A crack or chip in your car’s windshield may seem like a small problem, but if ignored, it can escalate to something far worse. To help you decide whether you need a windshield repair or replacement, here are some tips to consider.

One of the first things to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace your windshield is the size of the damage. If the chip or crack is less than six inches in length, a repair should suffice. However, if the damage is more significant than that, a replacement is most likely necessary.

Another factor to consider when determining if you need a windshield repair or replacement is the location of the damage. If the crack is in the driver's line of sight, it’s best to replace the windshield. A repair may obscure the driver's vision, putting them at risk. On the other hand, if the damage is on the side or near the edges, a repair should suffice.

If your windshield has served you for a long time, a replacement may be necessary. Over time, the windshield’s structural integrity may weaken, increasing the risk of shattering during a collision. If your windshield is older than ten years, it may be time to consider a replacement.

The final way to determine if your windshield needs a repair or replacement is by consulting with a professional. A certified technician can evaluate the damage and offer the best solution. The technicians at Hilaire and Speer Auto's can help arrange a windshield repair or replacement in Bomaderry
