Windshield Repair & Replacement FAQ

In many cases, small chips and cracks can be repaired if the damage is smaller than a dollar bill and has not spread significantly. Damage located directly in the driver's line of sight, near the edge of the windshield, or cracks longer than several inches often require a full replacement. Our technicians can inspect the damage and recommend the safest option.

Windshield cracks can spread due to temperature changes, road vibrations, vehicle flex, moisture, and normal driving conditions. Even a small chip can quickly turn into a large crack, which is why prompt repair is recommended.

A damaged windshield can compromise visibility and reduce the structural integrity of your vehicle. Modern windshields help support the roof during a rollover and assist with proper airbag deployment. For safety reasons, damaged auto glass should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

As soon as possible. Small chips are much easier and less expensive to repair before dirt, moisture, and temperature fluctuations cause them to spread.

A chip that goes unrepaired can develop into a larger crack that may require complete windshield replacement. Repairing minor damage early often saves time and money.

Most windshield repairs can be completed in approximately 30 minutes. The exact time depends on the size, location, and severity of the damage.

Additionally we offer a lifetime warranty from spreading. If one was to spread we credit back your initial expense off a replacement windshield.
