Cracked Windshield? How to Know When to Repair or Replace Your Auto Glass
When it comes to vehicle maintenance, your windshield might not be the first thing on your mind – but it should be. That seemingly small chip or crack in your auto glass could compromise your safety and your wallet if left unaddressed. Apollo Glass specializes in auto glass repair and replacement that’s fast, reliable, and built to last, so you can drive with confidence.
Why Your Auto Glass Deserves Attention
Your windshield is more than just a piece of glass – it’s a key part of your vehicle’s safety system. It:
- Supports your vehicle’s structural integrity in the event of a rollover
- Helps ensure proper airbag deployment
- Provides clear visibility, which is crucial for safe driving
- Is an integral part of your car’s safety system if you have a vehicle with ADAS technology
Ignoring a crack or chip, no matter how small, can lead to bigger problems down the road. Temperature shifts, road vibrations, and even everyday bumps can cause minor damage to spread quickly, turning a simple repair into a full replacement.
Repair or Replace? Here’s How to Know
At Apollo Glass, our experienced technicians will assess the damage and help determine the best option for your vehicle.
Windshield Repair is often possible when:
- The chip is smaller than a quarter
- There are three or fewer chips
- The damage isn’t in the driver’s direct line of sight
Windshield Replacement may be necessary if:
- The crack is longer than a few inches
- The damage extends to the edge of the glass
