Quick answer
Should I repair or replace a cracked windshield?
Small chips can often be repaired. Longer cracks, edge damage, or damage in the driver's line of sight usually require replacement.

Repairs are usually possible for minor chips and short cracks that have not spread across the glass or reached the outer edge.
Replacement is typically recommended when the crack is large, in a critical visibility area, or the glass has multiple impact points.
Driving with severe windshield damage can reduce structural safety and visibility. If you are unsure, we can inspect and recommend the safest option.
