Cheap Auto Glass Repair & Replacement

by Michael S.

The number one question you have to answer, in regards to dealing with a cracked windshield, is whether you need a complete replacement (which will cost you around $200) or just a repair (which is priced at around $40).

The chances of you needing a replacement dramatically increase if your windshield has cracks, which make for an uneven surface. You’re also more likely to need a replacement if you have cracks that are in the middle area of the windshield or at the perimeter edges of the windshield.

Some people, when they see some sort of crack or damage on their windshield, think the worst and assume that their windshield will be broken within a matter of minutes. Although we are conditioned (perhaps by the advertisements from auto glass services) to always start looking to repair the auto glass, slightly damaged auto glass can last for years without a repair (especially if the crack or bruise if really minor).

If you want to play it safe, however, you can call an auto glass service to inspect and perhaps repair the damage. Seeing that a repair, and even a replacement, is not that expensive, its probably worth calling your local auto glass repair service.

You shouldn’t worry too much if you realize that you need a replacement of the windshield. After all, glass is not nearly in the same price range as expensive auto parts. You can easily get a big discount on the cost of replacing your windshield if you go to a junkyard and find one there. Because glass has no color, you’re very likely to find a windshield that matches your car.

After you purchase the used windshield from the junkyard, it is best that you seek the services of an auto glass business as you may cut yourself if you try to install the windshield by yourself. It will cost about $40 to get the pre-owned windshield installed.

Wouldn’t your auto insurance policy pay for the cost to repair or replace a damaged windshield?

If the windshield was damaged as part of an accident in which the other person is found to be at fault, then their liability insurance would pay for the repairs. If, however, the cracks or damage came out of nowhere (a result of where and tear), you’re going to have to have comprehensive coverage if you expect your insurance to pay anything.

However, be sure to talk to your auto insurer as some insurance companies are more lenient than others.
