Chip repairs come in around $60 to $120 and take roughly thirty minutes, with many comprehensive policies covering them at no deductible. You drive away immediately afterwards, because a repair leaves the factory bond intact and there is no adhesive left to cure. Come down Pondfield Road and we will assess it while you wait.

The strongest argument for repairing rather than replacing is one people rarely hear: a repair does not disturb the seal your car left the factory with. That original bond has been keeping water and wind out since the vehicle was built, and no aftermarket install, however careful, improves on an undisturbed factory windshield. Filling a chip keeps it. On a newer car it also means no cure time, no recalibration and no risk of a trim clip breaking during removal. The trade-off is that resin only works while the damage is small and reasonably fresh.
Our assessment takes two minutes and we give it straight. Under a quarter across, or a crack under about six inches sitting outside your direct line of sight, and a fill is the sensible route. Damage in the middle of your view can leave a faint mark even when done well, so we tell you that first and let you decide. Once we start, the break gets cleaned, the air drawn out under vacuum, resin forced into every leg, then cured under ultraviolet light and polished flush with the surface. Most people are surprised how little remains visible once the light has done its work.

Bronxville chips mostly arrive from the Bronx River Parkway, and the road's design explains why. It is one of the oldest parkways in the country, the lanes are narrow, the surface has been patched across generations, and there is effectively no shoulder to put distance between you and the car ahead. Everything that comes off a vehicle in front lands on the vehicle behind, and at parkway speed it arrives with real force. Commuters running it daily from the village pick up small, clean stone strikes that are perfect repair candidates if they are dealt with promptly. Leave one through a winter of freezing nights and hot defrosters and it becomes a windshield instead, which is a considerably longer conversation and a considerably larger invoice.

Honestly, no. Edge cracks are the one type we will not attempt, because the perimeter of a windshield carries the structural bond and damage there tends to run again under load however well it is filled. Selling you a fill that fails in a month helps nobody. When we see an edge crack we say replacement, and explain why we are saying it.
A properly repaired chip outside the driver's critical viewing area is normally fine, and repair is generally preferable to leaving damage untouched. What causes problems at inspection is a crack running through the swept area of the wipers or across your line of sight. If your inspection is coming up, mention it and we will tell you plainly whether a fill will be enough.
