Some windshields may be able to be repaired, and not need to be replaced. This is a significant cost savings, and your insurance company may pay for it 100%.  Only windshield glass can be repaired because it is made of laminated glass, but not all windshield damage can be repaired.  Whether a chip can be repaired depends on its location and size.  If it can be repaired, a C-Auto Glass technician can make the repair using specialized equipment and materials at your home, work or at C-Auto Glass’ Parma or Cleveland repair facilities. 

Replacing a windshield is not something to be casual about.  A windshield is a major competent of a vehicle’s structural integrity and a key safety device.  Improperly installed windshields compromise the safety of a vehicle’s occupants, particularly in the case of a roll over or any other accident that causes the airbags to deploy.  In these circumstances, the windshield is designed to keep the occupants in the vehicle.  The windshield also plays a role in advanced driver safety systems (“ADAS”), housing sensors and cameras that are required for ADAS features such as lane departure to work properly.
