Windshield Replacement
When the damage to your windshield is beyond repair, it’s time to get it replaced. The windshield is pivotal to the structural integrity of your car. It plays a huge role in supporting your roof, especially in a roll over collision. The windshield also ensures that your airbags deploy properly. A poorly installed windshield can be a significant hazard to you and your family. That’s why, here at the Windshield Doctor, we take the time to do it right way, every single time. READ MORE
We do not use cheap glass at the Windshield Doctor. We believe that aftermarket glass can be the right choice for most installations, but we know which brands to avoid. If we think that OEM (original engineering manufacturer) is the only way to go, then you will be sure to know. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions about the products that we are using.
Rock Chip Repair
Your windshield is two panes of glass, bonded by a sheet of laminate. When a rock or other object damages your windshield, some of the glass will disintegrate and separate from the laminate. This results in an area of empty space between the laminate and the surface of the glass. Energy can travel through this empty space and cause the rock chip to turn into a long crack. To repair your windshield, we inject this empty space with an acid based resin. Once the damage is completely filled, we cure the resin with UV light. This process will prevent energy from traveling through the empty space. READ MORE
Windshield repair is a great solution when conditions are right. The damage, in general, must not be bigger than the size of a quarter. When rock chips are bigger than this, they usually will not fill completely. If the rock chip is not filled completely, then energy can travel through the unfilled space and turn rock chips into long cracks.
The repair process does not cause the damage to disappear. The rock chip will certainly be less visible. And I will confidently say that no one does better looking repairs than the Windshield Doctor.
ADAS Calibration
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. This all-encompassing term refers to the safety features found in most cars manufactured in the last few years. These features include Lane Departure Warning System, Forward Collision Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, as well as many others. READ MORE
Some of these systems are controlled by forward facing cameras found near the rear view mirror. When a windshield is replaced, the camera must be taken off the old windshield and reattached to the new one. Because the camera is moved, it must be recalibrated to ensure that the safety features function correctly.
When your windshield damage is beyond repair, we’ve got you covered.
