Windshield Chip Repair in Champaign, IL
Chip in your windshield in Champaign-Urbana? Don’t wait for it to spread. Magic Glass of Champaign, IL repairs windshield chips at our shop at 706 Bloomington Rd., or wherever your vehicle is with our mobile service. Call (217) 351-0900.
The main goal of a chip repair is to stop the damage from spreading into a crack, which would mean a whole new windshield. We fill the chip with resin and cure it, which bonds the glass and seals out dirt and moisture. Chips smaller than a fifty-cent piece can usually be repaired, and once we repair a chip, we guarantee it won’t crack out from that spot. If it does, the cost of the chip repair goes toward a replacement.
What to expect. A repair won’t make the chip disappear. Most chips end up about 50% less noticeable, and the spot is sealed. Most repairs take less than an hour.
Why sooner is better in central Illinois. Big temperature swings are hard on a chipped windshield. Running the defroster on a January morning or the A/C on a hot July afternoon can spread a chip into a crack, and so can a pothole. Sometimes a chip also has small hidden cracks that can spread during the repair itself; if that happens, the windshield has to be replaced. The sooner we see it, the better the odds.
Insurance. Many policies with glass coverage pay for chip repair. We work with any insurance company and will help with the claim, and without coverage a repair costs far less than a new windshield.
