High-Quality Windshield Repair in Flagstaff, AZ, and Surrounding Areas

Neither reaction is the correct way to handle it. In addition to being an eyesore, a damaged windshield may very well impair your vision. Since it plays an important role in the overall safe operation of your vehicle any compromises can end up leading to dangerous situations. When it is time for a windshield repair the most important aspect is working with an experienced, skilled, and trustworthy auto glass company that will honestly determine whether it can be repaired or needs a full replacement.

As a general rule, windshield damage that is shorter than the length of a dollar bill or credit card and smaller than the diameter of a quarter may be a good candidate for a windshield repair in Flagstaff, AZ, and surrounding areas. It must be noted that no matter how small or large if the damage is located within the driver’s direct line of sight than the windshield should be replaced instead of repaired. Our windshield repair and replacement process are fairly simple. Our technician will remove any air and debris that is lodged in the damaged area.

They will then inject a specially formulated, clear liquid resin into the chip or small crack. The resin is cured or dried with an ultraviolet light source such as the sun or in most cases a portable lamp. On average it takes a good half an hour for the resin to fully cure. When the process is complete the structural integrity is restored to the windshield. As an added benefit the repair will prevent the glass from cracking. On that note when a chip is left untreated it can easily turn into a crack.

When that happens, the crack will spider out or continue to grow to the point where a more expensive windshield replacement is needed. If the windshield in your car, sports utility vehicle, truck, or van is chipped, then it is certainly a good idea to have it repaired immediately. That way you will significantly reduce the chances of a small chip turning into a more severe situation.
