Will my car insurance cover windshield crack repair and replacement?

Insurance coverage for windshield crack repair and replacement varies by policy. Glass Doctor works with all major insurance providers. We handle the insurance filing process for you, ensuring a hassle-free experience, from start to finish. When you schedule an appointment, we'll simply verify your insurance coverage and take care of the paperwork from there.

Can a crack in my windshield spread again even after it has been repaired?

While a professionally repaired windshield chip is less likely to spread, there are no guarantees. At Glass Doctor, we offer a Windshield Protection Plan. If your new windshield sustains damage or if a crack spreads within a year, we will repair it for free. If repair is not possible, we will replace the windshield at no cost.

Can I repair a crack in my windshield?

It depends. Whether or not a windshield crack can be repaired depends on the size and position of the chip. If your windshield has chips smaller than an inch and they are not in the driver's direct line of sight, they can usually be repaired by a professional. However, if the chip is larger than the diameter of a quarter or located in a critical area, a complete windshield replacement is necessary.

When to Opt for Windshield Crack Repair or Replacement

Deciding between windshield crack repair and replacement depends on the size and location of the damage. If the crack is less than three inches long, our glass specialists can typically repair it, maintaining your windshield's structural integrity and saving you money.

For cracks longer than three inches, windshield replacement is the safer option.
