Replacement Windshield

How Do I Know if I Need a Windshield Replacement?

If your glass has been damaged, you might be wondering whether a car windshield replacement is necessary, or if a repair will suffice.

If you’d like, our experienced technicians would love to assess your windshield to recommend whether a repair or a full replacement or repair is the right choice. Unlike some mechanics, we won’t try and sell you something you don’t need

  • Size of the Damage

    Cracks larger than a toonie or multiple cracks typically require a full vehicle windshield replacement.

  • Location of the Crack

    If the damage obstructs the driver’s view, a replacement is recommended for safety reasons.

  • Spreading Cracks

    Cracks that are growing indicate structural weakness, making a change of your car windshield the best option.

  • Previous Repairs

    If your windshield has been repaired multiple times before and gets damaged again, it may be better to opt for a full auto windshield replacement for both safety & aesthetic reasons.

Why You Shouldn’t Delay a Windshield Replacement

Postponing your windshield replacement can lead to more serious problems:

  • Safety: Did you know that your windshield is a crucial safety feature? It makes up a significant portion of the structural integrity of your roof, acts as part of the airbag deployment process, prevents objects from breaking through and hitting you, and much more.
  • Legal Risks: Driving with a damaged windshield is illegal in Alberta, which could result in fines. While enforcement is often very loose, you may face a ticket if it’s especially bad or if the officer feels it’s justified.

Fluctuating temperatures and rock-riddled roads often lead to windshield damage. A damaged windshield compromises the safety of your vehicle by reducing visibility, increasing the chance that an object will pierce through the glass while driving at speed, and weakening the structure of your car during collisions or rollovers.
