    Small chips and limited damage may be repairable when they are away from the edge and do not interfere with the driver's view. A repair can help stop damage from spreading and restore the glass's strength.

    Long cracks, edge cracks, deep impact damage, and damage in a critical viewing area may require replacement. The vehicle's camera and sensor systems can also affect the replacement process.

    Because every impact is different, photos or an inspection are the best way to determine the next step. PG Auto Glass provides mobile repair and replacement throughout Los Angeles County.
