FAQ

What is a windshield repair?
Windshield repair is a process that combines modern technology and skill to fill a damaged area on a windshield with special clear adhesive resin. When this resin is cured the damaged area’s strength is restored as is most of the clarity.

Why repair my windshield?
Repairing a damaged windshield makes sense for several reasons. Repairs save money by preventing the need for costly replacement, and are very convenient taking only a few minutes. Repairs are also safe, as the glass is never removed so the original factory seal is maintained. With the rising price of modern automotive windshields and the high rate of faulty installations, repairing is a very economical and convenient alternative to replacing.

Which damages can be repaired?
We repair stone damage or stone “chips” up to the size of a 50 cent piece, as well as a single long crack up to a length of 18 inches. Best results are obtained when the damage is repaired right away, before it gets contaminated from car washing, road grime or inclement weather. It’s also better to get it done before the damage spreads.

What does a repair cost?
A fraction of what you would pay for a replacement! The windshield on a modern car or SUV can cost from $300 to $500, even more if it has an antenna, defroster, sensor or other technology built in to it. The average cost to repair a windshield is $55.

Jim was absolutely wonderful in every way. He was very personable and worked with my schedule. He offers to come to you, or if need be I was able to go to him. He did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced.

I called one glass repair place and they said I would need to replace my windshield given a crack that was at least 6 inches. It would cost nearly $900. Then I happened to call Jim and he said he could come to my place of work in an hour and repair the crack. The cost would be $140. That seemed like a much preferred scenario and he said the work was guaranteed for life.

I had a 10 inch crack in my window – I called Jim Hoffe and he had it fixed in less than an hour… and, he was right on time. He did a wonderful job and I can hardly see where the crack was! It looks so great – I highly recommend him!!

Jim came to my work parking lot just hours after I called! So convenient! He did an excellent job. I was so glad I didnt buy a kit and try to fix my chipped windshield (from a rock), after I saw all his precision tools and the art form of his repair. Price was really reasonable. Highly recommended!

I was referred to Jim by Safelite Repair. I have a 3500 RAM pickup truck and I had a crack in my windshield. I called him, and he answered right away.  We set up an appointment for March 2, 2024.  I thought I had to go to the shop, but Jim comes to you.  I was so happy.  Jim was on time and pleasant to talk to. He came ready and prepared.  Jim fixed my windshield and it look like it was never chipped/cracked.  Jim did an excellent job, and I saved his number in my phone for future cracks.  Yes, I will be referring him to anyone who has a windshield crack/chip.  Good job Jim and keep up the Good Work!!!
