Auto Glass Solutions knows how common it is for rocks or small debris to damage your Windshield.

Repairing your Windshield glass after experiencing any damage is vital to your safety.

We offer drive-thru rock chip repair services without an appointment. Our expert Windshield services are quick and efficient and will have you back on the road as soon as possible.
The Hazards of Having a Crack in Your Windshield
A simple crack or rock chip can wreak havoc on your visibility when driving. The most significant hazards of a crack in your Windshield include:
- Impaired vision and increased blind spots due to impurities in your vehicle’s Windshield
- Rocks and debris that hit your vehicle’s Windshield and cause further damage
- Existing cracks that are likely to grow due to the glass contracting and expanding during temperature fluctuations
- Further weakening the integrity of your Windshield by hitting potholes
- A lack of structural support from your damaged Windshield could cause the roof of your vehicle to cave in a roll-over accident
- Being ejected through your vehicle’s weakened Windshield during a high-impact collision
- The force of an airbag shattering an already damaged Windshield, causing the airbag to deploy through the broken glass rather than towards the passenger
