Windshield Repair Myths

1. Mobile Windshield Repair is Expensive
In reality, it’s one of the cheapest repairs out there. If you have a chip the size of a quarter or smaller, you can get it repaired for about $60. If you wait and the crack grows, you may have to replace the entire windshield, which can be expensive. But most chips and cracks, if repaired soon after the damage, are very cost-friendly 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 Go to My Car Dealer to Get a Rock Chip Repaired
This is true only if you want to overpay. There are windshield crack repair specialists that offer fast and affordable service, and they often come to your home or office to fix your windshield while you work.

4. I Have to Pay Out of Pocket for Windshield Repair
Check with your insurance, because it’s likely your insurance will pay for some forms of windshield chip repair. They may even waive the deductible, since repairing your windshield is so much cheaper than replacing a windshield. Should you need total windshield replacement, you may have to pay a deductible with your insurance.

5. I Can Just Buy a Cheap Repair Kit and Do It Myself
You wouldn’t do your own open heart surgery, would you? While windshield crack repair isn’t as complicated as surgery, it’s best to leave it to the experts to ensure the job gets done correctly. And 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.

6. 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.

7. Having Windshield Repair Means I Won’t Have My Car for Days
Repairing a chip or crack in a windshield often takes just minutes. You can take your car to a mobile windshield repair facility or call to arrange service while you’re working or at home. It’s fast, easy, and won’t take up your time.

All of these issues are even less of a concern when you rely on a windshield chip repair company you trust. When you work with a company that places you first, you are certain to get quality, guaranteed results – every time.
