Windshield Chip & Crack Repair, Done Properly.

A small chip can become a 14-inch crack overnight in a Carbon County cold snap. Repair catches it before it spreads. We clean the impact, mount a vacuum injector over the damage, force UV-cured optical resin into the void, cure it, and polish flush. The chip is structurally sealed and won't spread — and the windshield is restored to ~90–95% of its original strength.

Pennsylvania doesn't legally require insurers to waive your deductible for glass repair, but most comprehensive policies do anyway — because the insurer would rather pay for the repair now than the full replacement later. We bill the carrier directly.

If you're not sure whether your chip is repairable, send us a photo. We'll tell you straight up — repair or replace.

How We Quote

Tell Us the Vehicle. Quote in Five Minutes.

Pricing depends on your vehicle's year, make, model, ADAS package, and (for replacement work) what kind of glass it takes. Call (570) 413-9662 or text us a photo of the damage with your year, make, and model and we'll quote you in under five minutes during business hours.

If your comprehensive auto insurance covers the work, your out-of-pocket may be $0 — we'll handle the claim and the carrier directly. No paperwork on your end.

Most local shops won't quote without a phone call and the VIN anyway. We'd rather just answer the phone.

What to Expect

Step by Step. No Mystery.

01
Assess

We inspect the chip — size, depth, location. If it's bigger than a quarter, in the driver acute area, or has reached the edge of the glass, we recommend replacement instead.

02
Clean

Impact site is cleaned of debris, glass dust, and contamination. A dry chip injects better resin than a wet or dirty one.

03
Inject

Vacuum injector mounted over the damage. UV-cured optical resin forced into every micro-crack of the void.

04
Cure + Polish

Resin cured under UV light. Excess scraped flush. Surface polished. The chip is sealed and won't spread.

05
Insurance + Receipt

If your insurance covered it, we file the claim. You get a paid receipt and a chip that won't spread.

Chip & Crack Repair FAQ.

Repair candidate if: chip is smaller than a quarter, located more than 2 inches from the edge of the glass, outside the driver's direct line of sight, and any associated crack is under about 6 inches. Anything larger, edge-located, or in the driver acute area usually needs replacement. Send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly.
Cosmetically about 80–90% improved. A faint mark may remain. The goal is structural — stopping the spread and restoring strength. We tell you up front, we don't promise invisibility.
Most comprehensive auto policies do — even in PA where it isn't legally required. Insurers prefer paying for the repair now over the full replacement later. We bill the carrier directly. Check your policy or call us with your carrier and we'll tell you.
Pennsylvania safety inspection fails any windshield with a crack, chip, or pit in the driver's acute viewing area (roughly 8.5" x 5.5" directly in front of the steering wheel). Damage outside that area is at the inspector's discretion. If your inspection is coming up and you have a chip in the wrong spot, repair or replacement is mandatory.
Honestly, no telling. We've seen chips sit for two years and chips spread overnight in a temperature swing. Carbon County winters are exactly the conditions chips don't like — cold contracts glass, warm air through your defroster expands it, and a small impact point becomes a crack across your line of sight. Fix it before it spreads.
