Whether it’s a minor chip or a complete windshield replacement, our team of skilled service professionals is here to assist you. We utilize high-quality materials and advanced techniques to restore your vehicle to its condition, ensuring maximum clarity and durability.
The experts at Glass Doctor of Central Illinois take several factors into consideration before recommending a windshield repair or replacement for our Springfield customers.
-
Location: The location of the chip or crack is crucial in determining if a repair or a replacement is in order. When chips or cracks obstruct the driver's vision, a replacement is required because the repair will often leave a blurred outline that can be distracting. Replacement is also necessary when the crack is on or near the windshield's edge. These cracks spread easily and will compromise the integrity of your windshield seal.
-
Size: The size of the crack or chip in your windshield is just as important when making the decision to repair or replace your windshield. Typically, chips that are larger than 3/8 of an inch are too big to repair. Similarly, cracks in your windshield that are three inches and longer will require a replacement.
-
Time: When you have a crack or chip in your windshield, time may decide if repair is a viable option. If you leave damage untended for too long, dirt and dust will gather in the cracks. This will make it difficult to repair the windshield. If attended to immediately, a repair will be more likely.
Windshield Repair
If the chips or cracks in your windshield are minor, our team will employ advanced techniques to repair your windshield promptly and effectively, restoring clarity and strength.
To repair your cracked windshield, our glass service professionals:
- Remove debris from the impacted area.
- Clear and prepare the impacted area using a drill.
- Inject a special resin into the damaged area using a tool that attaches to the surface of the glass.
- Allow the resin to cure.
- Polish the resin to a clear finish.

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.
