Windshield Maintenance Tips & Tricks for After a Rock Chip Repair
Our glass specialists will handle the heavy lifting. After your windshield repair, it’ll be up to you to properly maintain it and exercise necessary precautions.
- Driving safely on gravelly or poorly maintained roads:Gravel roads can pose a threat to your vehicle's windshield due to the potential for rocks and debris to be kicked up by other vehicles or your own tires. Try to avoid tailgating, sudden stops, or turns, and reduce your speed when driving on these types of surfaces.
- Regularly inspecting for chips and cracks:Small chips or cracks can spread into larger fractures that may eventually require total windshield replacement. Routinely examining your glass for any damage can prevent it from growing into a larger issue.
How Pricing Works on Windshield Chip Repairs
The cost of a windshield chip repair depends on a few different factors, including the type of vehicle, extent of damage, and any advanced technology features your glass offers. While we can’t provide an exact quote without assessing your needs in person, we can guarantee that once we do provide a final estimate, that’ll be the price that you’ll pay.
Here at Glass Doctor, there are never any hidden fees or surprise charges upon receiving your final bill. If your vehicle requires additional services, we’re always upfront about the cost increase and obtain your approval before performing any further work.
Protection Plans
If you require a full windshield replacement, we’re happy to offer two distinct protection plans to cover customers in case of further damage.
- Windshield Coverage: This package is provided to our customers at no additional cost and offers unlimited repairs or a single windshield replacement within 12 months of the original installation date. Damage due to collision, vandalism, fraud, or acts of God are excluded, while labor, moldings, and adhesive will be an extra cost.
- Limited Windshield Warranty: With our Limited Windshield Warranty, customers are covered if they experience a leak or manufacturing issue that impairs vision while driving. It differs from our Protection Plan in that it does cover the cost of labor, protects against manufacturing defects that impair vision, and offers a lifetime warranty against leakage.
