Windshield Chip Repair


What is windshield repair? Windshield repair is a process that joins todays modern technology with a skilled repair technician's ability to inject specially formulated resin into a damaged area of a windshield. Done properly, the damaged area's structural integrity is restored, as is most of the clarity.

Why repair my windshield? Here are several reasons why one would consider a repair. The most common damage to a windshield is called a Stone Chip. A stone chip can range from the size of a pea to the size of a half dollar. If left alone, this damage would eventually crack out into the entire windshield. At that point, the only alternative would be to replace the entire windshield. The average cost of replacing a windshield is approximately $350.00 . Today the average cost of a windshield chip repair is around $50.00. It makes financial sense.

Safety is another reason to consider windshield repair. When doing windshield repairs, the windshield is never removed and the original factory seal is maintained. Due to the rising price of modern automotive glass and the high rate of faulty installations, windshield repair is a very economical, convenient and safe alternative.

What type of Damage can be repaired? Stone Chips are most common. They may range from the size of a pea to the size of a half dollar. Single long cracks up to 24 inches can also typically be repaired. Click windshield repair for pictures.
