When your car windshield breaks, you have two choices: auto glass repair or replacement. While some cracks and chips can be easily fixed without much trouble, others are a lost cause and you are better off just getting the whole sheet of glass replaced. To help you tell the difference, Ashlock Glass LLC in Clarkson, KY, has provided these helpful tips:

• Note The Location Of The Crack: While damage on the passenger side of the windshield or in the middle is worth getting fixed, chips and cracks that are directly in the driver’s line of sight will still be slightly foggy or may have discoloration upon repair. For the safety of you, your passengers, and other drivers, it will be better to get the glass replaced.
• Measure Size Of The Chip Or Crack: Though car window repair technicians can fix bigger cracks than they used to, anything that is bigger than a foot just isn’t worth it. You will spend less money getting the windshield replaced than you would by having it fixed.
• See If There Are Multiple Cracks: One small crack or chip can be quickly repaired for little cost, but having multiple cracks sealed can add up quickly. If there are more than two or three cracks on the glass, just get a new windshield and don’t worry about it.
