I just had a cracked windshield fixed last week, it is AWESOME !.... The new windshield was going to cost me around 500 bucks, but I stopped by and had a repair guy do it for 50 bucks and I cant even see it anymore. It was a good repair job and he saved me 450 bucks, Believe me, I need to save money today too, I lost my job 2 months ago and money is TIGHT !

I am always amazed at the people who only replace windshields and think because I can perform long crack repairs that I am only a repair shop. I have been in the Auto Glass replacement and repair business for over 30 years and both have there place. Windshield repair is a good alternative to replacement on many damages and the industry has been around since 1972. We also offer a lifetime warranty! Most insurance companies pay the cost of preventive repair. They would not pay if it was a scam.

It depends sometimes if the crack is a single crack coming from the edge and you can reach it with a drill to put a stop at the tip. Then if you can inject some of the crack from the tip to the edge with resin you usually can save the windshield.. You would not need to fill all of the crack to stop it and save the windshield. We have also had good success with repairing cracks that start from the mirror bracket.

If you have comprehensive insurance the repair is usually free because your insurance company pays for preventive repair by waiving your deductible, however you need to have the repair done within 3 months of the crack starting because of the dirt and contamination in the crack. With chip repair time does not matter but crack repairs are time sensitive.If the crack is under 3 months old the charge for a cash job is usually between $70.00 and $90.00

Dear Ian, Windshield Repair is free in the UK also. You will have a harder time finding someone to repair a crack over 6 inches unless they have my technology, but I took the following repair information off a major glass shop in the UK. Safelite® LONDON "Repairing a windshield is also a good value. If you have comprehensive coverage, and if you choose to repair your windshield rather than replace it, most insurance companies will waive your deductible, leaving no cost for you."

Tim, I have to say "that's impressive ". Being in the autoglass replacement Industry for 30 years and an NGA Master Autoglass Technician, I can honestly say I've never seen that done before. Probably because the industry and most reputable busineses and insurance companies don't recommend such large repairs. You should let these guys know that the two substrates, glass and the Ultraviolet Cured Polymer Resin will separate, over a short period of time and the crack will reappear, leaving them with the same problem that they came to you with. Just because you can't see it now, doesn't mean that it's safe or even repaired. This is one of the reasons to replace as opposed to putting a "band-aid "on it.

@DanOfTheWild This is not what dentists use for fillings and what is used to repair small planned and uniform holes in teeth that will not be exposed for long periods of time should not be used to repair 21 inch cracks in glass. You are ignorant to dentistry and glass science. About 14 inches and that windshield is compromised. Even the best resin and techniques and you will still see yellowing and shrinking in a 3-4 years if not kept in cover most of that time. These are never lifetime solutions. They are to get you on your way and save you some money for now. I understand people use this as their livelihoods and plenty of people do shoddy work to make a quick buck but these guys are doing it wrong.

Yes cracks that are cracked on the inside pane of glass can be repaired, if you can reach the end of the crack to dill it and if you can get the Crack Eraser tool positioned to inject resin into the crack. Sometimes the dash is in the way and it is difficult to reach the crack to perform a repair.

the crack is very tight at the tip and needs a real thin resin as it goes to the Edge gets wider a gap like about 12,000 wife or So. So thin resin will not Bond where there's a Gap is like trying to use super glue or you need epoxy.

Can't gaurente the crack wont continue to run off. loads of bumps, potholes, divites and even no road at all in my country lol. NZ Edit: Wouldn't it be more profitable for you to just replace windscreens/windshields instead of crackrepairs? unless you charge more then 140+ for crackrepair.

This can be a real cost saver, windshields can be very expensive to replace and if people have gone to $500 deductible to save money they will be coughing up the whole $500 for most cars. Unless you can find a small shop to do a used windshield. Years ago my insurance company offered me a deal. Back then windshield repair cost $50.00. If I paid the $50 in an attempt to save the windshield they would wave my deductible if the windshield cracked. Mine had a large multi pointed chip in it about the size of dime. The repair held for ten years. I can't comment on how well a large crack like this will hold up but I know that resins you apply with a dual compound mixture are VERY strong. I recommend you contact your insurance agent before you pay for a repair like this. Get them on board and they might make an offer like mine did.

(I'll also have to have something done because new windscreens are hard to source.) It may not be perfect, but it was pretty amazing how much of an improvement it made. I didn't notice anything until you mentioned the roof of the McDonald's. Thanks for the honesty! Are there any stores in Wisconsin? I'd drive because it looks like it can be done while you wait!

@Tim Evans, Where do you exactly tap using a needle to create a bull’s eye: past the Dremel drilled point and exactly opposite where the crack stops? I tend to think the little drilling at 2/16th of an inch in front of the crack end suffices to serve the purpose of stopping the crack from propagating, and rather fear the tapping would create multi-directional crack seeds (but apparently that’s not the case as you’ve successfully completed thousands of repairs that held up but I’m trying to understand why my theory isn’t valid). The drilling with the Dremel creates a tiny crater that catches and ends the crack from proceeding further. So, I’d like to learn of your comments on my theories.

About 2/16th. You need to be just ahead of the crack so when you tap the bulls-eye the tip of the crack connects to the bulls-eye and not past it,

Any state having oil tankers and other related traffic would be great for you, especially if your work holds up as well as seems to. I had replaced a windshield a few years ago, and in less than a month I had a piece of gravel hit the windshield.

It's easy to make that mistake because the 2/16 mark is hidden behind the 1/8 mark on the ruler.

Good question Goofy Goof it depends on the length of the crack when we first invented the technology we said 18 inches now we have improved on it to where we can do 24 inches or longer. If the crack is only a couple of weeks old we can perform the repair. If the crack is over a month or two old then it will have dirt in it and we usually would not do the repair. We prefer to repair cracks less than 3 months old after that we recommend replacement.

And you just duped another. The windshield is broken and will NEVER be as strong as the original. Of course your deceptive sign advertising your business is smoke and mirrors also. Another sham by the insurance company to not pay for repair for the customers. I hope you don't cost someone their life when the air-bag deploys.

Most repairs are free the insurance companies wave the deductible for preventive repair so most everyone can take advantage of long crack repair.

We do do longer crack such as one going all the way across the windshield, However it will have a larger gap when the crack goes off the edge on both sides. If the crack is over a week old or so I do not think a repair is the best option.

Long crack repair has been proven to be safe after repair and will pass the same standards of a new windshield. There have been law suits on unsafe windshield replacements but never for a windshield repair. Windshields are laminated glass with a plastic layer in the middle and the inside pane of glass is not broken. The crack is on the outside pane so I understand you comment Firedragon52 but is is totally unfounded and just your opinion. The cost is $60.00 to $70.00 usually free to the customer because the Insurance companies pay the total cost of repair which they would not do if long crack repair was unsafe as you claim.

@BASSANDCARGUY219 I agree. I thought there would be a tube of resin or something for maybe 40 bucks. No, this is awesome. Instead of getting my whole windshield replaced, I could potentially do more damage, scratch the paint of my car, AND still be able to see where my crack was.

Most repairs are free because they are covered by your insurance. Insurance companies waive your deductible for preventive repairs. If you do not have comprehensive insurance then $70 to $80.
