Windshield Chip Repair & Replacement Services
Small cracks and chips can turn into a major headache if left alone. Instead, let our expert team at Germain Toyota of Columbus inspect and repair your cracked or chipped windshield. In general, windshields can typically be repaired provided that the crack/chip is 6 inches or smaller, there are a total of three chips or less, and the damaged area is not directly in front of a sensor or camera. There are a variety of advantages that you’ll enjoy by having a minor issue with your windshield fixed instead of putting off the repair.
- Affordable – Usually, your insurance will cover the repair. Even if you pay out of pocket, the costs are significantly cheaper than a complete windshield replacement.
- Convenient – Windshield repairs can take as little as 30 minutes to complete, making it possible to get back on the road sooner than you may have thought.
