Catch it while it's small.
A rock chip today is a spreading crack the first cold morning. Most repairs take about an hour, keep your factory seal, and cost far less than replacement.
Northland roads throw rocks, and Northland winters turn chips into cracks. The freeze-thaw cycle works on a damaged windshield fast, which is why the best time to repair a chip is the week it happens.
Repair injects resin into the damage, restoring strength and stopping the spread. Your factory seal stays intact, which is always better than breaking it. We repair what can be repaired and only recommend replacement when safety actually requires it.
Mobile unit on a callNot everything should be repaired. Damage in the driver's line of sight or at the glass edge may call for replacement, and we will say so.
The chip is cleaned, filled under pressure, and cured to restore the glass's strength.
A proper repair halts the crack so a small blemish stays a small blemish.
Most repairs are done while you wait, in the shop or at your location.
Many comprehensive policies waive the deductible entirely for chip repair.
If a repair will not hold, we quote the replacement honestly instead of selling you one twice.
A quick look, in person or from a photo, tells us whether repair is the right call.

This is a guide, not a final answer. Glass damage behaves differently depending on the layer it reached, how long it has been open to dirt and moisture, and what the vehicle needs. The technician who looks at it makes the call, and we will tell you if the cheaper option is the right one.
New glass with quality materials, proper cure time, and in-house recalibration.

Learn MoreRepair restores strength and stops the damage from spreading, and it usually improves the appearance a great deal, but a faint mark can remain. The goal is safety and stopping the crack, not invisibility.
Rule of thumb: chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than a dollar bill, away from the driver's direct line of sight and the glass edge, are usually repairable. Send us a photo and we will tell you straight.
Temperature swings, potholes, and moisture all work on a chip. Around here the freeze-thaw cycle can turn a chip into a foot-long crack overnight, and once it spreads, replacement is the only option.
Many comprehensive policies waive the deductible for repair because it saves the insurer the cost of a replacement later. We can check with your carrier when you call.
