• Windshield damage has not occurred near the edge of your windshield.

FAQ

Can you fix a chip in a windshield?

Our expert technicians can perform windshield chip repair services on windshield chips by filling the damage with specialized resin. However, this method can only be performed safely if the chip meets the below criteria:

• Location – For a windshield chip to be repaired safely, it must be located away from the edge of your windshield.
• Size – Windshield chip repair can be performed if the chip is not beyond a certain size. Typically, this means the size of a quarter, but in some instances, smaller chips are ineligible for repair.
• Depth – If your windshield chip has not penetrated too deeply into the glass, it may be repairable.

How long does it take to repair a broken windshield?

Typically, windshield repair itself takes less than an hour. However, if one of our trained technicians discovers that your windshield must be replaced, this can sometimes take longer. The average time to replace a windshield is usually less than two hours, as long as your windshield is in stock.

Even after your windshield has been repaired, there is also a curing time to consider. This curing time can take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours, depending on various conditions such as weather, humidity, and the size of the repair.

When should a windshield be replaced?

Your windshield should be replaced if it has sustained damage that matches the following criteria:

• Damage has occurred within the line of sight of the driver.
• Damage has occurred near the edge of your windshield.
• A crack has formed in your windshield that is longer than three inches.
• The chip on your windshield is larger than the size of a quarter.
• The chip is deep enough to reach the laminate of your windshield.

Because each chip or crack is unique, one of our trained technicians will assess the damage to your windshield and tell you whether it can be repaired or if your windshield must be replaced.

Does replacing a windshield devalue a car?

As long as windshield replacement services are performed professionally with high-quality glass, replacing a windshield should not devalue your vehicle. Our technicians use the vacuum repair method, which maintains the integrity of your glass and ensures that your new windshield matches the specifications of your OEM windshield, windshield replacement at Max Auto Glass should not devalue your vehicle.
