Windshield Repair and Replacement in Southampton
When you have a broken or damaged windshield, a pleasant drive through Southampton could turn into a frustrating sightseeing experience. That’s because cracks or chips in your windshield lead to decreased visibility and an unsafe driving experience.
Your windshield also helps support your vehicle’s structure. And if your windshield is damaged or not installed properly, your airbag could fail to deploy in the event of an accident.
We know the importance of fixing windshield damage right away. That’s why we offer windshield repair and replacement services to keep you safe and secure while on the road.
Windshield Repair for Chips
A chip in your windshield can spread quickly if not fixed right away. Our auto glass professionals can generally repair windshield chips if they meet the following criteria:
- The chip is located in a spot that doesn’t obstruct the driver’s view.
- The chip measures less than 25mm.
If the chip in your windshield is larger than 25mm or is in the driver’s direct line of sight, you may need a windshield replacement rather than a repair.
Repairing vs. Replacing Your Windshield
Our experts can advise you on whether your windshield needs repair or replacement. As mentioned above, the feasibility of windshield repair depends on the extent and location of the damage.
We make every effort to repair your windshield, but if we cannot reasonably repair it, we’ll replace it. Replacement does not include the cost of labor, adhesives, and moldings.
Since each situation is unique, contact us for a personalized assessment of your windshield’s damage.
