5 Myths about Auto Glass Repair

Regardless of the time that you spend in your car, it is always hard to find enough hours in the day to make sure you take it to a car shop. Whenever something happens to your vehicle, you always try to weigh your options if you need professional help or some DIY solution would do the job.

When it comes to auto glass dings and chips, people usually drive along with the damage for quite a few days without realizing the perils of it. Any damage to your car’s front and rear windshield, windows or side-view mirrors demands immediate attention, often within the same day. However, even though an auto glass crack can jeopardize your vision during driving and is a significant safety hazard, it is often pushed to the back-burner – no thought of repair or replacement whatsoever.

But as necessary as the repairs are, there are several myths surrounding auto glass repair. Five myths are listed below, along with the facts.

Myth #1 There Is No Need for Immediate Repair

A lot of people assume that a tiny crack, a single scratch, or a minor chip does not need immediate attention and it’s probably okay to drive around with them for days or even months without repairing. But when it comes to auto glass, the smallest damage can get aggravated quickly. Several factors, like bumpy roads, further impact, the rattling of the windshield, temperature fluctuations, and extreme weather conditions, can turn the tiny crack into irreparable damage.

Myth #2 Chips and Dings Don’t Call For Repair and Replacement

Nothing could be further from the truth. Because when it comes to chips, its treatment through repair or replacement can only be determined by the size, number, severity, depth, and location of the damage. Different chips can cause a multitude of distress to your windshield. Half-knowledge can be dangerous not only to your car and its passengers but also to others driving on the road.

So, if you come across any chips on your auto glass, make sure to consult professionals. Another essential thing to keep in mind is that only two minor chips can be repaired. Anything more than that would warrant for windshield replacement. 

Myth #3 Auto Glass Repair Would Take Crucial Hours out of Your Day
