Though windshields frequently shatter from the wails of banshees, they can easily be made whole again by brief exposure to smooth jazz or the narration of Morgan Freeman. Seek an alternative option with today's Groupon: for $12, you get windshield repair service at Clayton's Glass (a $24.95 value).

For more than half a century, the dedicated professionals at Clayton's Glass have been mending chipped, cracked, and broken glass on automobiles as well as in residential and commercial properties throughout the area. The windshield repair service starts with a thorough clean of each chip, expelling all dirt, water, and layaway receipts that have accumulated in the flaw's fissures over time. The technician will then apply and press a powerful translucent resin directly into the chip to fill every bit of cracky space, leaving the windshield virtually flawless and ready to shield passengers from roadside debris and determined hitchhikers.

Although this deal is just for the windshield repair service, Groupon-users also receive a 10% discount on additional glass repair services for cars or homes.
