When repairing or replacing a windshield, you will want to trust the best in the industry. Whether you need a windshield replacement or windshield repair depends on the size of the damage. One way to determine this is by looking at the size of the damage. If it is smaller than 6 inches, then a repair will do fine. However, if it is larger, then you may be required to do a replacement. If a windshield has sustained too much damage, it will have to be professionally installed.

There are a variety of factors that can cause cracks in your windshield:
Gravel – Stray pebbles, asphalt, or debris can strike your windshield and cause a crack. While sometimes unavoidable, you may lower your chances of this happening if you keep a safe following distance. Not driving on unpaved roads can also prevent this from happening. There may be other sources of debris that happen during storms, such as from trees. Also, hail can crack the windshield, so be sure to check your car’s glass.
Poor Glass Construction – Inferior glass will be more likely to break and crack. Replacing a windshield with higher-quality glass may improve visibility and save you money in the long term.
Temperature Changes – Extreme or sudden fluctuations from hot to cold may stress the windshield and can cause cracks. By slowly warming up your defroster, you may be able to avoid this, as well as parking in the shade rather than direct sunlight. With sunlight, it heats the outer edge of the auto glass. This makes it expand at a quicker rate than the center. Because of this, it may crack.
Pressure Fluctuations – Cracks may also happen due to changes in pressure, such as those that happen when traveling fast. If any damage to the windshield occurs while you are driving, then pull over or reduce speed.
There are many reasons to repair a broken windshield. The most obvious reason is that it reduces visibility. You also may want to fix it for cosmetic reasons, so your car looks its best.
