Understand The Types of Windshield Chips That Can be Repaired

Automotive safety is a primary concern for car buyers, parents of new drivers and pretty much anyone else who climbs behind the wheel. To this end, car manufacturers work hard to create systems that will keep drivers and passengers safe while on the road. These systems include seat belts, airbags and the auto glass. If you were surprised by the last system, you are not alone. Many people don’t realize that the condition of their windshield can be the difference between walking away from an accident and being badly injured. Happily, major damage to a windshield can be avoided by responding as soon as you’ve noticed repairable windshield chips. At Coats Auto Body in Raleigh, we are standing by to get your automobile back into safe operating condition.

These chips are easier to repair when they’re caught before they get any bigger than an inch or an inch and a half. If the surface depth of the chip gets to be more than 1/8 of an inch, it may be impossible to repair the window. Drivers expose their cars to the risk of damage. We provide the windshield care necessary to protect the effectiveness of the auto glass system.
