Your vehicle’s health is paramount, especially when you are on the road around Keyser, WV. After all, every aspect of your vehicle works in conjunction to deliver the quality and safe experience you love. That is why it’s important to routinely service your vehicle. However, there are other things you should keep in mind.

One of those things is why you shouldn’t drive with a chip in your windshield. While the chip may seem like a small factor, there are a few reasons why you should avoid driving with one.

• Firstly, cracks obstruct your vision. As such, they are a safety hazard, as the tend to draw your eye toward them.


• On top of that, they affect your car’s overall structure integrity. This can be a major factor if you are ever in a collision.


• Lastly, cracks spread over time. What may seem like a small crack now is not guaranteed to stay that smile. After more time on the road, that crack can spread, thus becoming larger and more dangerous until it is eventually fixed. Everything from dirt, to temperature changes, to bumps in the road can widen your windshield crack.
