Why choose a professional windshield repair?

Vehicle accidents can happen for a number of reasons, from distracted driving to faulty vehicles or something as small as a crack in the windshield. Auto Glass repair or replacement by Crackmasters SW in Edmonton, Alberta, is reminding drivers to take care of chips and windshield cracks before they become a safety issue. 

For automobiles that are on the road, chip and rock damage is of particular concern.  Take care of the little things before they get bigger and a small distraction becomes an expensive replacement.  A crack may not hold up in a rollover or if the airbag deploys in a collision. 

No matter how many kilometers you traveled, through, windshield damage will likely occur. In keeping with its mission to keep drivers safe, Crackmasters SW wants drivers to be aware of the dangers of at-home or DIY auto glass repair kits.  Our repair resins will restore your windshield not simply fill a crack.  Our resins will stop a crack from growing and help you delay the replacement.  Eventually a windshield will  getting pitted or have damage that cannot be repaired.  Damage in the driver’s sight line, over 18 inches or in contact with two edges will require a replacement.  Check with us – If we cannot repair your windshield then, nobody can.  a windshield chip over the size of a loonie or that damages the insde layer also cannot be repaired, sorry!

At-home repair kits may provide step-by-step instructions on how to repair a chip or crack, they do not provide the trained hand and experience that true auto glass experts have. From low quality resin to improper equipment, combined with the inexperience of users, at-home repair kits are full of flaws and potential risks.  They may fill the chip but they will not restore  the windshields strength.

Rather than spending money on a product that usually doesn’t work and only creates larger problems in the long run, why not spend a little more on a professional service, one that you know will get the job done right. Once a windshield crack has be filled by over the counter resins, it cannot be fixed or restored properly.
