Florida Windshield Repair

In general, if windshield damage is smaller than a dime, it can usually be repaired without the need for a replacement windshield. However, a chipped windshield will compromise the performance of your vehicle’s safety systems and present a general safety hazard. Even a small chip or crack requires urgent attention from auto glass professionals to contain the damage.

Taking these actions can help to ensure the effectiveness of a windshield repair:

• Schedule your appointment for repair as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that contaminants will prohibit a successful repair.
• Cover the “ding” as soon as possible. A small piece of scotch tape will reduce the infiltration of contaminants, improving the repair process’s success.

Since a break can progress quickly, it’s important to take these steps to address it right away. Windshield damage could be considered “disabling damage” in the event of an accident.

Can You Repair a Cracked Windshield?

Before you go through with a windshield repair, it is crucial to assess the extent of the damage. Whether the damage amounts to just a small chip or a large crack can affect the potential for repair. When deciding if your windshield needs to be repaired or replaced, contact our professionals and we will gladly discuss the options with you.

A chip has a small diameter that expands through the windshield and is fully contained in its little area. Depending on the location of the chipped glass, you might only require a simple repair. However, if the chipped area is directly in the driver’s line of sight, a full
replacement may be necessary.

A crack is usually larger and makes its way through the entire windshield. This type of damage is more severe and requires a full replacement.

How To Repair a Broken Windshield

A windshield is an important safety component of a car, and repairing it correctly requires contacting the services of a trained auto glass professional. Once an expert technician arrives, they will inspect the damaged area in more detail to check for chips and dings. Typically, a technician can repair small chips and dings.

Next, using state-of-the-art windshield repair equipment, a specially formulated resin will be carefully injected into the void left behind by the glass. The repaired chip will be cured with a UV curing lamp. The windshield is now fully repaired and completely safe. This is the general process. Please consult with our professionals for further guidance on windshield repair.

Front Windshield Repair

Front windshield damage is the most common issue that plagues drivers. This happens when road debris hits your car and puts dings and divots into the windshield.

Often, the damage is so subtle you won’t even realize it until after it starts spreading across the entire windshield. For that reason, it’s important to stay vigilant and check your windshield often for dings or chips.

Rear Windshield Repair

Your automobile’s rear windshield is just as important as the front windshield. It’s vital to have a clear view of potential obstacles and other drivers, and cracks and dings can obstruct that view.

Most importantly, rear windshields are made of tempered glass, which explodes into thousands of small pieces of glass. This means repair is not possible and a full windshield replacement is always necessary for damaged rear windshields.

Side Window Repair

Side windows have more potential for different types of damage. Like rear windshields, side windows are also made of tempered glass. When damaged, they will break into many s2mall pieces. It isn’t possible to repair this damage, so side windows will always need to be fully replaced.

In addition to broken glass, there are mechanical components of side windows that can break and fail. This can make replacing side windows more complex, requiring more expertise to repair. In some areas, this repair may even be covered entirely by insurance, which can help with costs.

How Much Does It Cost To Repair a Windshield?

In the state of Florida, it does not cost you any money to repair a windshield — no matter what kind of vehicle you have. With comprehensive insurance, the cost of repair is always waived, resulting in zero out-of-pocket expenses.

Insurance Coverage

Florida has some of the nation’s best automobile glass repairs since state law requires insurance companies to waive all comprehensive policy deductibles for windshield repair or replacement.

Your coverage is not affected by the following conditions:

• Who was at fault;
• What caused the damage to your automobile glass;
• Why it was damaged in the first place.

Instead, your insurance company is legally bound to cover automobile damage, often at little to no cost to you. However, some vehicles have more specialized glass, which can require extra care in order to safely repair.

Special Vehicle Glass Repair

Each vehicle’s glass has unique quirks that need a skilled expert’s attention in the event of damage. The vehicle glass repair process and cost can depend on the type of automobile, such as an RV, motor home, coach, or semi-truck. When it comes to replacing and repairing glass in oversized vehicles, expertise and care are particularly important.

Replacing or repairing oversize vehicle glass damage can be difficult and dangerous, requiring specialized equipment and expertise. A trained specialist with the right tools and access to replacement glass can tend to the damaged area properly
