Do you need your windshield repaired? Let Us Have A Crack At Your Business! Robert LaCas Founder 1993 We specialize in windshield repair. If your windshield gets hit by a rock, this usually creates a rock chip or crack. Some breaks will run quicker than others. It all depends on what part of the windshield the rock hits. High stress areas are the edges of the windshield. The air pocket inside the crack or break has to find a release and that's what makes the break spread. We remove the air from the break and replace it with a uv based resin, which eliminates the break or crack from spreading further. Some breaks may still be visible depending on how much broken glass the rock created. We are set up with most of the major insurance companies and most of them will waive your deductible and pay us to repair your windshield.

The first thing you should do is find the impact point in your windshield. Examine the spot. If the spot has a cone, a circle deep in the glass or some little legs in the damaged area that makes it look like a star, you have a ding that needs repairing. The spot will need immediate attention or it could develop into a long crack that will stretch acrosss the entire windshield and require replacement of the windshield itself. Ding Aids Place a small piece of clear plastic tape- approximately  1/2 inch by 1/2 inch in size-over the impact point on the exterior of the windshield. Do not place tapethat will block or obstuct your vision while driving. The tape will not prevent the damage from spreading, but will keep dirt from getting into the cracks while you await repair. Repairing a ding can cost as little as $50.00, and most insurance companies will cover the cost regardless of your deductible. Ding Don'ts  Don't use your defroster, the rush of hot or cold air could cause the ding to crack. Don't wash your vehicle; the water will contaminate the damaged area and could cause the crack to grow. Don't touch the ding with your finger or any tool. You could cause the damage to spread or even contaminate it. Don't slam your door shut. The excess pressure combined with the impact of the  could cause the ding to continue to crack. Leave a window slightly open when shutting doors. Don't dig a surface scratch in the glass over the tip of the crack. This seldom prevents a crack from running and only causes additional surface damage on the windshield that can not be repaired. Keep Dings Cool Avoid parking in the hot, direct sun. Leave a window slightly open to reduce temperatures inside the vehicle-hot windshields are weaker and tend to crack easier.   Fill out the form below to get your windshield repaired or replaced First Name Last Name Address Line 1 City State Zip Code Daytime Phone () - Evening Phone () - E-mail Address Insurance Company Deductible Vehicle Year Model Repair or Replace
