A chipped or cracked windshield requires immediate attention. Even the smallest chip can spread and put both you and your passengers at increased risk. Your windshield is a major component of your cars safety system, and therefore must be maintained. Glass Doctor® of Elko offers repair or replacement of your damaged windshield, returning your vehicle’s safety and structural integrity the same day you call!
Determining Windshield Service
There are several factors we consider when determining if windshield repair is an option, or if a windshield replacement is necessary.
- Size of the Damage: Though there are exceptions, generally any chip larger than 3/8 inch or cracks longer than three inches require replacement.
- Location of the Damage: Cracks that extend to the windshield's edge generally require replacement because they have a tendency to spread. Chips or cracks that directly impair sight lines also require replacement. Repair sometimes does not cure clearly and can leave a slight outline in the repaired area.
- Timespan: The longer your wait, the more likely replacement will be necessary. Dirt and grime can build-up-making repair unreliable or impossible.
We work directly with all major insurance carriers and will handle the paperwork for you. It’s always smart to contact your insurance representative to verify coverage before having any work done. Don’t procrastinate and put your family at risk! Contact Glass Doctor of Elko today. Our specialists have the expertise to determine all of your windshield repair or replacement needs.
Windshield Repair
Windshield repair is a safe and low-cost alternative to replacement that can stop chips and cracks from spreading. Glass Doctor of Elko will always try to repair your windshield first. We recommend repair over replacement for many reasons including:
- Convenience: Our specialists can perform most repairs and have you back on the road safely in less than an hour. Work is completed onsite for your benefit.
- Inexpensive: Repair is an economical alternative to replacement,
- Insurance Benefits: Because it’s so economical, most insurance companies will waive the deductible and pay for the repair.
- Environmentally Sound: Repair keeps your windshield out of the landfill where it will stay forever!
For proper windshield crack repair, our specialists begin by removing any debris from the impacted area. We sometimes use a drill to create a clean passageway for the resin. The resin is then injected into the damaged area using a special tool that adheres to the windshield’s surface. After injection, the resin is allowed to cure and polished to a crystal clear finish.
