FAQS
How is a damaged windshield repaired?
The process consists of injecting a resin into the damaged area. When the resin fills the damaged area, it is covered with a sealer and exposed to an ultraviolet light which cures and hardens the resin. This process bonds all of the tiny cracks together and prevents the cracks from spreading. This restores the original strength and integrity of the windshield.

Why should I have a chip in my windshield repaired?
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.
As you will learn, below, when it comes to your insurance many 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.
