KNOW YOUR OPTIONS
Can Your Windshield Be Repaired?
A repair may be possible when damage is minor and the windshield remains structurally sound.
Certain star-shaped chips
Some short, non-spreading cracks
Damage outside critical viewing and sensor areas
Windshield Replacement
Some damage is too extensive for a safe or effective repair. A full replacement may be necessary when:
Cracks are large or continue spreading
Damage reaches the edge of the windshield
Visibility is significantly affected
Final repair eligibility depends on the vehicle, glass condition, damage location, and technician assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Windshield Repair FAQ
Can a chipped windshield be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Small chips and certain minor cracks may be repairable, depending on their size, location, and severity. A technician must inspect the damage to determine whether repair is appropriate.
How long does windshield chip repair take?
Many minor chip repairs can be completed relatively quickly, but the time required depends on the damage, repair process, and appointment availability. Your Glassman location can provide a more specific estimate.
Will a windshield chip disappear completely after repair?
Not necessarily. Professional repair can improve the appearance of damaged glass and help limit further cracking, but a small mark or blemish may remain.
Can I keep driving with a small windshield chip?
A small chip may not immediately affect your ability to drive, but windshield damage can worsen. It's best to have it assessed promptly, particularly if the damage interferes with visibility.
Does insurance pay for windshield repair?
Some comprehensive auto insurance policies cover qualifying windshield repairs. Coverage, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs vary by policy and insurer.
Do you offer mobile windshield repair?
Contact your preferred Glassman location to ask about available service options and scheduling.
When should I replace my windshield instead of repairing it?
Replacement may be necessary for extensive cracking, edge damage, compromised visibility, or damage that cannot be safely repaired. Our team can help determine the appropriate next step.
