Stone chip repair is a quick process that injects a clear resin into the damaged area. The resin cures under UV light, restoring strength and preventing the chip from spreading. The whole job often takes less than 30 minutes.
Replacement becomes necessary when the damage is too large, too deep or located where it affects visibility or structural integrity. A new windshield is also recommended if the glass has multiple cracks or previous repairs.
Repair is almost always the cheaper and faster option, and it preserves the original factory seal. However, safety comes first. Our technicians will always recommend replacement if a repair won't give you a safe, lasting result.
