Can Your Chip Be Repaired? Probably.
About 75% of windshield damage can be repaired instead of replaced — if you catch it early. A chip the size of a quarter or a crack under 6 inches usually qualifies. Repair takes about 20 minutes, costs $70 for the first chip, and preserves your vehicle’s original factory seal.
If your damage has already spread too far to repair safely, we’ll tell you honestly and walk you through windshield replacement instead — no upsell, no guesswork.
The biggest factor isn’t the size of the chip — it’s how long you wait. A chip that qualifies for a $70 repair today can spread into a crack that needs full replacement after just one cold morning or one pothole. If you’re not sure which category your damage falls into, don’t guess: walk in and let us take a look; there’s no charge for the assessment.
- Chip smaller than a quarter
- Crack under 6 inches
- Not in driver's line of sight
- No inner laminate damage
- Crack over 6 inches long
- Damage in line of sight

Don't Wait — Chips Spread Fast
A rock chip that's repairable today can turn into a crack that needs full replacement within days, especially with Pacific Northwest temperature swings. Watch for these signs it's time to act:
Fresh chips repair cleanest. The longer dirt and moisture sit in a chip, the harder it is to get an invisible repair.
Temperature swings are the #1 cause of a small chip suddenly spreading into a crack.
Still repairable in most cases, but the window is closing.
Chips off to the side are usually straightforward repairs.
Highway speeds and vibration are the fastest way to turn a small chip into a windshield-length crack.
Our Rock Chip & Crack Repair Process
No surprises. No upsells. Just an honest repair done right the first time.
Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, first come first served. Send us a photo ahead of time for a price estimate.
Our technician checks the size, depth, and location of the chip or crack.
UV-cured resin injection, no drilling. Cured resin is trimmed flush and polished.
The repair is inspected for clarity and strength. It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and includes a lifetime guarantee.

Unlike some auto glass companies, we never drill holes into your glass to perform a repair. Drilling weakens the glass and often leads to unnecessary full replacements. Our resin injection method leaves a smooth, near-invisible finish — guaranteed for life.
