Don't Let a Small Chip Become a Big Problem
A chip left alone is a windshield replacement waiting to happen. Temperature changes, road vibration, and everyday stress can turn a small chip into a crack that spans the whole windshield — sometimes overnight. In New Mexico, where summer heat and cold desert nights create extreme thermal cycling, this happens faster than most people expect.
The good news: if you catch it early, most chips can be filled and stabilized in under half an hour. The repair won't be completely invisible, but it will stop the damage from spreading — and it costs a fraction of what a replacement windshield runs.
What Chips Can Be Repaired?
Most chips smaller than a quarter can be repaired successfully — bull's-eye chips, star breaks, and small partial cracks. Chips directly in the driver's primary line of sight or cracks longer than about 6 inches typically require full replacement.
We'll take a look and give you an honest assessment before any work begins. If repair isn't the right call, we'll tell you straight.
Pricing
Single chip repair starts at $65. Additional chips on the same visit are discounted. Call or text for an exact quote — we're happy to give you a straight answer before you come in.
Common Questions About Chip Repair
Will the chip be invisible after repair?
Results vary by chip size and type. Most repairs are significantly less noticeable — and more importantly, the chip is stabilized so it won't spread.
Does insurance cover it?
Many comprehensive auto insurance policies cover windshield chip repair with no deductible. Check with your insurer — it's often fully covered.
How soon should I get it repaired?
As soon as possible. In Albuquerque's heat, chips can spread to full cracks within days. Avoid direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes until it's fixed.
What if the chip is in my line of sight?
Chips in the driver's primary line of sight may not be repairable depending on location and size. We'll let you know honestly after taking a look.
Can I drive right after?
Yes — the resin cures quickly and you'll be able to drive the vehicle immediately after the repair is complete.
