Fix the Chip Before it Gets Worse
If ignored, a small chip can become a much larger problem, even without another impact.
In Canada, the effects of cold and hot climates can quickly turn chips into spreading cracks or spider-webbing that obstruct vision and make glass unsafe. At that point, the glass will have to be replaced.
Why wait and risk it becoming a bigger problem when rock chip repair is fast and likely free if you’re insured for glass damage?
We combine highly experienced auto glass technicians with modern technology to provide you with quick, high-quality windshield rock chip repairs.
It’s a quick and painless process, and the integrity of your windshield can be restored in 30 minutes or less.
When does a chip cross the line into a crack? Our team can help you understand the difference, and we can help you with almost any auto glass service necessary to restore your glass.
Is it too Late for Rock Chip Repair?
Using our advanced equipment, we can repair most rock chips. Our process bonds the damaged glass back together using injection pressure and specially formulated glass resins that seep into the crack and harden, becoming seamless.
The process restores the windshield’s integrity (strength), dramatically improves the appearance, and, most importantly, prevents the break from spreading. This process can be used if the damage meets certain criteria, as described in the chart below:
Can My Windshield Be Repaired?
| The chip obstructs the driver’s vision | If the chip obstructs the driver’s view, it may need to be handled with a full replacement. While rock chip repairs are nearly imperceptible, they may still cause issues if they are in this area. |
| The chip is too close to the windshield edge | Chip repair is ineffective on chips located too close to where the glass is sealed to the frame. |
| The chip is the size of a Loonie or smaller | If the chip has already spread to an area larger than the size of a Loonie, it may require complete replacement. If the chip penetrates too deeply into the windshield layers, it can compromise the structural integrity. |
| There are more than three chips | If there are too many chips in one area, it may not be possible to restore the windshield’s integrity by just filling them. Safety may require a new windshield. |
