The windshield of your car is a key component that is subjected to considerable abuse. In the event the windshield becomes cracked or otherwise damaged this is something that needs to be looked after quickly, not something that can be left alone. Depending on where the damage is located and the extent of it there is always the possibility that it can be repaired otherwise replacement auto glass in Chicago will be necessary. As you look for a competent shop to make the repair or undertake the replacement there are a few things to bear in mind.
The first action that should be taken is to check with your auto insurance company, if you have a comprehensive policy the damage or full replacement should be covered entirely or at least with a minimal deductable that will have to be paid personally. Most comprehensive policies place a deductable on all work except windshield repair or replacement but better to be safe than sorry, so check this first.

The best shops do not hesitate to offer a warranty on the replacement. If there is going to be a problem it will most certainly show up in the first month.
