WE DO NOT REPLACE WINDSHIELDS. WE REPAIR THEM.
1) The damaged area is cleared of broken glass and debris from the impact point.
2) An injector is applied over the impact point which draws a vacuum, removing any air from the break.
3) A professional glass resin is injected into the break via the impact point, called the pressure cycle. Alternating vacuum and pressure cycles are performed until all the air is removed and the resin has penetrated all voids of the break.
4) The resin is cured using an ultraviolet light. This process ensures the integrity of the repair.

- Clean, dry breaks make for easier repairs.
- Cover the break right away to avoid contaminants that can hamper the repair.
- Place a small piece of clear tape (approximately 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch in size) over the impact point on the exterior of the windshield. Do not place tape that will block or obstruct your vision while driving. The tape will not prevent the damage from spreading, but will keep dirt from getting into the cracks while you await repair.
- Contact us to repair the damage immediately to keep it from spreading.
- Repairs cannot be performed outside in inclement weather. Keeping the vehicle inside overnight prior to repairing is optimal.
- Don't use your defroster. The rush of hot or cold air could cause the crack to expand quickly.
- Don't wash your vehicle. The water will contaminate the damaged area and could cause the crack to grow.
- Don't touch the crack with your finger or tool. You could cause the damage to spread or even contaminate it.
- Don't slam your doors. The excess pressure combined with the impact could cause the crack to grow. Leave a window slightly open when shutting doors.
- Don't dig a surface scratch in the glass over the tip of the crack. This seldom prevents a crack from running and only causes additional surface damage on the windshield that cannot be repaired.
- Don't use fingernail polish or super glue to fill the damaged area! The microscopic passages within the break will become clogged and impossible to repair properly.
- Avoid parking in the hot, direct sun. Leave a window slightly open to reduce heat inside the vehicle. Hot windshields are weaker and tend to crack more easily.
