A damaged windshield is enough to bring your travel to a screeching halt. You need to get your vehicle back on the road quickly, and you're probably wondering if windshield replacement or repair is necessary. At Glass Doctor® of The Front Range, we make it our mission to save our customers time and money by repairing windshields rather than replacing them whenever possible. If your damage is severe, we will conduct a premium replacement service to restore your vehicle.
Our specialists consider several factors to help you decide if windshield replacement or repair is your best option:
- Size: We can almost always repair windshields with cracks shorter than three inches or chips smaller than 3/8 inch. Windshields with more serious damage must be replaced.
- Location: Splintering cracks near the edge of a windshield often warrant replacement because they tend to spread. Windshields with damage directly in the driver's line of vision must also be replaced because the repair sometimes leaves a slight outline that may impair the driver's vision.
- Timespan: If chips and cracks are left unaddressed for a long time, dirt builds up in the damaged area, making repairs difficult. This is one reason why damaged windshields should be attended to as quickly as possible.
Glass Doctor of The Front Range will file any insurance paperwork for you in an effort to ease any hassle associated with auto glass work. We work with all major carriers in the Fort Collins area. We advise all our customers to verify coverage with your agent before bringing your vehicle to our team for windshield replacement or repair.
