Auto Glass Repair or Windshield Replacement

Here's how to decide to repair or to replace your auto glass.

Repairing a chip in your windshield may be a viable alternative to replacing the entire windshield. According to insurance company statistics, up to 30% of damaged windshields can be successfully repaired. Most insurance companies will waive your deductible too if you decide to have your windshield repaired instead of replaced.

Not every stone chip is repairable. If you can hide it by placing a quarter on it, it's worth checking out.
