What Is The Difference Between Repairing and Replacing Auto Glass?

Chip's Auto Glass can quickly repair cracks shorter than 3 inches and rock chips smaller than the circumference of a quarter unless it is in your line of sight or on the edge of the windshield. Our experts can determine whether you need a repair or replacement.  When a repair is administered to damaged auto glass, the process includes filling the break with resin that cures, stopping any additional glass from cracking.

Replacing damaged auto glass includes removing the damaged glass and installing a new piece of glass. Our experts will consult with you once the damaged glass is reviewed. The rule of thumb is that any glass cracks longer than 3 inches or breakage larger than a quarter should be replaced.

You Shouldn’t Wait To Fix Damaged Auto Glass

Small cracks and chips should be repaired as soon as possible. Here are four reasons why you shouldn’t wait to fix your damaged auto glass.

1. Safety

Damaged glass or side mirrors can obstruct your ability to see other vehicles or objects, like a deer darting across the road. Protect yourself and your passengers by repairing or replacing any damaged glass or mirrors.

2. It’s The Law

In some states, it is illegal to drive a vehicle with a damaged windshield or non-operating side mirrors. Guard against compounding the issue with a ticket – get your damaged auto glass repaired or replaced today.

3. Your Insurance May Cover The Cost

Depending on your policy, your car insurance may cover some of the cost to fix cracks or scratches in your glass. Some policies may even cover the entire cost of your repair or replacement if the damage resulted from an accident. Tire Discounters Auto Glass works with all insurance providers and offers FREE ESTIMATES on service.

4. Waiting Can Make The Damage Worse

Repairing damaged auto glass quickly can prevent it from spreading. Allowing a crack or chip to spread can result in a more expensive repair down the road and may require a replacement. Repairing auto glass is generally less costly than installing a replacement.

Did you know, manufacturers recommend that ADAS be recalibrated if your windshield is replaced?

A very important factor to understand with windshields is that if your vehicle is not properly aligned to manufacturer specifications, your ADAS (safety systems) can be compromised. A replacement windshield that is slightly off, will significantly affect ADAS connected to your windshield.

We Calibrate ADAS

We have trained experts on all ADAS systems and will work with all makes and models in which recalibration is available.

The speed rating of a tire is based on U.S. Government standards for reaching and sustaining a specified speed. Typically, a tire with a higher speed rating results in better handling. Speed ratings apply only to the tire itself, and not to a particular vehicle. Putting a tire rated for a certain speed on a vehicle does not mean that the vehicle can be safely operated at the tire's rated speed.

Tire Load Range refers to the maximum weight a tire can safely support at a specified tire pressure. For Light Trucks and SUVs, ranges are usually expressed using SL (Standard Load) and XL (Extra Load or Reinforced). It can also be represented by letters (e.g., C, D, E), which indicate the tire's ply rating, which traditionally referred to the number of layers of material within the tire.

A higher load range indicates a tire designed to carry heavier loads. For example, a tire with a Load Range E can support more weight than one with a Load Range C. The correct load range is critical for vehicle safety and performance, especially for trucks, trailers, and commercial vehicles.

Tread depth is the distance between the top of the tread rubber to the bottom of the tire's deepest grooves.  In the United States, tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch.

A tire’s maximum load is the maximum amount of weight the tire is designed to hold. The tire’s load carrying capacity is directly related to the tire’s size and amount of inflation pressure that is actually used. Each load range has a assigned air pressure identified in pounds per square inch (psi) at which the tire's maximum load is rated.

A tire’s maximum inflation pressure (PSI) is the highest "cold" inflation pressure that the tire is designed to contain. When measuring a tire’s max PSI, it is important the tire is "cold," because warmer temperatures can cause the tire pressure to temporarily increase resulting with inaccurate readings. This measurement should only be used when called for on the vehicle’s tire placard or in the vehicle’s owners manual.

The mileage warranty of a tire indicates the number of miles that a tire is estimated to last. If a tire fails to last for the number of miles indicated by the warranty, the customer will be given credit from the tire manufacturer toward a new tire based on how many miles short of the estimate the tire fell. Some restrictions apply. 

The total width of the tire, including any raised features on the sidewall. 

This is how many layers of rubber and other materials are in the tire.  

The represents the smallest and widest size wheels that are recommended by the tire manufacturer for the tire to be mounted on. 

 

 

The measurement, in inches, from rim flange to the other rim flange. 

The maximum width of a wheel that a tire can be put onto. 

The minimum width of a wheel that a tire can be put onto.  

A tire's section width (also called "cross section width") is the measurement of the tire's width from its inner sidewall to its outer sidewall (excluding any protective ribs, decorations or raised letters) at the widest point. 

What makes up a tire; each ply, the sidewall, the tread, and bead.  

This number will tell you how well the tire will disperse heat buildup. 

This is how much weight a tire is rated to hold.
