Windshield Repair Simi Valley CA - Free Mobile Service

What types of windshield damage can be repaired instead of replaced?

Not all windshield damage requires a full windshield replacement. At Simi Valley Mobile Auto Glass, we repair chips, bull's eyes, star breaks, and combination breaks using a resin injection process. A pit filler is used to smooth out small surface damages, while a vacuum injection method ensures proper adhesion. However, larger damage like an edge crack, floater crack, or stress crack may require new auto glass. If your vehicle has ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), recalibration is needed after replacement to restore safety functions.

How Is A Windshield Chip or Crack Professionally Repaired?

Our windshield repair process starts with cleaning the damaged area and using a repair kit that includes an injector and a bridge (repair bridge) to apply resin. We then expose the treated area to UV light using a curing lamp to harden the material, reinforcing the auto glass. Finally, we finish the repair with polishing to restore clarity and prevent further damage.

Does Windshield Repair Affect Vehicle Sensors Like Rain Sensors or HUD?

Most windshield chips and cracks can be repaired without affecting any vehicle features. However, if a chip is near a rain sensor, light sensor, or heads up display (HUD) area, extra precision is required. At Simi Valley Mobile Auto Glass, we ensure the repaired laminated glass maintains its original functionality. We also use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) glass if a section of the windshield needs reinforcement.

How Long Does Windshield Repair Take, and When Can I Drive Again?

With mobile windshield repair, minor chip and crack repairs typically take about 30 minutes. We use urethane adhesive and butyl tape where needed for reinforcement. Following safe drive away time (SDAT) guidelines ensures the repair has fully set before driving, preventing further damage.
