Windshield Repair Explained

Windshield Repair is a process that utilizes modern technology plus our trusted experience to fill a cracked area on your windshield with special clear adhesive resin. Once this resin is cured by exposure to UV light (sunlight or UV lamp), the damaged area's strength is restored as is most (but not all) of the clarity. The degree of clarity always varies from one job to the next, but the bottom line is, rock chip repairs are a structural fix, not a cosmetic one.

Repairing auto glass cracks at your location makes sense for several reasons. Rock chip repairs save you money by preventing costlier replacements. They are very convenient taking only a few minutes to complete the process. Auto glass chip repairs are also safe. The glass is never removed so your original factory seal is maintained and drive away time is immediate. A windshield repair is a very economical alternative to replacement due to the increasing cost of auto glass and the rising number of faulty installations.

Exercise caution when using  an "auto glass replacement" company for your auto glass repair. They will often discourage a chip repair, steering you towards the more profitable replacement. The result is many windshields that could have been repaired are replaced and you could end up paying for a replacement you don't need!
