Auto Glass Repair Process

Advanced repair techniques that restore your windshield's integrity and clarity, saving you money compared to full replacement.

The Benefits of Repair

Not every windshield damage requires full replacement. Our professional repair services offer significant advantages.

💰

Cost Savings

⏱️

Time Efficient

Most repairs are completed in 30 minutes or less. You wait in your car and drive away the same day.

♻️

Environmentally Friendly

Repair keeps the original glass out of the landfill and reduces manufacturing waste and energy consumption.

Is My Damage Repairable?

✓ Types of Damage We Can Repair

  • Small chips (up to 1 inch diameter)
  • Bullseye patterns (circular impact with dark center)
  • Star breaks (radial cracks from impact point)
  • Combination breaks (multiple patterns together)
  • Small cracks (up to 6-12 inches, depending on location)

✗ When Replacement Is Required

  • Large cracks (over 12-14 inches)
  • Damage in driver zone (within 12 inches of driver's edge)

  • Penetrated glass (hole completely through the glass)
  • Delaminated layers (outer and inner glass separated)

The Repair Process

Our certified technicians use industry-leading methods to restore your windshield.

1. Initial Assessment

We inspect the damage to determine if repair is suitable. We assess the size, location, and type of damage to recommend the best solution for your situation.

2. Surface Preparation

The damaged area is cleaned thoroughly. Any loose glass fragments or debris are removed to ensure proper adhesion of the repair resin.

3. Bridge Setup

A specialized repair bridge is positioned over the damage. This device holds the injector and applies controlled pressure during the repair process.

4. Vacuum & Pressure Cycle

Air is evacuated from the damaged area using vacuum pressure. This removes air from the cracks and creates space for the resin to penetrate fully.

5. Resin Injection

Specially formulated repair resin is injected into the damaged area under pressure. The resin flows into all cracks and voids, bonding with the glass.

6. Curing

The resin is cured using UV light or ambient exposure. This hardens the resin and creates a strong, transparent bond that restores structural integrity.

7. Finishing

Any excess resin is carefully removed. The surface is polished to restore optical clarity and ensure a smooth finish.
