Free Windshield Repair? Yes!

Most insurance companies will waive deductibles to repair a stone chip if you carry comprehensive coverage on your policy. Give us a call with your insurance card handy, and we'll contact your insurance company to find out if you qualify. A few minutes on the phone with us may save you the money you would have paid to repair or replace the windshield. Don't worry about your insurance company raising your rates because you filed a repair or windshield replacement claim. If you carry comprehensive coverage on your vehicle, they can NOT raise your rates for a glass claim only. You pay for it, you might as well use it!

The Windshield Repair Process

Windshield repair doesn't remove damage; it merely masks and strengthens it. Over time, prolonged exposure to weather and dirt will make the repair more visible, so it's best to repair the windshield as soon as you notice the damage.

Clean the Windshield

Remove all debris and foreign objects

Inject Resin

Resin is injected to fill the damaged area

Cure Under UV Light

We will place a UV light over the resin to activate the curing agents

Enjoy!

The resin will cure to a crystal-clear finish.

Insist on Honest Windshield Repairs

Will a windshield repair make the damaged area invisible?

No, it makes it less visible, but not invisible. Some completed repairs are more visible than others. The type of break and how long the break has been on your windshield are the biggest factors about what can be seen after a repair is completed. The longer you wait the more dirt and contaminants from the road contribute to how visible the completed repair looks. The purpose of the repair is to save the cost of replacing the windshield. Once filled properly, the damaged area of a repair will be stronger than before the damage. Some companies squirt resin into the impact area and never fill the cracks; this completely nullifies the purpose of the repair. If all the cracks aren't filled, it can still split, and you will need a replacement windshield. We always fill the repair area 100%. And we always give you a warranty on the repairs we complete for you. If you are unhappy or the repair or it does not pass inspection, we will give you full credit toward a replacement windshield.

Are long cracks on windshields repairable?

Yes, there is a process to fix longer cracks. However, any damage larger than a quarter will not pass Pennsylvania State Inspection. Companies that repair larger cracks will take your money knowing that your car will likely fail the inspection and return to them for the replacement - meaning you're spending more time and money that could have been avoided altogether by having the damage properly addressed the first time. Repairs completed in the "critical area" in front of the driver's view may not pass Pennsylvania State Inspection. It is best to check with your inspection station if they would pass a repair in the critical area. Capital Auto Glass has Certified Pennsylvania Inspection Mechanics at our shop. We would be happy to look at the repair area if you would like to stop in for our recommendation.
