It's the same thing with a windshield. Why would anyone want to repair a windshield which is the only thing that protects you from oncoming objects to your face? Having a solid windshield in your car rather than a repaired one is probably safer and to me makes more sense.

If you do decide that automobile windshield chip repair is your best bet, you have a few choices. First of all, make sure you check to see if your insurance covers it. In a lot of instances it does. The problem is that many policies have a deductible that is higher than the cost of the replacement or repair job. If that is the case, you will have to pay for it yourself.

Now you have 3 options. You can pay out of pocket, you can have your insurance company cover the cost, or you can do the repair yourself. The cost out of pocket will vary from $30-$60, depending on the company you chose. Filing with insurance is easy because it is no cost to you, and the auto glass repair company deals with the paperwork. You can also attempt the repair yourself, but if you do not feel comfortable, i would suggest calling a professional. There is a good step by step windshield repair Instructable available, as well as other information online.

Still no big deal? In some states it's illegal to drive with a crack in the windshield that is in the driver's line of sight. In other states it's illegal to drive with a cracked windshield at all. I'd call that a big deal.

Take the time to ask questions from the auto glass worker who will be performing the work. Or, ask management if the worker is unavailable. You have the right to know the quality of the auto glass being used. Understand any charges you need to pay as well as what the insurance company allows for windshield replacement. Being well informed saves you money even when it comes to windshields.
