Driving on highway 55 there’s a good chance you’ve seen more than just beautiful scenery. You’ve also seen a rock or two chip away at your window.
If this is happened to you it’s time you call McCall Glass Works at 208-634-1911 for a FREE quote.
The good news is that most cracks and chips can be repaired. That said, a chip repair should be done as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the windshield. If the chip is not filled in a timely manner it increases the likelihood that it will crack further. When this occurs you will require a full replacement of the windshield instead of a simple chip repair.
Insurance & Chip Repair
Most insurance companies will waive your deductible if a windshield is repaired rather than replaced. Therefore, getting a chip repaired as soon as possible will not only save you time and money, but it can also prevent potential driving hazards caused by a small crack getting worse.

Preventative "Chip Repair" Tips
It’s one thing to have the auto glass specialists at McCall Glass Works fix a chip in your windshield, but what if you notice a chip or small crack in your windshield and are unable to have it repaired in a timely manner?
Keeping that in mind, the team of auto glass specialists at McCall Glass Works have provided the following timely preventative tips to protect the integrity of the glass:
1) When you get a chip on your windshield be sure to put a piece of clear scotch tape on the crack to ensure a cleaner repair. Doing this helps to prevent oxygen, moisture and contaminants from getting into any area of the chip. This directly prevents the chip from spreading and could prevent turning a simple chip repair into a windshield replacement.
2) If you have a chip or small crack, it’s important that you do not use the defroster or the air conditioner until the chip has been repaired. Variable temperatures can cause the crack to spread and could prevent turning a simple chip repair into a windshield replacement.
3) Inspect your windshield every so often while washing vehicle. Thoroughly clean and examine the windshield looking for any damage, especially around the edges, including wiper and cowling areas. Remember, seeing clearly when you’re driving isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
