You might not expect it, but a pebble flying through the air, a sudden shift in temperature, or even a small fender incident can cause a cracked or chipped windshield. We know how stressful and annoying it may be to have broken glass at Dave’s Metro Auto Glass. Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we get from customers in Arizona about fixing auto glass and replacing windshields.
Can You Drive With A Cracked Windshield?
The size and place of the damage matter. You can usually fix little chips (less than a quarter) or cracks that are less than three inches long. But bigger fractures or fissures that are directly in your line of sight can make it hard to see and make you less safe. Driving with a cracked windshield that makes it hard for the driver to see is also against the law in Arizona. If you’re not sure, get your windshield checked out as soon as you can.
What Is The Difference Between Repair and Replacement?
To fix a windshield, a specific glue is injected into a minor chip or crack to make the glass stronger and stop it from spreading. When the damage is too big, the crack goes all the way to the edges, or there are more than one chip, you need to have a new windshield. After an inspection, our professionals at Dave’s Metro Auto Glass will always provide the safest and cheapest option.
How Long Does It Take?
It usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes to replace a windshield. The glue needs time to dry properly after installation, which is normally one hour before you may drive again. We’ll always let you know when it’s ready so you can feel safe getting back on the road.
Does Insurance Cover It?
Many drivers in Arizona are happy to find out that their full insurance generally covers the cost of fixing or replacing auto glass. Some insurance in Arizona even cover windshield repair with no deductible. Most major insurance companies deal directly with Dave’s Metro Auto Glass, so we’ll take care of the paperwork and make the procedure as easy as possible.

Can I Tell If My Windshield Needs Fixed?
If the chip is smaller than a quarter and not in the driver’s line of sight, it may usually be fixed. But if the cracks go all the way to the edge of the glass or go through more than one layer, you usually need to replace it. Our professionals can look at the damage and suggest the best way to fix it.
When Can I First Wash My Vehicle?
We suggest that you wait at least 24 hours before utilizing high-pressure water or an automatic car wash on your car. This makes sure that the glue has properly dried and that your new windshield stays sealed and safe.
What Type Of Glass Is Used?
We use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) glass that meets or exceeds the safety standards set by the factory. This keeps your car’s original strength, clarity, and fit.
How Can I Prevent Future Damage?
Don’t follow big trucks too closely, especially if they’re transporting gravel or other material. To keep the glass from getting too hot in Arizona, park in the shade. Fix small chips right away before they get worse.
