Our local experts at Affordable Auto Glass can inspect the damage and recommend the best solution for your vehicle.

While Wisconsin law doesn’t specifically ban driving with a cracked windshield, you can be ticketed if the damage obstructs the driver’s view or creates a safety hazard. It’s best to schedule a windshield repair or replacement to avoid risks or fines.
We recommend waiting at least 60 minutes after installation before driving. This allows the adhesive to properly cure, ensuring your windshield is safely and securely in place.

If you wait too long, small chips or cracks can spread due to temperature changes, bumps in the road, or weather. What could’ve been a quick, affordable repair might turn into a full windshield replacement.
At Affordable Auto Glass, we use high-quality OEM or OEM-equivalent glass to ensure a perfect fit and performance, just like the original.
Most chip repairs will still leave a faint mark. The main goal is to restore the windshield’s strength and stop the damage from spreading, not to make it completely disappear, though it will look much better.
In many cases, comprehensive auto insurance covers windshield repair or replacement (often with little or no cost to you). We’re happy to help you check your Wisconsin insurance coverage and assist with the claims process.
