LET US REPAIR YOUR WINDSHIELD

Windshield repair is a process of fixing small damages on a vehicle’s windshield, such as chips, cracks, and bullseye breaks, without the need for a full windshield replacement. The goal of windshield repair is to restore the structural integrity and optical clarity of the glass, preventing the damage from spreading and ensuring the driver’s safety.

The windshield repair process typically involves the following steps:

Cleaning the Area: The damaged area on the windshield is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris, dirt, or moisture from the impact site. This step ensures a proper bond between the repair materials and the glass.
Injecting Resin: A specialized windshield repair tool is used to inject a clear resin or adhesive into the damaged area. The resin is designed to fill the chip or crack, bonding the layers of glass together and restoring its strength.
Curing the Resin: After the resin is injected, the repair technician uses UV light or other curing methods to harden the resin. This solidifies the repair and makes it more durable.
Leveling and Polishing: Once the resin is cured, the excess resin is trimmed and leveled to match the surrounding glass surface. The repair area is then polished to improve its optical clarity.

Windshield repair is most effective for small damages, typically those smaller than a quarter in size, and it is essential to address the damage promptly. If left unattended, small chips and cracks can spread due to temperature changes, vibrations, and road conditions, eventually requiring a full windshield replacement.

Advantages of Windshield Repair:

Cost-Effective: Repairing a small chip or crack is much more cost-effective than replacing the entire windshield.
Time-Saving: Windshield repair can often be completed within 30 minutes to an hour, allowing you to get back on the road quickly.
Safety: Properly repaired windshields restore the structural integrity of the glass, ensuring that it will perform as intended during an accident or collision.
Insurance Coverage: Many insurance policies cover windshield repairs, so you may not have to bear the full cost of the repair.

Limitations of Windshield Repair:

Size and Location of Damage: Windshield repair is only suitable for small chips and cracks, typically those smaller than a quarter and not in the driver’s line of sight. Larger or more severe damage may require a windshield replacement.
Age and Condition of the Windshield: If the windshield has numerous chips, cracks, or severe delamination, it may not be a good candidate for repair, and replacement may be necessary.

Windshield repair is an effective way to address small damages, ensuring that the windshield remains safe and functional while preserving its original factory seal and appearance. If you notice any chips or cracks on your windshield, it is best to have them inspected and repaired by a qualified auto glass repair technician as soon as possible
