A repair keeps your factory seal intact. The original urethane bond from the assembly line has never been disturbed, and nothing beats it. A repair also takes about half an hour, costs a fraction of a replacement, and doesn’t require ADAS recalibration.

This is why many insurers waive the deductible on chip repairs: paying for a $70 repair today is cheaper for them than a $900 replacement plus calibration next month.

Generally repairable:

• Bullseye, star break, combination break, and half-moon chips up to about the size of a quarter
• Short cracks under roughly three inches
• Damage outside the driver’s primary line of sight

Usually not repairable:

• Long cracks, edge cracks, and damage in the driver’s sight line
• Chips that have already collected dirt or water
• Damage on the inner layer of the glass

A chip is a stress point in a sheet of glass that flexes every time you hit a pothole. Heat makes it worse — a windshield that’s been baking in a Louisiana parking lot all afternoon and then gets hit with cold air conditioning can turn a quarter-sized chip into a crack running the full width of the glass. Cover it with clear tape to keep water and dirt out, and call us.
