Repair or Replace?
Most small chips and short cracks can be repaired if they are caught early. As a general rule of thumb, a chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than a few inches is a good repair candidate. Damage right in the driver’s line of sight, at the edge of the glass, or with a long crack usually needs a replacement instead.

How Chip Repair Works
- We clean out the chip and check the damage
- We inject a clear repair resin that fills the break
- The resin is cured until it is hard and clear
- We polish the surface smooth
The repair usually takes well under an hour, and you can drive away when we are done. The spot will be much less visible, and the chip is sealed so it is far less likely to spread.
Insurance and Chip Repair
Glass damage is usually covered under the comprehensive part of an auto insurance policy, and many policies cover chip repair with little or nothing out of pocket. Every policy is different, so send us your insurance information and we will help you check and file the claim.
Chip Repair FAQ
Will the chip disappear completely?
A repair makes the chip much less noticeable and stops it from spreading, but a faint mark can sometimes remain. The goal is to keep the windshield strong and save you a replacement.
Should I wait to get it fixed?
No. Dirt and moisture get into the chip over time, and temperature swings can make it spread. The sooner it is repaired, the better the result.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We are a mobile service and can repair chips at your home or work anywhere in Akron and the surrounding area.
What if the chip has already cracked?
Short cracks can sometimes still be repaired. Longer cracks usually need a new windshield, which we also install on-site.
