Signs You Need Windshield Replacement

Your windshield plays an imperative role when it comes to road safety. Not only does it shield you and your passengers from the elements, it also defends you against road debris that gets kicked up as you drive. Stones, dust, dirt, and even bugs can cause damage under the right circumstances; it's important to have a solid line of defense against these hazards. All windshields wear down over time, but all it takes is one flying rock at the wrong angle to create a potentially dangerous situation. Here are some signs that it might be time for windshield replacement:

• Cracks & Chips: Small or large breaks in your windshield are the most obvious sign that something is wrong. In some cases, these problems won't be huge problems on their own; however, they can grow quickly. Depending on the size and placement of the crack or chip, you might need windshield replacement. Only a professional will be able to tell you for sure.
• Bullseye Cracks: This type of crack is distinctive because of its shape; a crack that starts small but grows into an eventual circle shape with lines that radiate outward from the center. Bullseye cracks cause your windshield to weaken and eventually shatter. If you notice this type of crack, you need windshield replacement as soon as possible.
• Discoloration: If you notice white or yellow spots replacing the clear glass on your windshield, your windshield is old enough that it's showing signs of too much sun exposure. This is a good time to replace your windshield to stay safe.
• Cloudy or Swirly Glass: Chipped windshields can collect dust and dirt particles under their surface over time. While these clouds don't require immediate attention on their own, your windshield will eventually turn more and more opague as time goes on. Replacing it will prevent this safety hazard.
• Rapid Crack or Chip Expansion: If you have a crack or chip on your windshield that is quickly expanding or branching into multiple fractures, you need immediate windshield replacement - this is a sign that your windshield is on the verge of shattering.

Replacing your windshield as quickly as possible after you notice any of these warning signs will keep you and your passengers safe for the foreseeable future. Give our team a call if you suspect that you need this service!

Quality Windshield Repair

It happens time and time again. You are driving down the road and a small rock gets kicked up from a vehicle in front of you and hits your windshield. Sometimes this causes a crack or a chip in your windshield which requires repairs. A windshield repair is a great alternative to having to replace your whole windshield. Our techs can help you determine if your windshield can be repaired or not.

A rule of thumb when determining this: if the crack is smaller than the size of a credit card, the crack is not in the driver’s line of vision, and the crack does not go through the glass, you might be able to get away with windshield repair rather than a full replacement. It's important to fix a small chip or crack as soon as possible as this will help save you the headache of having to replace the entire windshield soon down the line.
