No matter how careful you are on the road, unexpected accidents can occur. From a large rock propelled by a passing truck to a fallen branch crashing through your windshield during a storm, such incidents can lead to significant damage. When faced with irreparable windshield damage, prompt replacement becomes crucial to maintain your vehicle’s structural integrity and ensure your safety on the road. At Tucson Auto Glass Repair Pros, we recognize the urgency of such situations and specialize in providing prompt and effective windshield replacement services tailored to your needs. Our experienced technicians are dedicated to delivering top-notch windshield replacement service to the Tucson community.
When Repair Isn’t an Option
We aim to repair chipped or cracked windshields as much as possible. However, there are cases when the damage to your windshield is beyond repair. Whether it’s a branch falling onto your car during a storm or a sudden impact from a large object, certain incidents can result in irreparable damage. When repair isn’t an option, relying on professional windshield replacement becomes essential to restore your vehicle’s structural integrity and ensure your safety on the road.
Repair vs. Replacement
Determining whether your windshield needs repair or replacement involves evaluating various factors specific to the damage incurred.
Size and Location of the Damage
Typically, damage smaller than the size of a dollar bill is repairable. However, if the damage extends to the outer edges, particularly within the driver’s line of sight or in critical areas like the corners of the windshield, replacement may be necessary to maintain structural integrity and ensure unobstructed visibility.
Depth and Internal Damage
When assessing damage, the depth of cracks or chips is crucial. Extensive or internal damage that compromises the windshield’s strength cannot be effectively repaired. If the damage is deep or affects the inner layers of the glass, replacement is often recommended to uphold safety standards.
Presence of Multiple Cracks or Chips
The presence of multiple cracks or chips can significantly weaken the windshield, making it more susceptible to shattering upon impact. In such scenarios, opting for replacement might be the safest choice to mitigate the risk of unexpected breakage and ensure overall safety while driving.
Our skilled technicians at Tucson Auto Glass Repair Pros are adept at evaluating windshield damage and determining the most appropriate solution for your vehicle. Whether it entails utilizing advanced repair techniques to inject restorative resin or executing a seamless windshield replacement, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction throughout the process.
