Our windscreen chip repair process
Our repair process restores the integrity of your windshield quickly and efficiently. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of our meticulous chip repair approach:
-
Assessment — We begin by thoroughly assessing the damage to determine if the chip is suitable for repair.
-
Cleaning — We clean the damaged area to remove any debris or dirt that could affect the repair process.
-
Drilling — If necessary, a small drill opens up the chip, ensuring the resin can penetrate fully.
-
Injecting resin — High-quality resin is injected into the chip. This resin matches the optical properties of your windshield.
-
Curing — We use a UV light to cure and harden the resin, bonding it securely to the glass.
-
Polishing — The final step involves polishing the repaired area to ensure a smooth finish and clear visibility.
Cost of service
At Excellent Auto Glass, we strive to offer competitive and transparent pricing. In your initial consult, we’ll inspect the damage and provide you with an exact quote for the chip repair.
Dangers of DIY windscreen chip repairs
While DIY repair kits are widely available, fixing a chipped windshield on your own can be risky. A weak or improper windscreen chip repair can fail during critical moments, putting you and your passengers at risk. Here are some of the dangers associated with DIY repairs:
-
Improper sealing — Achieving a proper seal without professional tools and expertise is challenging, leading to further cracking and compromised safety.
-
Low-quality resin — DIY kits often contain lower-quality resin that may not bond well with the glass, resulting in ineffective repairs.
-
Lack of expertise — Professional technicians have the training to assess the damage accurately and apply the correct repair techniques. DIY attempts can overlook underlying issues, leading to more significant problems.
