Car Repair: Preventative Maintenance Advice

Let's take a look at why their story doesn't add up. Say you pay $200-$600 for the  windshield repair  kit. After deducting their cost to manufacture the kit, they will be left with a profit of a certain amount. Now, out of that profit they have to pay advertising expenses and employee's.

I remove as much oxygen as possible before injecting the resin to ensure the resin can travel to the ends of the cracks.

Windshield cracks are notorious for shooting through your line of sight. This is not only dangerous for everyone on the road, but many states, counties, and cities actually have laws against it. You could end up with a number of penalties or tickets that will only continue to add up until you get your windshield fixed.

Obviously everyone wants to know the age old question-whether to just fix the problem area or replace the entire windshield. That really depends on how soon you get it taken care of. Generally, chips that are 3 inches wide or less do not mandate an entire windshield replacement, and the problem can generally be brought under control with a simple fix. This is why it is so critical that you bring in the vehicle as soon as you notice a tiny chip. If a glass company tells you that you need to get it replaced, make sure you get at least a few other opinions before doing so.

For that reason, many companies will happily waive the deductible if the existing windshield can be repaired. So you may be able to have that chip or crack fixed without paying anything at all.

If you don't have the time to go to a windshield repair facility on your own, there are mobile windshield repair companies that will come to you. You can easily schedule an appointment with the mobile company to come to your home and fix your windshield on the weekends or come to your job and fix it during your lunch break.

I had the chance to meet Dr. Waitley several years ago and we discussed this great phenomenon. What a great guy. If you get a chance to read his stuff, do it, he is a real pro.
