Windshield Repair vs. Replacement
Fixing rock chips early preserves your vehicle's original factory seal, saves hundreds of dollars, and is often 100% covered with zero deductible under Arizona comprehensive insurance policies.
Why Repair Is Always Preferred First
Windshield repair is always preferred and recommended if the damaged area is not in the direct line of sight for the driver, and if the impact is smaller than the size of a dollar bill.
Repairing the windshield is environmentally conscious and allows your original factory urethane seal to remain 100% intact. Windshield repair is a critical preventative measure: although the resin used in the procedure is optical-grade clear, the affected fissure will become structurally stabilized, stopping cracks from traveling across your windshield.
In Phoenix and across the Sonoran Desert, temperatures inside parked vehicles often exceed 140°F. When you enter and blast the air conditioning, the rapid temperature differential creates violent expansion and contraction stress. A dime-sized rock chip can suddenly fracture into a 2-foot spider crack across the glass.
How Arizona Glass Company Repairs Rock Chips
Burton Auto Glass / Arizona Glass Company utilizes a proprietary high-tensile resin that cures under targeted ultraviolet (UV) light. Our certified technician vacuums air out of the chip micro-cavities, pressure-injects the clear bonding polymer, and illuminates it with a calibrated UV wavelength until fully solidified.
This restores the structural integrity of your windshield glass layers and is guaranteed for the lifetime of your vehicle not to spread.
Will My Insurance Company Pay For The Repair?
Most insurance companies in Arizona not only cover the cost of a windshield rock chip repair, they usually waive your deductible entirely. This practice saves you money, saves the insurer money, and keeps your vehicle safe on the road.
