Auto Glass Repair verses Windshield Replacement
You smash your windshield completely in an accident - cost of replacement, $500.00. Your windshield suffers a minor rock chip, which soon develops into a major crack - cost of windshield replacement, $500.00 again. So irrespective of the reason behind windshield replacement, the cost remains the same. But, what if you could actually utilize an auto glass repair technique, which will save you this cost? So, you need not opt for windshield replacement unless you actually have shattered your glass completely.
Auto glass repair offered from Dings Plus Windshield Chip Repair is definitely a much better option than windshield replacement, especially when one is looking at only minor chip(s) on the windshield. The advantages of auto glass repair over windshield replacement are several and it is these benefits that make auto glass repair such a favored option.
- Cost effective – Our auto glass repair will cost you $ 60 for the first repair while each additional auto glass repair on the same windshield costs $30. This is a tremendous saving as compared to changing the windshield completely, which is a very high cost and does not come with any guarantees. So auto glass repair is a much more affordable option.
- Time savings – Since we are happy to come to your doorstep with our auto glass repair technique, you will not need to waste your time in running to an windshield replacement shop and leaving your car there for a couple days for the windshield replacement. Our auto glass repair thus saves you time too.
- Original windshield – When you opt for the auto glass repair option you have the advantage of retaining the original factory windshield seal on your vehicle, which translates to no air or water leaks.
- Eco friendly – Windshield chip repair is the environmentally-friendly choice. Since windshields cannot be recycled, replacing them is not an ecologically viable option. On the other hand auto glass repair saves our nation’s landfills, prevents the replacement of the windshield, and therefore is highly advantageous.
- Extras – Auto glass repair allows you several advantages like optical clarity, prevention of wear and tear of wipers, added strength to the windshield and therefore increased safety. Many times, despite opting for a windshield replacement, consumers find that due to shoddy workmanship, they either develop cracks on the windshield or suffer water leaks and other such problems. However all this can be easily avoided when choosing to repair your windshield rather than replacing it.
