Windshield Glass Repair

Catch cracks and chips early & fix them fast with our expert repair services.

Comprehensive Windshield Glass Repair in Birmingham, AL

Chips and cracks in windshields usually happen because of rocks, debris, and even temperature changes. You know how you sometimes hear that little “thunk” of a pebble hitting the glass when you’re driving down the highway? That’s usually how chips start—small things like rocks, often from other cars or kicked up from the side of the road, can cause little dents that grow over time. Then, temperature shifts, like going from the hot sun to blasting your AC in the car, can stress the glass, making it crack further.

Instead of waiting for small glass chips to become larger problems, get in touch with Vulcan Auto Glass. Our mobile windshield glass repair services are designed just for you. We’ll assess the situation, come prepared with high-quality glass, and install it with absolute precision. The time to care for your vehicle is now. Schedule an appointment with our family-owned and operated business to experience the difference our friendly technicians can make.

    Windshield Repair vs. Replacement: Which Option is Best for You?

    When it comes to windshield damage, figuring out whether you need a quick repair or a full replacement can feel tricky. But here’s a simple rule: size and location matter. If you’ve got a small chip—say, about the size of a quarter—you’re likely in the clear for a repair. Cracks that sit right in your line of sight or near the frame are deal-breakers for repairs.

    The key is catching the damage early because chips have a way of turning into cracks at the worst possible moment. Once that tiny chip starts to spread into a long crack or creeps toward the edges, a replacement is usually your best bet. If you notice something, don’t wait. It’s always smarter and more cost-effective to handle a small fix than a big one.

    Smart Driving, Stronger Windshields

    Your vehicle gets you from point A to point B without a fuss, so the least you can do is give it the care it deserves—just like it takes care of you by keeping you safe on the road. Unfortunately, preventing cracks and chips in the windshield is something we can’t always avoid. However, there are a few ways you can be more cautious as you drive and keep your vehicle’s windshield as protected as possible:

    • To avoid flying rocks, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, especially trucks or those carrying debris.
    • Avoid potholes and road debris whenever possible. Steering clear of these hazards can reduce the chances of damaging your windshield.
    • Park in shaded areas to avoid extreme temperature shifts that can stress the glass.
    • Use a windshield cover during hot weather to protect your windshield from direct sun exposure.
    • Clean your windshield regularly to remove dirt and debris that can cause scratches or weaken the glass.
    • Be mindful of temperature changes. Avoid blasting cold air on a hot windshield or using your defroster too aggressively.

    The state of Alabama doesn’t have a specific law stating it’s illegal to drive with a cracked windshield, but that doesn’t mean you should do it. In addition to it being a massive safety hazard, there is also a federal law in place that could result in you being fined for driving with an obstructed view. This federal law states that your windshield needs to be free of damage from the space between the top of the steering wheel to within two inches of the top of the windshield.
