Windshield Repair: a Cost Effective Alternative to Windshield Replacement

Windshield repair is a great alternative to a complete windshield replacement. However, it's important to know whether you need a windshield repair or not. Only a competent technician will be able to tell you the difference. If not, you run the risk of driving with an unsafe windshield.

While your windshield may seem like it just protects you from weather, wind and bugs, it serves an even greater purpose. It's actually a vital component of your vehicle's safety net and helps support the roof of your car. In reality, your windshield should be taken as seriously as your seat belts and airbags.

With so many "do-it-yourself" windshield repair kits on the Internet, why risk you and your family's safety when Apex Auto Glass can offer windshield repairs for nothing?

Generally, if the chip is smaller than a dollar bill or if the chip is not in the driver's line of vision, then you can pursue windshield repair instead of windshield replacement. One of our technicians can tell if the chip is an appropriate size for windshield repair and that distortion will not result after the windshield repair. They also can make sure that the windshield's inner PVB layer has not been penetrated or compromised.

Benefits:

  • Insurance deductible waived (most cases)
  • Windshield repair is more cost effective than replacement (cash price)
  • Repair Time: 15 minutes for each chip
  • Drive-away time: immediately

Disadvantages:

  • Blemishes don't disappear, but spreading is prevented
  • Limit of the cracks or chips covered by insurance is three (most cases)
  • Structural integrity of windshield may be compromised
