What type of glass do we install?

We install OEM-equivalent auto glass. This means that it is manufactured with the same process controls, tooling and quality inspections as the piece of glass that was installed at the time your vehicle was made. The glass we install meets all federal, industry and safety standards.

I’m not sure if my chip or crack can be repaired – how can I tell?

• If a crack is longer than 3 inches it cannot be repaired as it will not hold.
• If a crack runs edge to edge (any edge) it cannot be repaired.
• If the crack or chip is in the line of driver’s sight when looking directly out the windshield (within an area that is 5 inches high x 8 inches wide) it cannot be repaired per state law.

Will the crack or chip still be visible once it is repaired?

A chip or crack repair is used mainly to prevent further damages to your glass and to restore the vehicle’s structural integrity. In many cases, the repair will not be visible. However, there is a possibility that slight imperfections may still be seen.
