Windshield Repair & Rock Chip Repair in Denver

Repairable damage versus replacement damage
Chips smaller than a quarter, short single cracks, bullseyes and star breaks away from the edge are frequently repairable. Once damage reaches the edge of the glass, sits directly in the driver's viewing area, or branches into long cracks, replacement is usually the safer call.
A repair stops the damage from spreading and restores much of the strength of the glass. It will not always make the mark disappear completely, and a technician should tell you that up front.
How a rock chip repair works
The technician cleans the impact point, removes air and moisture from the break, injects a clear resin under pressure, then cures it with UV light and polishes the surface flush.
Most repairs are quick, and many can be done in a driveway or parking lot, which is why chip repair is one of the most common mobile auto glass jobs in the Denver metro.
Why Denver drivers see so many rock chips
Gravel and winter traction sand on the highways around Denver, mountain trips up I-70, and construction zones along the metro corridors all throw debris. Add the daily freeze-thaw cycle and a chip you ignore in November is often a crack by January.
If you notice a chip, keep the defroster off high heat, avoid car washes, cover the spot with clear tape to keep moisture out, and get it looked at soon.
