What is a Windshield Repair?

  • Windshield Repair is a process that utilizes modern technology to repair rather than replace a damaged windshield
  • It saves money by preventing the need for a costly replacement
  • It's convenient
  • It does not affect the integrity of the original factory seal since the glass is never removed
  • You also keep your original quality glass
  • The repair provides a strong bond that prevents further cracks and improve the cosmetic appearance

Will my rock chip ever crack?

  • The possibility of your rock chip forming into a crack is greater now if not repaired
  • If you repair the rock chip before it turns into a crack, it will not spread under normal conditions
  • If not repaired, a rock chip could form a crack if there is a drastic change in temperature ( i.e washing your car on a very hot day with cold water) and/or if internal or external stress occurs to the windshield.
  • What kind of damage can be repaired?
  • Stone damage or "rock chips" up to the size of a .25 cent piece
  • Best results are obtained if the repair is done before the damaged area is contaminated from washing or inclement weather
  • A rock chip is usually round or star shaped and may have lines radiating from the center
  • If your rock chip appears to only be a white speck, it could be a non-repairable nick in the glass; A Don's Mobile Glass specialist can diagnose it for you

How is a damaged windshield repaired?

  • By injecting a specially formulated resin into the area. When the damaged area has been completely filled, it is exposed to an ultraviolet light which cures the resin. This restores 100% of the structural integrity and, in most cases, most of the clarity within the damaged area.
  • Most repairs can be completed in 15 to 30 minutes.

Can a chip spread while it's being fixed?

  • Industry statistics say that chances are 1 in 5000 for this to happen. Because DMG technicians are NGA certified and work under controlled conditions, we can assure you that the risk is minimal.

Do I need to bring in my vehicle or can this be done mobile?

  • Don's Mobile Glass offers in-shop and mobile service; the process is the same whether you bring it to us, or if we come to you.

How will the windshield look after the repair?

  • When looking through the windshield, your vision should not be impaired. If it is, then the windshield should be replaced.
  • In most cases, the damaged area should become noticeably clearer after being repaired; clarity though, is dependent on the size, age, amount of glass missing from the center, and the quantity of fragmented glass within the break.

What about my auto insurance?

  • Most insurance companies consider windshield repair a No Fault claim and it will not affect your insurance rate
  • Windshield repair is covered by the comprehensive portion of an individual's insurance policy. All major insurance companies encourage and have recognized the benefits of windshield repair.
