Windshield repair

Fix the chip before it becomes a crack

A small chip can spread across your windshield with one bump or a hot afternoon. A quick resin repair stops it in 20–30 minutes — at your home or work — and keeps your original factory glass.

Why repair first

Save money and keep your factory seal

When the damage is small enough, a repair is faster, cheaper and better for your car than a full replacement.

Costs a fraction of replacement

A repair is a small part of the cost of a new windshield — and you see the price before you book.

Keeps your factory seal

Your original windshield and its factory installation stay in place. No adhesive cure time, no recalibration.

Done in about 30 minutes

We repair it wherever your car is parked. You can drive right away.

Repair or replace?

How it works

A clean repair in four steps

  1. 1

    Inspect

    We check the size, depth and location of the damage and confirm a repair is the right fix.

  2. 2

    Clean

    Moisture and debris are cleared from the break so the resin can bond fully.

  3. 3

    Inject resin

    Optical-grade resin is pushed into the break under pressure to fill every leg of the chip.

  4. 4

    Cure & polish

    UV light hardens the resin and the surface is polished smooth.

FAQ

Common questions

Don’t see your question? Text or call us — a real person answers, in English or Spanish.

Will the chip disappear completely?

A repair restores strength and stops the spread. Most chips become much less visible, but a faint mark may remain depending on the damage.

How long does a chip repair take?

About 20–30 minutes, and you can drive immediately afterward.

Can a long crack be repaired?

Cracks longer than about 6 inches, or cracks at the edge of the glass, usually need a replacement. Text us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Should I wait to fix a chip?

No. Heat, cold, car washes and bumps all make chips spread. Repairing early is the best way to avoid a full replacement.
