| In cases of minor breakage, a
windshield repair - instead of a full
replacement - can often restore the integrity of
the glass. The technician injects a resin-based
bonding agent into the damaged area. This stops
the windshield from cracking further and
restores optical clarity. Once a repair is
complete, the driver's view is no longer
impaired by the damage even though if you look
closely there will be some residual scarring
where the glass was filled with the bonding
agent.
Windshield repairs are less expensive and
take less time than full windshield
replacements. They are covered by most insurance
companies, most of which will waive the
deductible if the windshield can simply be
repaired instead of replaced.
Safety will never be compromised for cost and
convenience, so if there is any question whether
a windshield should be repaired or replaced,
both the insurance company and JN Phillips Auto
Glass will insist on replacement. However, when
a windshield can be repaired, you'll save money
and you can drive the car almost right away.
