Frequently Asked Questions

What types of auto glass do you repair or replace?

Auto glass service typically covers windshields, side windows, rear windows, quarter glass, vent glass, and sunroofs. Each type requires specific tools, materials, and installation techniques to ensure a proper fit and safe operation. Whether the glass is cracked, shattered, or malfunctioning, technicians assess the damage and recommend the right repair or replacement method based on safety standards and the vehicle’s design.

How do I know if my windshield needs repair or replacement?

A windshield usually needs repair if the chip or crack is small, shallow, and not in the driver’s direct line of vision. However, larger cracks, damage near the edges, or chips that spread quickly typically require replacement to maintain structural safety. A technician evaluates the size, depth, and location of the damage to determine the safest option.

Is it safe to drive with a cracked windshield?

Driving with a cracked windshield is risky because the damage can impair visibility, weaken the glass, and compromise the vehicle’s structural integrity during an accident. Cracks can spread quickly from temperature changes, road vibrations, or bumps. Prompt repair or replacement helps maintain your safety and prevents the damage from worsening

What causes windshield cracks to spread?

Windshield cracks spread due to temperature changes, road vibrations, moisture, dirt, and pressure points in the glass. Hot sun, cold air, or using the defroster too aggressively can expand cracks. Even a small bump in the road can worsen the damage. This is why addressing cracks promptly is important.

Is auto glass repair permanent?

Windshield repair is designed to stop the damage from spreading and restore clarity, but it may not make the crack completely invisible. A high-quality repair strengthens the damaged area and prevents further cracking. When done correctly, repairs are long-lasting and safe for everyday driving
