Windshield Care Determination
Our experts quickly determine whether the damaged windshield glass is repairable or requires complete replacement by considering the following variables:
-
Size: Typically, cracks longer than a credit card and chips bigger than a dime require windshield glass replacement although there are occasional exceptions.
-
Location: A chip or crack that falls directly in the driver’s line of vision requires replacement instead of windshield chip repair. If a crack has splintered to the edge of the windshield, the integrity of the glass may be compromised and therefore, calls for replacement.
-
Age of Damage: Leaving a damaged windshield unaddressed increases the likelihood of dirt and residue accumulating in the affected area, making it more difficult to ensure a proper repair and often leading to complete windshield replacement.
Windshield Repair
When possible, Glass Doctor of South Bend, IN performs windshield chip repair instead of replacement to save you both time and money. Our expert repair services prevent chips and cracks from spreading and worsening. The advantages of repair over replacement include:
- Economical Choice: Windshield repair costs much less than complete replacement.
- Convenience: Most repairs are performed in about an hour so you’re back on schedule before you know it.
- Insurance: Most insurance companies prefer repair instead of replacement because of the cost savings and may even waive your deductible for the repair.
- Eco-Friendly: Windshield repair keeps your auto glass in place instead of in a landfill!
The repair process involves our specialists removing any debris from the crack or chip before injecting the repair resin. Once filled, the area is cured and polished to a clear finish leaving you with a windshield that’s ready to face the road once again.

Paul O.5/5 -
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.
Amanda S.5/5 -
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.
