Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and while we’re all looking forward to delicious feasts and family gatherings, the holiday season can also take a toll on our wallets. But did you know that ignoring windshield damage could also gobble up your savings if left unchecked? At Busy Bee Windshields, we’re here to help you understand why tackling minor windshield damage now is essential for saving time and money. Here’s how a quick repair now can keep your budget safe this holiday season.
How Windshield Damage Gets Worse Over Time
Delaying windshield repair can seem tempting, especially with holiday expenses on the horizon. But ignoring those chips and cracks can lead to bigger problems down the line.
- Cracks and Chips Expand: Small chips and cracks are notorious for growing larger over time, especially with temperature changes. The more extensive the damage, the more likely it is you’ll need a full windshield replacement rather than a simple repair. The difference in cost between these two options can be significant, especially when you’re trying to stretch a holiday budget.
- Winter Expenses Add Up: With all the costs of the season, saving where you can is important. A quick repair is typically far less expensive than a full replacement, making it easier to manage expenses. By addressing minor issues now, you avoid big expenses later and keep your holiday budget intact.
Why Winter Weather Speeds Up the “Gobble” Factor
Winter in Sandy, UT, isn’t exactly kind to damaged windshields. In fact, it’s the perfect environment for small cracks to grow.
- Cold Temperatures: Cold weather causes glass to contract, putting strain on any existing cracks. A crack that seems manageable in mild weather can quickly expand in freezing conditions, making it harder (and more expensive) to repair.
- Freezing Moisture in Cracks: Any water that seeps into windshield cracks can freeze overnight, expanding and worsening the damage. This freeze-thaw cycle causes cracks to spread, making them more costly to repair or requiring a full replacement.
- Windshield Defrosting Cycle: When you start the car on a chilly morning, the defrosting cycle heats up the windshield. This quick temperature change can cause thermal stress on damaged glass, making chips or cracks spread even faster.
