A crack or chip on a windshield is more than an imperfection in the glass. A chipped or cracked windshield is a safety hazard that’s potentially fatal if your vehicle is in a collision. To protect the occupants in your vehicle, Glass Doctor® of Virginia Beach recommends that you schedule a windshield repair or replacement as soon as you notice a crack or chip with its in-shop or mobile service.

Windshield Repair or Windshield Replacement
When you work with Glass Doctor of Virginia Beach, an auto glass specialist will make the decision to repair or replace a windshield based on the safest option. Factors taken into consideration include:
- Impact Size: We generally repair chips that are the size of a quarter or smaller, as well as cracks that are three inches or less. If you have a chip on your windshield that has not been repaired, we recommend that you avoid using the vehicle's defrost setting because it may cause a crack to spread. Once the chip has been repaired, this is no longer a threat.
- Impact age: The more dirt the chip or crack has, the more difficult it is to repair.
- Impact location: Cracks near a windshield’s edge and chips in a driver’s line of sight require replacements.
A windshield repair will help restore your vehicle’s structural integrity. Schedule an appointment with an experienced auto glass specialist from Glass Doctor of Virginia Beach today!
Windshield Repair Procedure
Whenever it’s a safe option, Glass Doctor of Virginia Beach recommends windshield repairs over replacements because:
-
Cost & savings: Windshield repairs cost less than replacements.
-
Efficiency: Windshield repairs take under 60 minutes to complete. Glass Doctor of Virginia Beach has a faster safe drive-away time than anyone else.
-
Safety: Repairs preserve the original factory equipment and prevent dangerous glass breaks in a collision.
-
Eco-friendly: Windshield glass usually ends up in landfills because it’s difficult to recycle. A repair saves resources and landfill space.
-
Insurance benefits: Depending on your auto policy, your insurance company may cover the cost of a windshield repair and waive the deductible. Glass Doctor of Virginia Beach will gladly take care of the glass claim for you.

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.
