What Is Chip Repair?
Windshield chip repair is a precision process that fills damaged glass with a specialized, optically clear resin. Cured under UV light, this resin restores structural integrity and prevents the damage from spreading.
Common Windshield Damage
Not all chips are the same, but most can be repaired if caught early. Here are the types of damage we specialize in fixing.
Rock Chips
Small chips resulting from the top layer of glass, typically caused by flying debris.
Star Breaks
A series of short cracks radiating outward from the point of impact.
Bullseye Cracks
Circular damage featuring a separated cone in the outer layer of the glass.
Surface Cracks
Minor linear cracks that are still isolated to the outer surface.
