The Benefits of Windshield Repair

It’s not a question of if you will have to deal with a chipped windshield, but when will you have to deal with one. Unfortunately, for car owners, windshield chips and dings are just a fact a life, especially if you drive periodically on unimproved roads.

Windshield chip repair is a cost effective, fast & easy repair that many drivers put off until that little chip turns into a large crack stretching across the entire glass requiring replacement. Windshield replacement takes more time, effort and costs a whole lot more. Especially, if you have a new vehicle with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), which could cost you over a thousand dollars to replace the windshield.

Windshield Vulnerability To Cracks

When it comes to having a chip fixed, there is no good reason to delay. Unrepaired chips are not going to get any better, it’s almost guaranteed that they will get worse. The windshield on your vehicle, undamaged, is very strong for a reason and that is your safety. However, when you get a chip in your car windshield it weakens the structural integrity of the windshield. Once the chip cracks and that cracks begins to grow, it lowers the integrity even further.  Driving your vehicle with a cracked windshield is not just annoying, it is also dangerous.

  • The more your windshield cracks the higher the possibility of the glass failing if it was to be hit by another rock or debris. This failure could result in further cracks that obstruct your vision or worse case, you get a face full of glass.
  • Your chances of being in an accident or causing injury increase when you have a windshield with cracks and chips obstructing your vision.
