Windshield Crack Repair

Way back when we went to drivers education, we learned to do something that pilots do every time they fly: a walk around. You are supposed to check the general condition of your car each and every time you drive. But we get complacent in this. Think about it. When was the last time you walked around your car to check the status of your wheels, make sure that your headlights and turn signals all work, and looked over your front and rear windshields to make sure that neither needs any windshield crack repair services done. You should get back into the habit of doing this because a cracked windshield can be easily repaired at a low cost. But if you wait, expansion and contraction of the glass due to our Southern California hot days and chilly desert nights will cause the crack or cracks to run and become more profound. Before you know it, you are dealing with a windshield that must be replaced instead of just fixed. This is because as the crack worsens, the integrity of the windshield gets compromised exponentially. Not only is this a safety concern with regards to how your vehicle handles impact energy in the event of a collision, but it becomes a visual distraction and even an obstruction. Your small, cheap repair suddenly costs you a couple of hundred dollars more because of a traffic ticket.
