You smash your windshield completely in an accident - cost of replacement, $400.00.
Your windshield suffers a minor rock chip, which soon develops into a major crack - cost of windshield replacement, $400.00 again. So irrespective of the reason behind windshield replacement, the cost remains the same. But, what if you could actually utilize an auto glass repair technique, which will save you this cost? So, you need not opt for windshield replacement unless you actually have shattered your glass completely.

1. My Chip Won’t Crack

Maybe, but most do. Research shows 7 out of 10 do, and without proper repair the windshield will need replaced. If you have a chip the size of a quarter or smaller, you can get it repaired for about $50 and most of the time, for free. If you wait and the damage spreads, you may have to replace the entire windshield, which can be expensive. Most chips and cracks, if repaired soon after the damage, are very inexpensive to repair.

2. I HAVE To Have My Windshield Replaced

Not every rock chip or small crack warrants a total windshield replacement. Most are manageable enough to benefit from auto glass repair without going to the trouble and expense of replacing your entire windshield.

3. I Have To Pay Out Of Pocket For Windshield Repair

Not normally. Most insurance companies will waive your deductible on a chip repair, since repairing your windshield is so much less expensive than replacing a windshield. Should you need total windshield replacement, you may have to pay a deductible with your insurance.

4. I Can Just Buy A Cheap Repair Kit And Do It Myself

Once you use a do-it-yourself kit we can no longer attempt to repair your windshield. Most cheap kits are just that. Cheap. With most auto glass repair services offering guarantees on their work, you can be rest assured you won’t have problems down the road that could cost even more to remedy.

5. A Chip Is A Chip Is A Chip

Unfortunately, not all windshield chips are created equal. There are four main types of chips: star break, combo break, partial bullseye, and bullseye. Each one may spread differently or at different speeds, so it’s important to take your car to an expert as soon as possible to determine if you can have windshield chip repair done.
