Although it may be small today, a tiny crack in your windshield quickly grows into a big problem. Over time, dirt and heat cause minor damage to spread and ultimately compromise your safety. The best and safest solution is to contact Glass Doctor® of The Bay Area in Hayward once you notice damage in your windshield.
In determining whether to repair or replace your windshield, Glass Doctor of The Bay Area considers several factors.
Typically, when cracks are longer than three inches or if chips are more than 3/8 of an inch, the windshield will be replaced.
Anytime the crack or chip is near the edge of the windshield, it usually requires replacement because of its tendency to spread. If the chip or crack is located in your line of vision, it should be replaced since repairs result in a slight blur and may distract drivers.
It's important to have chips and cracks addressed as soon as possible. When you leave them unattended, dirt builds up and makes it almost impossible to have a successful repair. As a result, replacing the windshield becomes imminent.
Anytime your windshield is damaged, it's important to call Glass Doctor of The Bay Area as soon as possible. According to the Auto Glass Safety Council™ (AGSC), your windshield accounts for up to 60% of the structural integrity of your vehicle in a rollover accident. Instead of allowing a chipped or cracked windshield compromise your safety, contact us today to determine whether your windshield needs repair or replacement.
Windshield repair quickly stops small chips and cracks from spreading and compromising the safety of all of your passengers. In addition, windshield repair is the preferred solution because it offers the following benefits:
Our specialist will quickly perform windshield repairs at your location within an hour.
Repair is more cost effective than having to replace your entire windshield.
Since a repair saves insurance companies money, many providers waive deductibles and pay for the repairs.
Windshield repair is the environmentally-friendly choice because it keeps your old glass out of landfills, where it stays forever.
Our specialists use an industry best-practice process to repair your windshield, starting with the removal of debris. Sometimes a small hole is drilled to generate a clean space for the repair resin. Once the resin is injected into the damaged area, it cures to secure the strength of the glass. Finally, the windshield is polished to achieve a clear finish.
The timely replacement of your windshield is a matter of safety, and Glass Doctor of The Bay Area uses an efficient process that follows AGSC guidelines. Most importantly, we match your windshield with one that duplicates the qualities of your original. During the one-hour dry time, we explain the guarantee that is included in each replacement service. Our Windshield Protection Plan protects your glass for 12 months after installation.

The best quality, service, and speed! I walk in all the time and the team gets the job done. Because I drive so much, i always get rocks to crack my windshield. But thankfully Jay and his team is always accessible. They have done paint jobs and repairs on my cars as well and its always a phenomenal job. Very good pricing too compared to all the quotes others have given me!
Everything went well from the estimate to the time of installation regarding a sliding glass door (stationary side) and two smaller windows (all double Pane). Estimate was the lowest. Alberto and Jorge were respectful to us and the property they are professional, skillfull and know their trade. Its been about two months since the installation and so far there are no problems. They'll be the first on our list to call if we have any other window issues . Thank You Robin & Glass Doctor.
Good staff, Great service, better price than name brands!! In and out in 1 hrs for windshields replacement!! Highly recommended
I got my car window replaced, and they did an amazing job! The service was fast, and the staff was super friendly. Their prices are also very reasonable. They made the whole process so easy and hassle-free. I really appreciate their professionalism and efficiency. Definitely the best place to go for car window repairs!
I have Andersen Window are not under warranty where the gas between the panes had leaked out and escaped leaving a soap scum looking residue on the window. When I called Andersen windows their rep came out and explained they couldn’t repair the window but instead tried to convince me to replace the whole window at $6,600!. I called several other glass companies to see if I can get it repaired and none would take the job as they said Andersen windows were built so that a third party couldn’t repair them. I called Glass Doctor to give them a try and they immediately reassured me that they can get the job done right and they did! The window came out as if nothing happened to it. It matched perfectly in color and tint, and they left the wood framing in excellent condition. The best part was it only cost me $620 roughly, saving me nearly $6000! I will definitely be back to use them in the future and will recommend them to all who need glass services. I have attached a before and after picture.
