Is windshield chip repair covered by insurance?
For insurance customers with comprehensive coverage, crack repair is usually fully covered at no out-of-pocket cost — no deductible, no rate increase. For out-of-pocket customers, we confirm your price before starting any work.
Why insurers cover it
A repair done early keeps the chip from turning into a crack that needs a full replacement — which costs the insurer far more. That is why many carriers waive the deductible for a chip repair, while a replacement is usually subject to it.
How we handle the claim
We confirm your coverage, open the claim and bill the carrier directly, and file it for you at no charge. Chip repair is done at the shop or at your location, usually in under 30 minutes, and there is no cure time — you can drive away as soon as it is finished.
When a chip cannot be repaired
Single cracks up to 6 inches long can typically be repaired, provided they have not reached the edge of the glass, are not branching, and are outside the driver's primary viewing area. Cracks longer than 6 inches, edge cracks, or cracks in the driver's line of sight generally require full windshield replacement. Our technician assesses the crack on-site and advises you honestly.
