Damage to your windshield should always be addressed quickly to avoid compromising the safety and integrity of your vehicle. Glass Doctor® of Englewood, CO specializes in windshield chip repair and auto glass replacement. Although most windshield chips can be repaired, the experts at Glass Doctor of Englewood, CO assess each case individually to decide whether windshield chip repair or replacement is necessary. Determining factors include:
- Size: Typically chips larger than a quarter and cracks larger than three inches require replacement, with a few exceptions.
- Location: Cracks or chips that fall directly in the driver’s line of vision call for replacement since a repair could leave a slight outline of the area. Splintered cracks or chips near the edge of the windshield are more apt to spread and require replacement.
- Time span: Delaying repair allows a buildup of dirt and residue to accumulate in the damaged area, making repair less dependable and windshield replacement the required option.
Glass Doctor of Englewood, CO makes the process simple and stress-free by working with all major insurance companies and filing any necessary paperwork to your carrier. However, it is recommended that you check with your insurance agent to confirm your coverage.
