If your car’s windshield has sustained damage, it's important to have it checked by an auto professional to see whether it warrants just a glass repair or a total window replacement. TJ's Auto Glass in La Crescent, MN offers friendly and professional service for all your windshield crack repair needs. 

Not all cracks and chips are the same, which is why TJ’s Auto Glass always suggests getting a professional opinion regarding windshield crack repair or replacement. But their experts offer some guidelines for determining whether your car needs glass repair or replacement.

Small chips and cracks can usually be repaired fairly quickly and easily. With ever-improving technology, the experts at TJ’s Auto Glass can repair cracks up to one inch in length. But that’s only the case if your car windshield has a single crack. If multiple cracks and chips are sustained, then the overall integrity of the window has been compromised, and it might be best to get a full window replacement

The location of the crack or chip on your windshield will also help determine whether it needs to be replaced. If there is a crack at the edge of the window, the crack could grow and loosen the window in its frame, causing a dangerous situation for the driver and passengers. If there appears to be damage to each of the two glass layers of the windshield, TJ’s Auto Glass suggests window replacement; the same is true if the crack is sustained on the inside of the window rather than the outside.
