Rock Chip Repair

Getting a rock chip in your windshield can happen quickly and without warning. Without quick attention, a small rock chip can turn into a huge crack which can also become a driving hazard if it happens in the wrong place. Here’s a look at a few more reasons you should consider a rock chip repair as soon as possible:

• Although a chipped or cracked windshield may look like it’s still functioning properly, the damage significantly weakens the strength of the windshield. That’s important because a windshield actually contributes to a car’s structural strength. In an accident such as a roll-over, or crash, the windshield helps to support the roof of the car, prevents passengers from being thrown from the vehicle, and allows airbags to deploy safely and properly. Suddenly, not repairing a windshield rock chip is potentially compromising your physical safety.
• Rock chips can obstruct your view of the road ahead, which could make it challenging for you to notice any looming safety hazards
• Rock chips are easy for a professional to repair and much more affordable than replacing a windshield—which is inevitable once those chips turn to cracks. Repairs are made by windshield technicians assessing the damage and choosing the right type of repair. After cleaning the area, applying a UV-hardened resin, and ensuring the repair is completely smooth, the windshield is as good as new.
