Windshield repair experts are qualified technicians who handle and fix a windshield damage or chip. During training, these technicians are provided practice windshields and extensive hands on training by fully qualified instructors to teach them to repair all types of windshield damage. In case a windshield is damaged, a windshield expert needs to be consulted, so that the condition of your windshield can be determined and a recommendation made as to a suitable course of action. A windshield repair expert using a windshield repair kit can stop a chip or crack from spreading, and in the process, improve the appearance of the windshield by an average of about 80%. Often the finished repair job is nearly invisible. The repair expert fills in the cracked or chipped area with glue like clear resin. Once the resin gets embedded in the glass, it is cured and then polished to make the crack look virtually unnoticeable. Cracks and chips can be of various types and all of them don't respond in the same way to the treatment.

The annual turnover in the windshield repair industry is over one billion dollars. With its rapid growth in the industry, more and more people are opting to become windshield repair experts and starting their own business. After successful completion of the training, an expert can choose to start a business from home or run a part time venture. The business has low start up and overhead costs, making it a viable option for many. Typical clients are fleets, insurance companies, car lots, car rental companies, trucking companies and any industry that uses a lot of automotive and plate glass. Windshield repair experts can repair cracks up to 24 inches long in addition to small scratches, chips and bulls eye damages. Some experts provide warranty against further cracking and cover all the repairs.
