Fix It Now Before It Spreads

That small chip in your windshield is not going to stay small. Texas heat, cold nights, road vibrations, and one more bump will turn a quarter-sized chip into a foot-long crack. Once it spreads, you are looking at a full windshield replacement that costs three to four times more than a simple repair.

We repair windshield chips quickly and permanently. Most repairs take 30 minutes. You drive away immediately. And if the damage ever spreads, we refund your money. No hassle. No questions.

The repair itself is straightforward. We inject a specialized resin into the chip that bonds with the glass and restores structural integrity. The resin cures in minutes and stops the damage from spreading. You keep your original factory windshield, which is stronger and fits better than any replacement glass.

Do not wait. The longer you wait, the more likely that chip turns into a crack. Texas roads are rough. Temperature swings are extreme. One more pothole and you will need a full replacement.

Why Choose Local Experts Over National Chains

Safelite charges more and sends technicians who learned the job last month. We charge $130 and send professionals with 30 years of experience.

The national chains rely on high turnover and entry level workers. We rely on skill and reputation. When you call us, you talk to the owner, not a call center in another state. When we show up, you get someone who has done thousands of repairs and knows the difference between a proper fix and a quick patch that will fail in three months.

We are family owned and operated. We answer to you, not corporate shareholders. Our reputation is built on doing the job right, which is why we offer a lifetime warranty. If the damage spreads after our repair, we refund your money. No excuses. No fine print.

We also service all makes and models. Check our vehicles we service page to see if we work on your car.

The Windshield Repair Process

Step 1: Inspection
We examine the damage to confirm it is repairable. If the chip is too large or in a bad location, we will tell you honestly that you need a replacement. We do not waste your time or money on repairs that will not hold.

Step 2: Cleaning
The damaged area is cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and moisture. Contaminants prevent the resin from bonding properly, so this step matters.

Step 3: Resin Injection
A specialized bridge tool is placed over the chip. We inject a high strength resin into the damaged area under controlled pressure. The resin fills the cracks and voids completely.

Step 4: Curing
The resin is cured using UV light. This takes just a few minutes. The resin hardens and bonds permanently with the glass, restoring structural integrity.

Step 5: Polishing
The surface is polished smooth. The repair is nearly invisible and the windshield is restored to full strength.

Step 6: Inspection and Warranty
We inspect the repair to ensure it is solid. You get a lifetime warranty. If the damage spreads, we refund your $130. No hassle.

Total time: About 20 minutes. You drive away immediately.

Why Repair Instead of Replace?

Repairing a chip is faster, cheaper, and better for your vehicle than replacing the windshield.

Repair Benefits:

Costs $130 vs $350-$450 for replacement
Takes 20 minutes vs 1-2 hours for replacement
Keeps your original factory windshield (stronger bond, better fit)
No recalibration needed (replacement often requires ADAS recalibration)
Drive away immediately (replacement requires 1 hour cure time)
Environmentally friendly (no windshield waste)

If your original windshield can be saved with a repair, that is always the better option.

Cash or Card Only for Chip Repairs

We do not process insurance claims for windshield chip repairs. Insurance paperwork costs more than the repair itself, so we keep it simple. Pay $130 cash or card and you are done.

If you need a full windshield replacement, we work with all major insurance carriers and bill them directly. But for quick chip repairs, cash or card is faster and easier for everyone.

Lifetime Warranty Against Spreading

We stand behind our repairs with a lifetime warranty. If the damage spreads after we repair it, we refund your $130. No questions. No hassle.

We have been doing this for 30 years. Properly repaired chips do not spread. But sometimes a chip is in that perfect spot on the glass where all the tension on that spot and as soon as you start working on the repair the crack spreads out. It is very rare but it does happen. We have a 99% success rate with chip repairs. But if something goes wrong with our repair, we make it right.

New damage from another rock or accident is not covered (that is life on Texas roads). But if our repair fails, you get your money back.

Fix It Now Before It Gets Worse

Windshield chips do not heal themselves. They spread. The question is not if it will get worse, but when.

Texas heat expands the glass. Cold nights contract it. Every bump in the road flexes the windshield. That chip turns into a crack, and that crack keeps growing until your windshield is compromised.

For $130 and 20 minutes, you can fix it permanently and keep your original factory windshield. Or you can wait, watch it spread, and pay $350-$450 for a full replacement.
