Repair it now, or replace it later

A chip the size of a quarter is a 20-minute fix. Left alone, one cold morning or one pothole turns it into a crack — and then the whole windshield has to come out.

Insurance: Alabama doesn't require carriers to waive your deductible, but many waive it voluntarily on chip repair because it costs them far less than a replacement. We're happy to help you check with your carrier before you decide.

How it works

Three steps, and you never have to drive anywhere.

Send us a photo

Call or text a quick picture of the damage. We'll confirm whether it's repairable and give you a firm price — before we drive out.

We come to you

Home, office, job site, or the shop. Same-day or next-day in most cases. You don't have to be there as long as we can reach the vehicle.

Twenty minutes later

Damage sealed, strength restored, chip stopped in its tracks. Pay by card, cash, or app. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

What we can and can't fix

Every repair is performed to ANSI/AGSC/NWRD/ROLAGS 002-2022 — the national standard for repair of laminated automotive glass. It defines what's safely repairable and what isn't. We'd rather turn down a job than hand you back a windshield you're unhappy with.

✓ We repair

  • Bullseyes up to about 1 inch
  • Star breaks up to about 1 inch
  • Combination breaks
  • Half-moons and partial bullseyes
  • Surface chips and pits
  • Cracks up to 12 inches

Rule of thumb: smaller than a quarter, shorter than a dollar bill.

→ We'll refer you out

  • Damage directly in the driver's line of sight
  • Cracks that reach the edge of the glass
  • Damage through the inner glass layer
  • Old, dirty, or water-contaminated breaks
  • More than three significant breaks
  • Cracks longer than 12 inches

If it needs replacing, we'll say so and point you to a shop we trust. No charge, no hard feelings.

Where we go

No trip charge anywhere in our service area. Beyond 20 miles, we add a flat $25.

Common questions

Will the chip disappear completely?

No, and be careful of anyone who promises it will. Windshield repair restores the structural strength of the glass and stops the damage from spreading — that's the real job. Cosmetically, most repairs improve by roughly 70–90%, but a faint blemish usually remains. We'll show you the result from the driver's seat before you pay.

How long does it take?

About 20 minutes for a single chip, start to finish. Add roughly 5 minutes for each additional chip on the same windshield. You can keep working, stay inside, or run errands — we just need access to the vehicle.

Will my insurance cover it?

Often, yes. Alabama law doesn't require insurers to waive your deductible for glass, but many carriers waive it voluntarily on chip repair because it costs them far less than funding a full replacement. Call your carrier and ask specifically about "windshield repair" — we're glad to walk you through it.

Can you drive right after?

Yes. The resin is fully UV-cured before we leave, so there's no waiting period and no adhesive to set. That's one of the real advantages over replacement, which typically requires a safe-drive-away time of an hour or more.

What if the chip spreads while you're repairing it?

It's uncommon, but it's a real risk with any windshield repair — especially on older damage, star breaks, and longer cracks. We'll always tell you honestly before we start if a particular break carries elevated risk, and you sign off before we touch it. If a repair we performed later fails, our warranty credits everything you paid toward a replacement.

Do I need my camera or sensors recalibrated?

Generally no. Chip repair doesn't remove or reposition the glass, so ADAS cameras mounted behind the windshield stay exactly where the factory put them — that's a replacement issue, not a repair issue. If damage sits directly in a camera's field of view, we'll tell you and recommend against repairing it there.

What's the warranty?

For as long as you own the vehicle. If the break we repaired spreads, we credit 100% of what you paid toward a windshield replacement. The warranty covers the specific damage we repaired — not new damage from a new impact.
