deductible for a repair, saving you even more.
- Vehicle owners who lead a busy lifestyle will appreciate that repairs can be completed in less than an hour.
- Windshield replacement reduces waste, contributing to a cleaner, healthier planet.

I had a break-in at a business so I called the Glass Doctor. They were very nice and were able to get out to me first thing that morning and replace the glass in a very timely manner. The glass door looks great. I would recommend them to anyone.

We just had Glass Doctor fix our panes, 8 in our house. They do beautiful professional work. I recommend them to everyone. Our windows were 3 panes thick and the seals broke. There was steam in between the glass and it looked chalky.
