Rock Chip Repair

Rock chips may seem like minor annoyances, but they can compromise the integrity of your windshield and impact visibility, especially in challenging weather. These small damages are often caused by loose gravel, debris, or rocks hitting the glass at high speed. Quick repairs not only prevent further damage but also maintain the strength and clarity of your windshield.

What Is a Rock Chip Repair?

Rock chip repair is a process where resin is injected into the chip or crack to fill and seal the damaged area. This solution restores windshield strength and keeps the chip from expanding. The resin hardens to create a strong, clear bond that’s less visible and safer than an untreated chip. With rock chip repair, you maintain your vehicle’s safety features without the hassle and expense of full replacement, making it a smart choice for small-scale windshield damage.

The Valley Glass Rock Chip Repair Process

At Valley Glass, we make the rock chip repair process efficient and thorough to restore your windshield’s integrity and clarity quickly. First, our technicians perform an assessment of the chip to determine if repair is possible. This involves evaluating the size, depth, and location of the chip, ensuring it’s within repairable limits. If deemed repairable, we move forward with careful cleaning of the damaged area to remove debris and prepare the surface for a secure bond.

Next, we inject a high-quality resin into the chip, carefully filling all gaps within the damaged area. This resin is then cured using UV light, hardening into a clear, durable bond that holds the glass together and prevents further cracking. The curing process typically takes only a few minutes but provides a lasting result.

The entire repair process usually takes less than 30 minutes, allowing you to get back on the road in no time. Customers can expect a clear, strong repair that minimizes the chip’s visibility and strengthens the windshield. Plus, we handle repairs with precision and care to ensure your safety and satisfaction with the results.

When Is Replacement Needed Instead of Repair?

While rock chip repairs are effective for minor damage, there are cases where a full windshield replacement is necessary. Generally, chips that are larger than a quarter, or cracks longer than a few inches, compromise the windshield’s structural integrity and require replacement. The location of the damage also matters. If a chip or crack obstructs the driver’s line of sight, replacement is often recommended to maintain optimal visibility and safety.

Certain types of damage, like star-shaped cracks, deep edge chips, or cracks reaching the windshield’s edges, can weaken the windshield and may not be fully repairable. These cases demand a replacement to ensure your windshield can properly support the structure of your vehicle and deploy airbags correctly in case of an accident. Knowing these guidelines can help you make the safest choice and keep your vehicle’s safety features functioning as intended.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Insurance and Affordability

Many insurance policies cover rock chip repairs, often at little to no cost to the vehicle owner. Repairing a chip early not only prevents further windshield damage but can also be a financially smart decision, as most insurers prefer to cover affordable repairs rather than a full replacement. Checking with your insurance provider about coverage details is a great first step to understanding what costs, if any, you may incur.

For those paying out of pocket, rock chip repairs are generally affordable, especially when compared to the cost of a new windshield. Valley Glass offers competitive pricing and often provides discounts on repairs for multiple chips. Quick, cost-effective rock chip repairs are a great option to preserve your windshield and protect against more significant costs down the road.
