Windshield Repair vs Replacement: What’s Right for Your Vehicle?
Not every crack needs a full replacement and not every one can be safely repaired. The right fix depends on the size, depth, and location of the damage. Here’s a quick guide:
| Damage | Recommended Service | Typical Time |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller than a loonie | Repair | 30–60 min |
| Crack outside your line of sight | Repair | 30–60 min |
| Long, spreading, or at edge of glass | Replacement | 60-90 mins |
| Damage near the windshield edge | Replacement | 60-90 mins |
| Crack in the driver’s sightline | Replacement | 60-90 mins |
Generally, a small chip that hasn’t spread into your line of sight can be safely repaired, restoring the glass without the cost of a full replacement. But once a crack starts spreading, reaches the edge of the windshield, or sits directly in the driver’s view, replacement becomes the safer choice — it’s the only way to fully restore the windshield’s structural strength. Acting early almost always keeps you in repair territory, which saves both time and money.

Replacing your windshield? Don’t forget ADAS calibration.
Many newer vehicles have cameras and sensors mounted to the windshield that power lane-departure warnings, forward-collision alerts, and rain-sensing wipers. After a replacement, these systems need proper recalibration to work accurately — and our certified technicians handle it in-house, so every safety feature works exactly as intended.
