Windshield Chip Repair
Get the best and affordable windshield chip repair services in San Jose and Hayward
A windshield chip is a small scratch in the windshield that can happen if you apply too much force to wipe your windshield clean or bump it while driving. The damage caused by a chip ranges from small dents and scratches to large cracks that can cause vision impairment. Chip repair is an affordable option for repairing small chips, but larger cracks require the replacement of the entire windshield.
Other repair options include epoxy, silicone, and tape. All of these methods come with their own benefits and drawbacks. Epoxy is strong and sticks well, but it can be time-consuming to apply and can be difficult to remove. Silicone is flexible and easy to apply, but it’s not as strong as epoxy. Tape is inexpensive and easy to remove, but it can leave behind a residue that may attract more dirt and scratch over time. Each method has its pros and cons so it’s important to do your research before choosing one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is windshield chip repair?
Windshield chip repair is a process that involves filling and sealing small chips or cracks in a windshield. It is a cost-effective method to prevent the damage from spreading and to restore the structural integrity of the glass.
Q: Can all chips and cracks be repaired?
Not all chips and cracks can be repaired. The repairability of the damage depends on factors such as the size, location, and type of the chip or crack. Generally, small chips, bullseye damage, and short cracks can be effectively repaired. However, extensive or long cracks that extend across the windshield may require windshield replacement.
How long does it take to repair a windshield chip?
Windshield chip repairs typically take around 30 minutes to an hour to complete. The duration may vary based on the complexity of the damage and the specific repair techniques used. It’s a relatively quick process that can be done while you wait at a repair shop or through a mobile repair service.
Q: Will the repaired chip be completely invisible?
While windshield chip repairs aim to improve the appearance of the damaged area, it’s important to note that the repair may not be completely invisible. The purpose of the repair is to prevent the damage from spreading and to restore the structural integrity of the glass. While the repaired chip may still be slightly visible, it should be significantly less noticeable than the original damage.
Can I wash my vehicle after a windshield chip repair?
It’s generally recommended to avoid washing your vehicle for at least 24 hours after a windshield chip repair. This allows the repair materials to properly cure and set. Washing the vehicle too soon or using high-pressure water can potentially damage the repair. Always follow the instructions provided by the repair technician regarding post-repair care.

The key to making it right is finding a professional who has experience with windshield repair.
There are a few different ways you can go about getting your windshield chip repaired. You can have the actual crack filled with epoxy resin or a piece of composite glass put in its place. This is usually the most expensive option but also the most effective way of fixing the problem.
