We’ve all been there…driving on the road and WHACK!…a rock hits our windshield, leaving a chip. Chips, cracks, scratches, and other types of windshield damage may suddenly appear, leaving your car unsightly. But, more concerning is that it may compromise the structural integrity, and therefore the protective abilities, of your windshield. Before damage grows, be proactive – get professional windshield repair.
It can be easy to ignore small chips and cracks, putting off dealing with repair for a later date. Windshield chips and cracks, when left unrepaired, may grow and become a dangerous and expensive problem. This is because windshield damage that is larger than a quarter or a crack longer than a dollar bill may necessitate a complete windshield replacement. However, if the damage is relatively small and repaired as soon as possible, the damage can be stopped from growing and requiring a complete replacement.
No matter where you live, the weather fluctuates and in Arizona, the swings are very extreme. As the weather gets cold, it naturally causes windshield glass to contract and as the temperature heats up, windshield glass will expand. This is normal and not a concern in windshields that are intact. But, if your windshield has chips or cracks, the natural expansion and contraction may cause chips and cracks to grow past the point of being able to be repaired.
Proactive windshield repair will often save you a lot of money because replacing your windshield is far more expensive than repairing small damage. It is important to work with an experienced windshield repair company that prioritizes keeping your vehicle’s original glass which maintains your factory seal. With a properly repaired windshield, one of your car’s most important safety features is intact and you can rest assured that your car’s safety is maximized.
