Whether the windshield of your vehicle is suffering from small chips or cracks that need repair, or it is damaged to the extent that replacement is inevitable, the specialists at Glass Doctor® of Port St. Lucie have the experience and skills necessary to take care of all of your auto glass needs.
Windshield Repair or Replacement
In order to decide whether your vehicle's windshield can be repaired or if a replacement is recommended, the specialists at Glass Doctor of Port St. Lucie take a variety of factors into consideration.
-
Size: In most situations, windshield replacement is recommended for chips that measure more than 3/8 inch in diameter and cracks that are larger than three inches in length in order to maintain the integrity of your vehicle's windshield.
-
Location: Chips that are located near eye level typically require windshield replacement to prevent your line of vision from being obstructed; repaired areas sometimes leave a cloudy spot. Additionally, cracks that are located on or near the edge of the windshield tend to spread more easily and often indicate a need for complete windshield replacement.
-
Age of Damage: Older cracks and chips are susceptible to the buildup of dirt and debris, making a successful repair more difficult. Failure to address even smaller cracks or chips early on will result in windshield replacement. Luckily, our team specializes in windshield replacement, too.
Windshield Repair
When you choose to have your windshield repaired the specialists at Glass Doctor of Port St. Lucie clear away any dirt or debris from the damaged area first. In some cases, a drill is used to create a smooth, clean base for the repair resin. The specialist then injects the damaged area with the repair resin, and the area is cured. As a final touch, the repaired area is polished to a clear finish.
There are numerous benefits to having your windshield repaired instead of replaced whenever possible.
- Cost: Windshield repair is much less expensive than having your entire windshield replaced and many insurance companies will even opt to waive your deductible when you choose repair instead of replacement. Contact your individual auto insurance carrier for details about your auto glass coverage.
- Fast and Convenient: The specialists at Glass Doctor of Port St. Lucie are available on your schedule, and since repairs typically take less than one hour, in most cases your windshield can be repaired while you wait.
- Environment: When you choose to have your existing windshield repaired you won't need to worry about your glass being discarded in your local landfill.
