What
is a windshield repair?
Windshield
repair is a process that combines modern technology and skill
to fill a damaged area on a windshield with special clear adhesive
resin. When this resin is cured the damaged area's strength is
restored as is most of the clarity.
Why repair my windshield?
Repairing
a damaged windshield makes sense for several reasons. Repairs
save money by preventing the need for costly replacement,
and are very convenient taking only a few minutes. Repairs
are also safe, as the glass is never removed and the original
factory seal is maintained. With the rising price of modern automotive
glass and the high rate of faulty installations, it's a very economical
and convenient alternative!
What kind of damage can be repaired?
We
repair stone damage or stone "chips" up to the size
of a 50 cent piece, as well as a single long crack up to a length
of 24 inches. Best results are obtained when the damage is repaired
right away, before it gets contaminated from car washing, road
grime or inclement weather. It's also better to get it done before
the damage spreads. |
What
does a repair cost?
A
small fraction of what you would pay for a replacement! On average,
replacing a windshield on a modern car or SUV can cost from $300
to $500, more if it has an antenna, defroster or sensor built
in to it.
