When a repair isn't enough

A chip or crack in your windshield is more than an annoyance. It can spread, distract you while you drive and weaken the glass. When the damage is too large, too close to the edge or in your line of sight, replacement is the safer choice.

We partner with a professional glass company that comes out to our shop to do the replacement, so you can handle your glass and its protection in one place. They accept insurance as well as cash. Tell us what's damaged and we'll walk you through your options.

Already replacing your windshield? It's the ideal time to add windshield protection film or window tint, so your new glass stays clear and protected from day one.

Repair or replace? How to decide

Small damage can often be repaired, but larger damage usually calls for replacement. Here is how to think about it.

What you seeWhat it usually means
A small chip, roughly the size of a coinOften repairable, if it has not spread
A crack that is growing or longUsually needs replacement
Damage near the edge of the glassOften needs replacement, because edge damage weakens the glass
Damage in the driver's line of sightUsually needs replacement for a clear, safe view
Multiple chips or heavy pittingOften replacement

This is a rough guide. Tell us what you are seeing and we will advise, with clear expectations up front.
