STONE CHIP REPAIRS

Stone chips are the most common auto-glass damage. A flying pebble at highway speed leaves a small impact crater that, left alone, will spread into a long crack the next time the temperature swings or the body flexes. Catching a chip early — within days, not weeks — keeps the repair simple and the cost low. We inject optical-grade resin under vacuum, which fills the air pocket, bonds the glass back together, and stops the spread. Fast, cheap, and almost always covered by insurance.

Why You Should Act Fast on Stone Chip Repairs

A chip is a replacement waiting to happen. Temperature changes — even a warm defroster on a cold morning — stress the glass around the impact and grow a chip into a crack within days. Once a crack reaches 6 inches or enters the driver’s sight line, repair is no longer possible and you are looking at a full replacement bill. Catching a chip early preserves your original factory seal, stops damage from spreading, and saves you hundreds of dollars.

Our Stone Chip Repair Process

1. Assess the damage — we check chip size, location, and depth. If it is repairable, we tell you immediately.
2. Clean and prepare — moisture and debris are evacuated from the chip using a precision vacuum tool.
3. Resin injection — optical-grade resin is injected under pressure, filling the void and bonding the glass.
4. UV cure — the resin cures under UV light in minutes, restoring 90%+ of the original glass strength.
5. Polish and inspect — excess resin is trimmed and the surface polished. Most chips become nearly invisible.
6. Done in 30 minutes — your chip is stopped, factory seal preserved, and you are back on the road.
