I found myself with a dead car battery late in the afternoon! Called Matthews Tire and they told me to bring the car in immediately, which I did! Fifteen minutes later my battery was installed! The reception area where I waited was very clean and inviting. Terrific "service with a smile" from the two gentlemen that were at the reception desk!

Why Putting Off a Cracked Windshield Could Cost You More Than You Think

At Matthews Tire, your safety comes first, on every road and in every season. A small crack in your windshield might seem harmless, but it can quickly turn into a serious safety concern. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Reduced Visibility: Chips and cracks scatter sunlight and hold moisture. That glare or haze can make it harder to see clearly in fog, rain or at night.
  • Greater Risk of Shattering: A damaged windshield can worsen from small jolts or temperature changes, increasing the chance of it cracking further or breaking entirely.
  • Weakened Protection During a Crash: Windshields are part of your vehicle’s safety system. Damage compromises the roof’s strength and may interfere with airbag function.
  • Legal Issues in Wisconsin: Serious windshield damage can result in a citation or failed inspection. It’s not just about safety, it’s also about compliance.

Whether you’re commuting through Fond du Lac or just taking care of errands around town, don’t take chances with your visibility or protection. Our experienced technicians will inspect your windshield and recommend the safest, most affordable option, repair or replacement.

Wondering If You Need a Windshield Repair or Full Replacement?

Windshield damage isn’t always easy to judge. If you’re unsure whether a repair will do the job or if it’s time for a full replacement, here’s what to consider:

  • Cracks Over 6 Inches: Most long cracks aren’t safely repairable. Even shorter ones might require replacement depending on location and severity.
  • More Than One Impact Area: Multiple chips or fractures weaken the glass significantly, which often means full replacement is the safest route.
  • Damage in Your Line of Sight: Chips directly in front of the driver can distort vision, putting your safety at risk.

Not sure what your windshield needs? Our Fond du Lac team will inspect the damage, explain your options clearly and recommend the safest path forward. Whether it’s a fast fix or a full replacement, we’ve got you covered.

Frequently Asked Windshield Repair Questions

Can you fix a cracked windshield without replacing it?
You can fix a cracked windshield without replacing it if the crack is small, typically under six inches. Windshield repair involves injecting resin into the crack to restore structural integrity and prevent spreading. Repairs work best on minor chips and cracks that don’t obstruct the driver’s view.
How long will a cracked windshield last?
A cracked windshield can last days to months, depending on the size, location and severity of the damage. Temperature changes, vibrations and moisture can cause cracks to spread quickly. Driving with a cracked windshield increases safety risks and prompt repair or replacement is recommended.
What is the cost of windshield replacement?
Windshield replacement costs range from $200 to $500, depending on the vehicle make, model, and type of glass. Luxury or specialty vehicles can cost over $1,000. Insurance may cover the cost if comprehensive coverage applies. OEM glass is more expensive than aftermarket options. At Matthews Tire in Appleton, WI, we offer competitive pricing and can provide an accurate estimate tailored to your vehicle’s specifications.
Does insurance cover windshield repair or replacement?
Insurance may cover windshield repair or replacement if you have comprehensive coverage. Many policies waive the deductible for minor repairs, but full replacement may require a deductible. Coverage varies by provider, state, and policy terms. Check with your insurer for specific details.
How long does a windshield replacement take at your Fond du Lac location?
Windshield replacement typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. However, the adhesive requires one to two hours to cure before driving. Some adhesives may need up to 24 hours for full strength. Waiting ensures proper bonding and safety. We’re right off Johnson Street, so it’s easy to drop your vehicle off and grab lunch at Friar Tuck’s, Gino’s Italian Restaurant or Riviera Maya Mexican Bar & Grill. We’re also close enough to grab some coffee downtown at Lavish Coffee, Wonder or Just Love Coffee Cafe.
What should I look for in a reputable auto glass repair service?
A reputable auto glass repair service should have certified technicians, high-quality materials, and positive customer reviews. Look for companies using OEM or high-quality aftermarket glass and strong adhesives. Warranty coverage and insurance assistance are also key indicators of reliability.
How can I prevent windshield damage in the future?

Prevent windshield damage by maintaining a safe following distance, avoiding gravel roads and parking in shaded areas to reduce temperature stress. Use proper windshield wipers, avoid slamming car doors and repair minor chips promptly to prevent spreading. Regular inspections help detect early signs of damage.
