A tiny stone chip can seem harmless, but temperature swings and road vibration can turn it into a long crack overnight. The good news is that many chips can be repaired quickly and inexpensively if they are small enough and not directly in the driver's line of sight.
Windshield repair works best on chips smaller than a toonie and cracks shorter than a few inches. If the damage is near the edge, spreads across the driver's view, or penetrates both layers of glass, replacement is usually the safer choice.
At Auto Glass Plus in Newmarket, we inspect every chip honestly and recommend repair when it makes sense. Most comprehensive insurance policies cover chip repair with no deductible, making it an easy decision.
If you're unsure, stop by or send us a photo. We'll tell you whether repair or replacement is the right call.
