Windshield Repair and Replacement
Put your damaged windshield in the hands of Glass Doctor® of Murrieta, CA. Our experienced specialists make your safety our number one priority by carefully reviewing the details of the damaged area before confirming the need for windshield replacement or repair service.
Factors Influencing Windshield Repair
- Size: Typically, windshields with cracks longer than three inches and chips wider than 3/8 inch must be replaced. Nevertheless, our specialists use this as a guideline and perform repairs whenever possible.
- Location: Repair outlines may compromise your safety. Chips or cracks in front of the driver demand windshield replacement. For continued satisfaction, we also replace windshields with cracks along the edge. These tend to continually crawl across the glass.
- Duration: Neglecting your windshield repair results in dirt and debris entering the damaged area. Act quickly before these complications make repair impossible.

After, we’ll receive your car, perform quick, necessary service, file your insurance and send you on your way.

Questions To Ask When Shopping For A Windshield
Q: What kind of windshield will you be quoting? Is it an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) quality windshield?
A: At Glass Doctor of Murrieta, CA all our glass meets OEM quality standards! If the windshield is not OEM quality it may be considered aftermarket and may not meet the safety standards recommended by the automobile manufacture. These standards include glass thickness, thickness of the interlayment, and proper curves just to name a few.
Q: What is the urethane your company uses? Is it a complete set?
A: A complete set means a system that is provided by the manufacture that includes glass cleaner, primer and urethane that are all designed to work together. Picking a product from one system and using it with another can cause problems with the chemical compounds and may not hold securely.
At Glass Doctor of Murrieta, CA we have you covered! We use Dow BETASEAL Express complete set which includes glass cleaner, primer and urethane adhesives.
