Ask Us About Your ChipTypes of Windshield Damage
Not all chips are the same. The type and size of the break determines whether repair or replacement is the right call. Here's what each type looks like and what it means for your windshield.
Legs radiate outward from the impact point like a starburst. Usually repairable if the total diameter is under 3 inches and the break is not in the driver's direct line of sight. One of the most common chip types.
A circular impact with a cone-shaped crater, like a target. Usually caused by a round object such as a ball bearing or stone. Clean and easy to repair if caught early before dirt and moisture work into the break.
A combination of two or more break types radiating from a single impact point, often a bull's eye with star legs or multiple leg types together. Repairable in most cases as long as the overall size stays under the dollar-bill rule.
Similar to a bull's eye but with an incomplete circle, usually because the stone hit at an angle. Can be mistaken for a simple edge chip. Repairable depending on depth and location.
A crack that starts within two inches of the edge of the windshield. These are structurally more serious because windshield edges bear load during airbag deployment. Edge cracks typically require full replacement, not repair.
Any crack longer than 6 inches. Long cracks have spread too far for resin to stabilize effectively. While some short cracks can be injected to stop further spread, a crack that has traveled more than 6 inches means replacement.
An edge chip that has already propagated into a running crack along or across the glass. The combination of edge damage and active crack spread makes repair impossible. Full replacement is the only option.

How It Works
Four steps. Fifteen to thirty minutes. At your home, office, or wherever your car is parked.
We examine the chip size, location, depth, and type. Most chips smaller than a dollar bill that are outside the driver's direct line of sight qualify for repair. We'll tell you immediately if replacement is the better call.
The damaged area is cleaned to remove any dirt, moisture, or debris that could interfere with the resin bond. Getting this step right matters. Contaminants trapped inside the chip will make the repair visible.
Resin injection uses cycles of vacuum and pressure. Vacuum draws air and debris out of the chip, creating room for the resin. Pressure then forces optical resin into every void in the glass. Professional-grade equipment, same process used industry-wide.
A UV lamp cures the resin, hardening it to near-original glass strength. The surface is polished until smooth. Additionally, most repairs are nearly invisible from normal driving position. The whole process takes 15-30 minutes.
Pricing
Pricing is upfront before we start. No surprise fees. If the chip can't be repaired after inspection, you don't pay for a failed attempt.
