When your windshield sustains minor damage, you face a difficult choice: repair the damage or replace the glass. The auto glass specialists at Glass Doctor® of Valdosta and North Florida, GA act quickly to assess the damage, repair chips and replace cracked windshields, to ensure your vehicle is structurally sound and safe to drive.
Glass Doctor of Valdosta and North Florida, GA uses three factors to determine whether windshield repair or replacement is appropriate.
Location: If the damage is at the edge of the windshield or in the driver’s direct line of site, Glass Doctor recommends replacement to maintain structural integrity.
Size: Windshield repair is optimal in situations where the chip is roughly the size of a quarter or the crack is less than six inches.
Time: If your windshield is left unattended, dirt and debris can accumulate making it difficult to repair. If dirt cannot be completely removed from the damaged area, a full windshield replacement is necessary.
