5 Signs You Need a Windshield Replacement in Phoenix, AZ

Your windshield is more than just a piece of glass—it’s one of your car’s most important safety features. Unfortunately, in a place like Phoenix, Arizona, where dust storms, flying rocks, and extreme heat are common, windshield damage happens often.

But how do you know when a simple repair is enough—or when it’s time for a full windshield replacement?

At Pichon Auto Glass, we want to keep you safe and informed. Here are the top 5 signs that you may need to replace your windshield:


1. The Crack is Longer than 6 Inches

Small chips and cracks can often be repaired. But if a crack is longer than 6 inches (about the size of a dollar bill), replacement is usually the safest option. Long cracks can weaken the structural integrity of your windshield, putting you at risk in case of an accident.


2. The Damage is in the Driver’s Line of Sight

Even minor chips or blemishes directly in your line of vision can distort the road view—especially in the bright Phoenix sun. If the damage impacts visibility or distracts you while driving, replacing the windshield is the best choice to stay safe.


3. Multiple Chips or Cracks Are Spreading

One chip? Maybe repairable. But several chips or cracks (especially if they’re starting to spread) often mean the glass is compromised. Arizona’s extreme temperature swings make glass more likely to crack further, even overnight.


4. The Inner Glass Layer is Damaged

Windshields are made of two layers of glass with a special plastic layer in between. If you notice damage inside this layer—like fogging, discoloration, or moisture—you’ll need a full replacement to prevent leaks and safety risks.


5. Your Windshield Was Poorly Installed Before

Did you get your last windshield from a low-cost shop? Poor installation can lead to wind noise, leaks, and even glass popping loose in an accident. If you notice these signs, it’s time for a professional replacement.

What others are saying

Affordable price and job well done. Had both my truck and car side window done for $150 each. Was quoted $300-450 by others well-known autoglass for the car itself. Thank you, guys!

Angel and his grandpa put my windshield in for me. Great work, great service and great price. I am very happy with my purchase. They made sure that my A-Pillar did not crack, and were very professional.

I came by with my 2015 Toyota Corolla for a windshield replacement. They were done in 5 minutes literally!! I will recommend everyone for sure thank you.
