Rock chip on a windshield with a long crack already running away from the impact point toward the wiper cowl
A chip that was left too long. The crack has already run past the point where a repair would hold.

What can be repaired

  • Bullseyes, half-moons, star breaks and combination breaks up to roughly the size of a quarter.
  • Single cracks shorter than about six inches that have not reached the edge of the glass.
  • Damage outside the driver's direct line of sight — a repair leaves a faint blemish, and it should not sit where you are looking.
  • Damage that has not been filled with dirt, wax or rainwater for months. Fresh breaks bond best.

Why waiting costs you a whole windshield

  • Glass expands and contracts. A chip is a stress concentrator, and every hot-to-cold cycle works it.
  • Defrost on a frozen windshield is the single most common way a repairable chip becomes a running crack.
  • A pothole or a slammed door can be enough once the laminate is broken.
  • Once it passes six inches or touches the edge, the repair option is gone and you are buying glass.

About rock chip & crack repair

How much does a rock chip repair cost?

Every job is quoted individually and the quote is free — call (803) 371-2080 and describe the damage, or send a photo. In South Carolina, comprehensive policies are required to cover safety glass repair without applying your deductible, so for a lot of SC drivers the out-of-pocket cost is nothing.

Will the chip disappear completely?

No, and be suspicious of anyone who promises that. A proper resin repair restores the structural integrity of the laminate and stops the damage spreading, and it typically improves the appearance by 80 to 95%. You will usually still see a faint mark if you look for it.

How long does a chip repair take?

About 30 minutes on site, start to finish, and you can drive immediately afterward. There is no cure time to wait out the way there is with a replacement.

How many chips can be repaired on one windshield?

Several, as long as they are not clustered together and none of them are in the driver's critical viewing area. If the breaks are close enough that the repaired zones would overlap, replacement is the safer call and we will tell you so.
