Windshield Services
Discovering your windshield has developed a crack is a stressful situation. Don't second guess your need for repair! Glass Doctor® of Tacoma, WA specialists will take immediate action to ensure the damage does not worsen. We specialize in windshield crack repair and glass replacement; our team considers a variety of factors to determine if your windshield should be repaired or replaced:
- Size: Generally, windshield crack repair is possible if the crack in your windshield is less than three inches long. Shallow chips less than 3/8-inch-deep can also be repaired in most cases.
- Location: When your windshield is damaged directly in your line of vision, replacement is usually necessary for your safety. Splintering cracks near the edge of the windshield require replacement due to their tendency to spread and create a safety risk for your car.
- Time-span: When chips and cracks go unattended for a long period of time, they may accumulate dirt and debris, making repairs impossible.
Don't let a damaged windshield threaten the safety of your family. The team at Glass Doctor of Tacoma, WA has the skills and experience to get your vehicle safely back on the road. Our specialists work with all major insurance carriers, and we will complete and file insurance paperwork for you.
