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.
