When Should You Repair a Windshield Chip?
A small chip can compromise your windshield's safety and quickly spread into a large, unrepairable crack, especially with Texas temperature changes. You should seek repair immediately if you notice:
The chip is smaller than the size of a quarter.
The damage has not reached the edge of the windshield.
The chip is not directly in the driver's primary line of sight.
There are three or fewer individual chips on the glass.
Our Rock Chip Repair Process
When you call us for a rock chip repair, here's exactly what we do. No surprises, just honest work that gets your windshield back to safe driving condition.
Damage Inspection & Cleaning
We start by thoroughly cleaning the damaged area and carefully inspecting the chip to confirm it's a suitable candidate for repair. Not every chip can be fixed, and we'll tell you straight up if yours needs a full windshield replacement instead.
Preparing the Impact Point
Our technician prepares the chip, sometimes by drilling a tiny hole, to ensure the repair resin can penetrate every part of the damage for a strong bond. This prep work makes the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails.
Resin Injection
Using a specialized tool, we create a vacuum over the chip and inject a high-quality, clear resin that fills the break completely. The vacuum pulls out any air and moisture that could weaken the repair.
Curing with UV Light
An ultraviolet light is used to cure and harden the resin, bonding the glass back together and restoring the windshield's structural integrity. This isn't just cosmetic — it's about keeping you safe.
Final Polish
We remove any excess resin from the surface and polish the area to a smooth, clear finish, making the repair nearly invisible. Your glass guys don't consider the job done until it looks right and drives right.

Rock Chip Repair FAQs
Most rock chip repairs take 15 to 30 minutes. That's it. We clean the chip, inject the resin, cure it, and polish the surface. No appointment needed — just drive up and we'll get it fixed. The big chain shops might tell you to leave your car for hours, but that's not how we do things.
Let's be honest — you'll probably still see a small mark where the chip was. We're not magicians. But the repair will be 80-90% less visible than before, and more importantly, it stops the chip from turning into a crack that spreads across your windshield. That's what really matters.
Most comprehensive insurance policies cover rock chip repair with no deductible. Zero out-of-pocket cost. We handle the insurance paperwork for you — no surprises, no hassles. When you call us, let's see if your policy covers it before we start any work.
Wait 24 hours before hitting the car wash. The resin needs time to fully cure, especially if you're going through one of those high-pressure washes. After that, you're good to go. We don't do salesy follow-up calls, but we will tell you exactly what to expect during the curing process.
If the crack is less than 6 inches, we can usually stop it and repair the original chip. Once it gets longer than that, you're looking at windshield replacement territory. The sooner you bring it in, the better chance we have to save your windshield and save you money.
Don't Let That Rock Chip Turn Into a Crack
Most chips can be fixed in 30 minutes or less. But wait too long? That small chip becomes a spreading crack that means full windshield replacement at $300-800.
