A small rock or bump in the road could disrupt your day by causing a flat tire or a crack in your windshield. When you get a flat tire, it\u2019s pretty obvious that it needs to be replaced right away, but with a damaged windshield it\u2019s hard to know if you should repair it or replace it. Today we\u2019re going to help you decide when it\u2019s the right time to replace your windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3>Windshield Repair in Phoenix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"one_half\">When your vehicle\u2019s windshield gets smaller chips and cracks, you can usually get away with getting them repaired. Most of the time a chip or crack can be safely repaired if it can be covered by a dollar bill. There are a few exceptions to this rule. You might want to replace the windshield if: the crack or chip is directly in the driver\u2019s line of sight, there are more than three cracks or chips in the glass, the damage is at the edge of the windshield or the windshield is old and covered with tiny divots.<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"one_half_last\">When you have a chip or crack in your windshield, it is important to get it repaired as soon as possible. A small chip can spread across the windshield if you hit a big pothole or another rock or pebble hits the same area. It can be a gamble to continue driving when you already have some damage to your windshield.<br \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/24090624\/windshield-wipers-B_b-1.png\" alt=\"Windshield wipers working during rain \" class=\"wp-image-14997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/24090624\/windshield-wipers-B_b-1.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/24090624\/windshield-wipers-B_b-1-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/24090651\/Mechanic-holding-winshield-wiper_b.png\" alt=\"A mechanic checking a vehicle's wiper\" class=\"wp-image-14999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/24090651\/Mechanic-holding-winshield-wiper_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/24090651\/Mechanic-holding-winshield-wiper_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arrowheadmbservice.com\/schedule-car-maintenance-or-auto-repair-peoria-az\">Schedule a Service Appointment at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead<\/a> ]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time for your vehicle to get repaired, call or visit us here at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arrowheadmbservice.com\/contact-mercedes-benz-of-arrowhead-service-in-peoria-az\">Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead<\/a>.
