Since 1962, Glass Doctor has been replacing glass worldwide. The majority of its business is replacing automobile windshields and tempered glass, while the rest is divided between replacing residential glass and mirrors and commercial plate glass. Glass Doctor is a business on wheels, with a complete inventory and all necessary supplies transported in customized Glass Doctor service vehicles.

Glass Doctor has no comparable national competition, and thus enjoys an untapped market with almost unlimited potential. Glass Doctor franchisees provide customers with optimal results and the best value for their dollar, and reap the rewards with repeat business and referrals.

Glass Doctor is part of the Dwyer Group, an established organization that provides a �world of specialty services� via franchising.
