Does My Windshield Need To Be Replaced?

Your windshield is one of the most important parts of your car.  It provides critical structural support for your vehicle, always supporting the roof of the car and often also supporting the passenger side airbag. Your windshield also provides the UV protection and crucial visibility that you need to drive safely.  Windshields are also a key element of keeping occupants safe in the event of an accident.  They are made of two strong layers of laminated automotive glass, designed with the strength to keep you inside the vehicle should there be a crash. Your car’s windshield takes a real beating with your day to day driving, shielding you from dirt, rocks, rain, wind and other damaging road debris.

There are instances in which your windshield can sustain damage while you are driving. While the windshield chip, crack or ding may look small and insignificant, it is imperative that you have it checked out and repaired by an expert technician. The success of the repair is often directly linked to the experience and knowledge of the repair technician so you want to choose this person/shop wisely.

Repair or Replace?

Most cracks, dings or chips in your windshield can be repaired safely, without having to replace your entire windshield.  The chances of a successful repair are significantly increased if you hire an experienced AGRSS certified technician, so that replacing your entire windshield is truly a last resort.

Team ACME is one of the only AGRSS certified shops in the Las Vegas area, adhering to the highest possible safety standards.  Our team of knowledgeable technicians can carefully diagnose the damage to your windshield and will use only the highest quality repair tools on your vehicle.  We can do this in our Henderson shop, or one of our technicians can come directly to you.It is important to note that there is one instance in which our technicians will recommend a windshield replacement.  When the crack or chip is located in the driver’s critical sight area, even the best repair can leave a distracting imperfection.  In this case, a replacement is necessary to maintain safety.

Types of Cracks, Chips or Dings

Our experienced technicians will quickly and accurately diagnose the damage to your windshield. Most cracks fall into four main categories:  bullseye, half moon, star and combination breaks.  We will assess the size of the break and determine the probability of a successful repair.  We will communicate with you throughout this process so that you can make an informed decision about the repair.
