When considering windshield crack repair, many vehicle owners may wonder if their damaged windshield is in need of complete replacement instead. Glass Doctor® of Midland, MI typically repairs most chips, but if the windshield has a crack longer than three inches, we recommend the windshield be replaced immediately. These large cracks are difficult to fix, but, more importantly, a damaged windshield negatively affects the structural integrity of your vehicle. Solving your auto glass dilemma is our specialty.

Windshield Repair & Replacement Service Criteria
When weighing windshield crack repair and replacement service, we advise vehicle owners to take a few factors into consideration. First, the size of the damage is important. If the windshield has any cracks longer than three inches, or chips larger than 3/8 inch, the windshield should be completely replaced to ensure safety is fully restored.
Location is also important. If a crack has splintered to the edge of a windshield, it has disrupted the bond along between the pane and vehicle. This type of crack also spreads, even after repair, which weakens your windshield reliability. If the damage obscures the driver's line of sight any repair will leave a distracting outline in your field of vision. The best solution in either scenario is to install a new windshield.
Finally, the longer you've had a crack or chip in your windshield, the more likely it is to have accumulated dirt that makes the repair process difficult, if not impossible. Avoid an unnecessary replacement service by attacking the moment glass damage occurs.
Windshield Crack Repair
Windshield repair is less expensive than replacement and will stop damage from spreading across your windshield. Many insurance companies will waive your deductible when paying for repair because it's less expensive and has a positive effect on your vehicle's safety. Plus, because our team performs the repair work at your location and it takes less than 30 minutes to complete, it is the most convenient service option.
When our specialists repair a windshield, we remove debris from the cracks or chips, sometimes drilling into the space to create a clean pathway for the resin. Then we inject the resin into the damaged area, allow it to cure it and polish to a clear finish.

I had a break-in at a business so I called the Glass Doctor. They were very nice and were able to get out to me first thing that morning and replace the glass in a very timely manner. The glass door looks great. I would recommend them to anyone.
Amanda S. -
We just had Glass Doctor fix our panes, 8 in our house. They do beautiful professional work. I recommend them to everyone. Our windows were 3 panes thick and the seals broke. There was steam in between the glass and it looked chalky.
