Windshield repair considerations
Whether a chip can be repaired often depends on its size, depth, and where it sits on the glass. Small damage away from the edges is commonly considered for repair.

Services
Three kinds of
auto glass work.
From a small chip to a full pane, auto glass work usually falls into one of three categories. Here is a plain-language overview of each.
02
Windshield replacement
When damage is too large or spreads across the glass, replacing the whole windshield is the usual path. The new glass is set into the frame with adhesive.
03
Side & rear auto glass
Side and rear windows may use tempered or laminated glass, depending on the vehicle and window. The glass type is part of replacement considerations.
Glass, explained
Two kinds of glass,
two different behaviors.
- Laminated Glass construction
- Layers of glass bonded around a plastic interlayer. This construction is commonly used for windshields. Repair considerations depend on the damage and glass.
- Tempered Glass construction
- Heat-treated glass used in many side and rear windows. It breaks differently from laminated glass. A broken tempered pane is generally replaced.
- Temperature Chips & cracks
- Swings in temperature can put stress on glass, and small chips may spread over time. Many drivers choose to look into damage sooner rather than later.
