It is for any driver with a fresh bullseye, star or small crack, and it takes about half an hour at your home or workplace. When it is done, the chip is sealed, much harder to see, and no longer growing.
The technician cleans loose glass and dirt out of the break, then mounts a bridge tool over it. The tool pulls a vacuum to get air out of the chip and pushes resin into every leg of the break.
A UV lamp cures the resin hard, and the surface is scraped flush and polished. You can drive right away, and there is no adhesive cure time like there is with a new windshield.
A windshield is two layers of glass with a plastic layer between them. A rock knocks out a tiny piece of the outer layer, and the edges of that break are weak points.
Heat makes glass expand. A windshield that bakes in a beach parking lot and then gets hit with cold air conditioning flexes unevenly, and the chip is where it gives. Potholes and bridge joints add more stress.
The number of chips, their size, and how dirty they are all change the job. Several chips in one visit is more work than one clean bullseye.
Many insurers cover chip repair in full because it is far less than paying for a new windshield. Call for a free quote and we will check your coverage before we start.

No, but it gets much harder to see. Most repaired chips fade to a faint mark, and the main goal is that the break is sealed and will not spread.
We can repair a single crack up to about six inches long if it is not at the edge of the glass. Longer cracks, or cracks that started at the edge, need a new windshield.
Clear tape over a fresh chip keeps dirt and water out until we get there, which helps the resin bond. Do not use glue or a drugstore kit if you plan to have it professionally repaired.
Yes. We shade the glass while we work because resin cures fastest under UV light and flows best when the glass is not scorching hot.
