Types of Damage We Fix

No matter the size or type of damage, our certified technicians have the tools and expertise to restore your glass.

🎯

Bull's-Eye Chip

A circular chip with a clean outer ring. One of the easiest to repair — typically done in under 20 minutes with excellent results.

⭐

Star Break

Short cracks radiating from the impact point. Repairable if the star is under 3 inches across. Arizona heat makes these spread fast — act quickly.

🌙

Half-Moon Chip

A partial bull's-eye, usually caused by a sharp-edged rock. Highly repairable with great optical results.

💎

Combination Break

Multiple chip types from one impact. Repairable if the total damage area is under 3 inches — our techs assess on-site.

🔹

Pit / Ding

A small surface pit without cracks. Quick to fill and prevents moisture from entering and weakening the glass.

〰️

Crack Chip

A chip with one or more short cracks extending from it. Repairable if cracks are under 6 inches — otherwise replacement is needed.

Our Step-by-Step Process

Simple, fast, and stress-free — from quote to done.

01

Quick Assessment

We inspect the chip size, depth, and location. Most chips under 3 inches are repairable on the spot — we'll tell you honestly if replacement is needed.

02

Cleaning & Prep

We remove any loose glass and debris from the chip, then dry the area thoroughly to ensure the resin bonds properly.

03

Resin Injection

We inject a specialized optical resin into the chip using a vacuum process that fills every crack and void completely.

04

UV Cure & Polish

The resin is cured with UV light, then polished smooth. The repair is nearly invisible and the glass is structurally restored.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my chip can be repaired or needs replacement?

Generally, chips under 3 inches in diameter and cracks under 6 inches can be repaired. Chips in the driver's direct line of sight, at the edge of the glass, or with contamination may require replacement. We'll assess it honestly on-site.

Is rock chip repair covered by insurance?

Yes! Most comprehensive insurance policies cover rock chip repair at no cost to you — no deductible. In Arizona, insurers are required to cover windshield repairs. We handle the claim for you.

How long does the repair take?

Most rock chip repairs take 20–30 minutes. You can stay in your car or go about your day — we'll come to your location.

Will the repair be visible?

After repair, the chip is significantly less visible and the glass is structurally sound. In most cases the repair is nearly invisible. We'll show you the result before we leave.

What happens if I wait too long?

In Phoenix's extreme heat, chips spread into cracks very quickly — sometimes overnight. A $0 chip repair can become a $200–$400 windshield replacement. Don't wait.

Can you repair chips on side windows or rear glass?

Rock chip repair is specifically for laminated windshield glass. Side windows and rear glass are tempered and cannot be repaired — they must be replaced if damaged.
