Whether your windshield is a simple pit or a large crack, a damaged windshield can pose a safety hazard to you and other drivers. Fortunately, most chips and cracks are easily repaired so you can avoid costly replacement and maintain visibility on the road.
Windshield repair removes trapped air from the break and replaces it with a clear resin that bonds the glass together. This helps to prevent the break from spreading and usually improves clarity by 75-95%. Our auto glass technicians can often perform this task at your location, same-day or next day depending on the severity of the damage and your appointment availability.

The most common breaks include circular bullseyes, linear cracks and star breaks. These breaks can be repaired so long as they aren’t in the driver’s field of view and don’t penetrate into the PVB interlayer section of your windshield. A repair can also be performed on pits (a chunk missing from your windshield), dings and blemishes.
It’s important to understand that a windshield is designed with strength and safety in mind. A crack that spreads across your entire windshield can compromise the structural integrity of the glass and potentially increase the likelihood of shattering upon impact. This is why it’s best to have your damaged windshield professionally repaired as soon as possible. For most repairs, you won’t need to pay your deductible and will be able to get back on the road in less than an hour.
