Why does it make more sense to repair than replace?
Why Repair?
As long as the damage is smaller than the size of a dollar bill most insurance companies will waive your deductible and cover 100% of the cost to repair a cracked or chipped windshield!

There is an 87% chance that chipped auto glass will spread within 30 days. Once damage is larger than six inches insurance companies won’t waive the deductible and will require a full replacement.
–
A damaged windshield compromises the structural integrity of a vehicle resulting in a higher chance of severe injuries in the event of a wreck.
