Have you ever wanted to
know more about your auto repairs,

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.280
but were afraid to
ask your mechanic?

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.160
This brief video provides
you with information designed to

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.395
help you make the right
decisions about your auto repair.

00:00:11.395 --> 00:00:13.795
The windshield is the number
one safety restraint in your

00:00:13.795 --> 00:00:17.315
vehicle, so it's important to
repair any minor damage or a

00:00:17.315 --> 00:00:20.120
full replacement might be
necessary to keep yourself and

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:21.420
your passengers safe.

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.400
If you have a small crack
or chip in your windshield,

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:27.820
make sure to have it
repaired as soon as possible.

00:00:28.355 --> 00:00:31.235
But be aware that even the
most advanced glass repair

00:00:31.235 --> 00:00:32.775
techniques have their limits.

00:00:33.715 --> 00:00:35.955
So if your windshield
is severely damaged,

00:00:35.955 --> 00:00:38.135
a full replacement
may be in your future.

00:00:38.980 --> 00:00:41.700
Ask your service advisor
to have your windshield checked

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.420
for any cracks or chips
that can still be repaired.

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:48.065
Because these cracks and chips can
severely impact your ability to see,

00:00:48.065 --> 00:00:50.805
and may compromise the overall
safety of your vehicle.

00:00:52.225 --> 00:00:55.265
If a crack is ignored
and begins to spread,

00:00:55.265 --> 00:00:57.685
the entire windshield
will have to be replaced.

00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:03.580
From a safety standpoint,

00:01:03.580 --> 00:01:06.535
there is a large safety
risk because a crack in the

00:01:06.535 --> 00:01:09.835
windshield will limit its
ability to protect you.

00:01:11.255 --> 00:01:12.455
But on the other hand,

00:01:12.455 --> 00:01:15.515
there is no environmental
impact of the windshield repair.
