Q: How long does windshield repair typically take?
A: Small crack or chip repairs can often be done in 30 minutes to an hour.

Q: Will my insurance cover windshield repair?

Q: Is it safe to drive with a small crack or chip in my windshield?
A: While you may be able to drive with minor damage, it's not safe and could be illegal in some cases. It's best to have the damage repaired as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading.

Q: Will the repair be completely invisible after it's done?
