Most of the windshield damage that is caused by flying debris, rocks, and other road hazardous materials can be repaired! Anything from a small chip to a crack that is thirty inches long can be repaired. Our repair process visibly reduces the chip or crack 60-95%, depending on the severity of damage and how long it has been in the windshield. And please remember, it's important that you do repair your windshield because windshield damage weakens the glass and makes it more susceptible to further damage. Here are a few questions that our customers typically will ask.
Why is repair a better option than replacement?
First of all, windshield replacement is very expensive! The cost of windshield replacement can be $400, $500, $1000, and it can cost over $2000! That's a lot of money, whether you're paying it out of pocket or having your insurance pay for it. And if your insurance company is paying that much, you have to start worrying if they'll raise your premiums.
Secondly, if you do pay the big bucks to replace your windshield, the original factory seal and windshield molding may have to be removed, and doing this should always be a last resort! Windshields should be replaced only when they must be replaced. It is always the best option to preserve the factory seal and minimize potential problems with a quality repair job.
A proven, sophisticated process is used to repair rock chips in your windshield:
- First, the damaged area is inspected and often times the impact point is drilled with a special diamond-coated drill bit designed for windshields.
- Then the technician will remove all the air out of the break with a vaccu-pressure machine. (Very important)
- The state-of-the-art system then injects optically matched Diamond Clear resin (often called liquid glass) into the break.
- Then, by using a special curing process, we cure and harden the repair area to the original strength of the windshield and smooth the drill hole to the surface of the glass.
- Lastly, we polish the repaired area to restore its optical clarity.
- The finished repair is now safe, permanent, and nearly invisible.
Long cracks are repaired in the following way:
- The endpoint is drilled to stop the crack from spreading further.
- The crack is opened up from the inside using a specially designed tool.
- After the crack is opened up and ready to receive the resin, the technician will inject optically matched Diamond Clear resin (often called liquid glass) into the drill hole and along the crack.
- By using an exclusive curing process, the crack's structural integrity is restored completely.
- The drill hole is filled, cured, and is smooth with the windshield.
- Visibly, 90% of the glare should be gone and the crack should be reduced drastically. It should look like a hair is placed on the windshield versus an unsightly, glaring crack.
Almost all insurance companies pay the full cost of repair:
We have found that our customers are unaware that in most cases, insurance companies will waive your deductible and pay the full cost of most repairs! Why? Because they are saving a ton of money across the country not having to replace windshields. That savings goes right to their bottom line, so they are happy to pay for the repair. But the best part is - you save money, too! After paying us the amount on the invoice, your insurance company will give you a full refund.
Why should you fix the damage if it's not in a visually critical location?
Simply put, an unrepaired windshield is very dangerous to the occupants of the vehicle. To find out why, please read the short article: Windshield Damage Is Not Just Annoying, It's Dangerous!
Weather, extreme temperature change (inside or outside of the car), or even a big bump in the road, can all put additional stress on a damaged windshield which greatly increases the probability of further damage occurring. Windshield damage, under the right conditions, will eventually spread and require that the entire windshield be replaced. So, repairing your windshield now saves you money later.
