Professional Auto Glass Repair in Raleigh, NC

Auto glass is one of the most vulnerable exterior components of a car. While it is designed to handle a lot of strain, it can become damaged on impact from heavy or sharp objects. Large chips or cracks require a full glass replacement, but it is possible to just repair auto glass. At Transparency Auto Glass, we only recommend a full replacement if the glass has sustained substantial damage and a full replacement is needed.

When Do You Need Glass Repair?

Auto glass damage is always a cause of worry. Most car owners start calculating how much they will have to spend on a replacement as soon as they notice any kind of damage. We recommend glass repair instead of replacement in the circumstances mentioned below:

• Auto glass repair is a good solution if you can completely cover up the damage with a quarter.
• None of these cracks are close to the edges of the glass where it is most structurally vulnerable.
• None of these cracks hinder a driver’s line of sight.

It is best to call a trained professional for a thorough assessment of your glass integrity. Our experienced technicians will let you know if you need a full replacement or a standard glass repair.

Why Should You Get Auto Glass Repair?

It is never a good idea to delay auto glass repairs of any kind. This problem can escalate quickly, especially if you continue driving your car in adverse conditions. Here’s a look at why you need glass repair:

• Structural Integrity – Damaged glass fundamentally damages your car’s overall structural integrity. Windshields do not just protect you from road debris, but also reinforces a car’s structure. Any damage to these glass panels weakens your vehicle and can make it unsafe for driving.
• Vision Impaired Due to Cracks – Drivers must have clear visibility of the road in front of them for safe driving. Cracks on other auto glass windows can also distract a driver, which can lead to accidents.
• Damage to the Safety Layer – Typical windshields consist of three There are two layers of glass with a layer of vinyl resin in the middle. This sandwiched layer of resin ensures that your windshield does not break into thousands of razor-sharp pieces when damaged. Once this top safety layer is damaged, repairs are needed.
• It is Illegal to Drive – In most states it is illegal to drive with broken auto glass because it places every vehicle on the road with you at risk.

We always encourage you to get auto glass repairs done as quickly as possible. The process usually only takes around 30 minutes for each crack or chip. This repair is fairly straightforward but it does require a skilled technician. We first pull a vacuum on the damage to clean the site and to remove any debris. A technician then drills or picks a small hole at the impact point to properly access the damage, which is then pressure injected with resin. This resin is hardened under a UV light to form a strong, resilient surface again.
