Rock Chip Repairs

Preparing for Your Rock Chip Repair:

  • Keep the Area Clean & Cool: Don’t touch the chip and park in a shaded, cool spot.
  • Keep the Windshield Dry: Avoid water exposure to the chip.
  • Drive Carefully: Avoid rough roads or impacts before the repair.
  • Avoid Defrosters & Sunlight: Don’t use defrosters or expose the vehicle to direct sunlight before the appointment.

Getting a rock chip repair done is a cost-effective way to prevent further damage and avoid more expensive repairs down the line. A quick fix can stop the chip from spreading, ensuring your windshield remains structurally sound and safe. It also improves visibility, preserves the value of your vehicle, and can often be covered by insurance with little to no out-of-pocket cost. Plus, it’s an environmentally friendly option, as repairing keeps glass out of landfills and reduces waste.


It's important to understand that the success of the repair is measured by restoring the glass's structural integrity, not its appearance. While the chip may still be visible after the repair, we always strive to minimize any further damage. In the rare case that the chip spreads, we'll apply the cost of the repair toward a full windshield replacement with our company. We're committed to providing the best outcome possible for your windshield.
