Premier Auto Windshield Repair Service in Florida
When your windshield needs repair, the worst thing you can do is procrastinate. Like a tear in an article of clothing, a crack in your windshield will get larger over time. It could end up turning what might have been a simple repair into an unavoidable windshield replacement. Your windshield is nothing to fool around with. If it’s been damaged, it’s important to have that damage assessed by a qualified auto glass repair specialist right away.
If you are located in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota or Lakeland, FL or the surrounding area, our experienced windshield repair experts will come to you. They’ll examine the type, degree and location of the damage and give you their professional recommendation on whether repair is possible or whether replacement will be needed. We’ll do everything in our power to ensure your safety and meet federal and state motor vehicle windshield regulations.
Can Your Windshield Be Repaired?
Because your windshield is considered part of your vehicle’s safety equipment, the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act regulates the standard of the glass and other materials, as well as the processes, used in its manufacture, replacement and repair. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards must be met to ensure the proper performance of this safety device, which is designed to prevent ejection of passengers from the vehicle, aid in the proper deployment of the passenger airbag, and provide structural strength to the vehicle in the event of a rollover.
It’s crucial to make sure that any damage doesn’t compromise the windshield’s structural integrity and that it also does not interfere with driver visibility. Certain types and locations of damage, as well as greater extents of damage, would tend to preclude the possibility of repair, making it necessary to replace the windshield.
How to Determine if Repair Is an Option
Not all windshield damage requires replacement. Minor chips and cracks can often be repaired if they meet the following criteria:
- Size – Chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than six inches are generally repairable.
- Location – Damage away from the driver’s direct line of sight is safer to repair.
- Depth – If the crack only affects the outer glass layer and hasn’t penetrated the inner layer, a repair may be possible.
- Spread – If the damage isn’t growing or spidering, timely repair can prevent further spreading.
Types of Windshield Damage That Can Be Fixed
Our advanced resin repair process can restore a variety of minor windshield damages, including:
✔ Bullseye Chips – Circular impact marks from small debris.
✔ Star Breaks – Tiny cracks spreading outward from a central point.
✔ Half-Moon Chips – Partial circular damage.
✔ Combination Chips – A mix of chips and short cracks that haven’t spread.
✔ Short Cracks – Cracks less than six inches in length.
If left untreated, these minor damages can spread, leading to costlier replacements down the line.
Benefits of Repairing Over Replacing
Opting for windshield repair instead of replacement has several advantages:
✔ Cost-Effective – Repairs are much cheaper than full replacements.
✔ Time-Saving – Most repairs take less than 30 minutes.
✔ Insurance-Friendly – Many insurance companies cover the full cost of windshield repairs.
✔ Eco-Friendly – Reduces waste by preserving the original glass.
✔ Retains Original Seal – Factory-installed windshields have a perfect fit; repairing preserves this integrity.
Factors That Might Exclude Windshield Repair
In the cases where repair is advisable, our highly skilled Mr. Auto Glass repair experts will handle your windshield repair quickly and efficiently, yet with the skill and precision that are required to make that windshield look and work as good as new. However, the extent and location of damage will determine whether windshield repair would be advisable or whether the windshield needs replacing. The factors that indicate a need for windshield replacement include the following:
- Damage that’s located on the driver’s side of the windshield where the repair job could interfere with the driver’s visibility means repair is not an option.
- Damage located on the sides of the windshield where they typically spread more easily will usually rule out a repair.
- Larger cracks or chips that are more than 2 inches long may be unwise to attempt to repair.
- Damage that’s been rendered too challenging to repair by putting off repairs for too long will typically require replacement.
Other than the above exceptions, most windshield chips and cracks of reasonable size should be repairable. Our experts will be happy to take a look at the damage and give you our professional opinion on whether repair or replacement would be the better option.
