Windshield glass repair doesn't have to be a painful experience, especially when you have Glass Doctor® of Dothan on your side. Our specialists will determine whether you need a windshield repair or a full replacement.
There are several key factors that our auto glass specialist will take into consideration when assessing a damaged windshield.
- Size: Typically you'll need a replacement when you have a chip that measures at least 3/8 inch across or a crack that measures at least three inches long.
- Location: There are a couple windshield locations that tend to require a full replacement. The first is the edge of the windshield, as cracks along the edge are more likely to spread. The second is anywhere in the driver's line of vision. Most repairs don't cure fully, which leaves faint marks in the repaired area. These marks can be distracting to the driver.
- Time span: The longer you leave a damaged windshield unattended, the more likely it is that you'll need a full replacement. A clean repair is unattainable if dirt and debris builds up in the chips and cracks.
