Windshield Repair
The main goal of a chip repair is to keep your windshield from cracking out. A small chip can turn into a long crack with one cold morning, one pothole or one slammed door. A repair stops that from happening, and it’s faster and cheaper than replacing the whole windshield.
Our guarantee: once we repair a chip, we guarantee your windshield won’t crack out from that spot. If it does, the cost of the chip repair goes toward a replacement.
What a repair will and won’t do. Our technicians fill the chip with a clear resin and cure it, which bonds the glass and stops the damage from spreading. The chip will not disappear. A blemish stays, but it’s typically about 50% less visible than before.
Get it in as soon as you can. The sooner we fix a chip, the better the repair comes out and the less likely the glass is to crack. Dirt and moisture work into the chip over time, and every day of driving puts stress on it. Don’t wait for it to spread.
An honest heads-up: sometimes a chip has small cracks running from it that can’t be seen. Once our equipment touches the glass, those hidden cracks can spread, and the windshield then needs to be replaced. It doesn’t happen often, but it can happen, and we want you to know before we start.
What can be repaired? Chips smaller than a fifty-cent piece can usually be repaired. Longer cracks, or damage directly in the driver’s line of sight, usually mean a replacement. Most repairs take less than an hour, at our shop or with our mobile service. Many insurance policies cover chip repair in full, and our dedicated insurance specialist can help with the claim.
