Repair vs. Replacement: Common Sense Approach
Would you throw away a good suit because of a small burn or tear, or a wooden table because of a small nick or scratch? Most likely you would have a blemish repaired...If repair were possible.
Now, the same kind of common-sense approach is applicable when your auto windshield is damaged. Safe repairs can be made of most small breaks, and it simply makes sense to do so since a new windshield may cost $400 or more.
Types of Windshield Chips That Can Be Repaired
90% of all broken windshields start from one of these:
The Process: We use pressure and vacuum cycles to remove the air fromthe break and replace it with an optically matched resin, we then cure the resin in the sun or with an ultra violet light.
The Results: After the auto glass repair is complete the damage will improve dramatically. It will no longer have a chance to spread, and even though the auto glass repair will not completely disappear we pride our selfs on performing the highest quality auto glass rock chip repair in the greater Austin area.
Safety Benefits: Windshield chip repair helps prevent auto glass windshield replacement. This might not seem that important, but maintaining the factory seal from your windshield to the frame of your car is incredibly important.
The windshield acts as a backstop when your airbags deploy, and as a support in a rollover accident. If the windshield is comprised by either unrepaired rock damage or an improper replacement the airbag might not deploy properly.
Other Benefits: Every year windshield repair helps prevent thousands and thousands of windshields from being dumped into landfills all over the world. Windshields aren't easily recyclable, therefor by repairing your windshield in a timely matter you're doing your part to clean up our plan
