A small crack or damage to vehicle glass is one of those things that many people put off for another day. Getting a windshield replacement for a small crack seems unnecessary, but a repair may be required to save future problems. Often, individuals let a small crack grow over time without realizing it, until there is no way to repair it.
A repair is the most economical choice for your auto glass needs. When a small rock or debris hits your windshield and causes a crack, you should seek repair immediately. Often, insurance will pay for rock chip repair, because they know it is cheaper than replacing the entire windshield in the future. Repairs can only be made if you call soon after the chip occurred. Overtime, the crack will expand and the simple repair cannot be completed. At that time, a more expensive windshield replacement will need to take place.
If you miss the boat on a repair, you do not need to worry. Any auto glass shop can replace the glass at an affordable price. Often, insurance will cover windshield replacement with only a small deductible owed by you. All major insurance companies operating will pay for replacement through the company. Most companies also usually offer $50 cash back on replacements. But remember this, chip repairs are MUCH cheaper than a full replacement.
If you do have your windshield replaced by most windshield replacement shops offer lifetime repair for rock chips. However, the same holds true for these repairs. If you do not contact the shop as soon as the chip occurs, they may not be able to repair it.
When you need a repair or windshield replacement, do not let your busy schedule or financial issues get in the way. Acting immediately can save you money on more expensive replacements and repairs. Call to schedule service a repair today if you have any cracks in your windshield, because it will result in a windshield replacement in the future if you delay. Free mobile service means they can come to your home, office or anywhere in the area to fix or replace your windshield.
