Usually, yes, if you act before it spreads.
We use the strongest repair resins in the industry, injected deep into the impact point to restore the strength of the glass and stop the crack from running. We recommend repairing any break smaller than a quarter that is outside the driver's primary viewing area. Repairs do not disappear completely, and we will tell you that up front. They clear up in most cases, but the purpose of a repair is to restore strength and prevent spreading, and that is what you get on every job.
A repair keeps your original factory seal, costs a fraction of a replacement and is done in about thirty minutes at your home or workplace anywhere in Pierce County.
One thing Mike tells every customer: a rock chip repair is a structural fix, not a cosmetic one. Some chips clear up eighty or ninety percent, some only ten percent, depending on how well the break takes the resin. Expect to still see a mark. What you will not see is the chip growing into a crack across the glass.

Gravel trucks on SR-410 and SR-162, chip-sealed county roads and logging traffic out toward Graham and Eatonville chip a lot of glass in Pierce County. There is never a good time for it, and driving around with a spreading crack is not safe. So we come to you: your driveway in Orting, your office lot on South Hill, your job site in Frederickson.
We are a local Pierce County mobile windshield repair company for:
Not every mark is a chip. A surface pit looks like a hit but is really a scratch or imperfection on the outer glass, and it is nothing to worry about. Send a photo and we will tell you which one you have.
Right after a chip: get it scheduled, cover the impact point with clear tape to keep moisture and debris out, skip the car wash and avoid blasting the defroster on it. Cold glass with hot air on it expands and turns a chip into a crack, and a hot windshield in summer flexes more and does the same. Cracks that start at the edge of the glass are usually a rock strike right at the edge, or occasionally a manufacturing issue where the urethane was too stiff for the vehicle.

What Pierce County drivers ask us before booking a chip repair. More in the full FAQ.
About thirty minutes per chip, done at your home or workplace. You can drive immediately after the repair.
Most carriers cover chip repair in full under comprehensive coverage, with no deductible, because it saves them the cost of a replacement. If you only carry liability, you pay out of pocket, and we keep the price straightforward. We verify your coverage and handle the claim.
A straightforward per-chip price with no mobile service fee or add-ons, and most insurers cover chip repair in full with no deductible. We are a local small business and the price we quote is the price you pay.
No, but they will prefer a repair when the damage is smaller than a dollar bill, because it saves time and money and keeps the factory seal intact. If the damage is beyond repair guidelines we will say so and explain the replacement options.
Not completely. Most repairs clear up significantly, but a faint mark usually remains. The repair restores the strength of the windshield and stops the crack from spreading, which is the point.
Cracks longer than a few inches, cracks that reach the edge of the glass and damage directly in the driver's line of sight generally need a replacement. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
A plain chip is a small impact point with one short crack off it. A star break has a larger impact point with several legs. A bullseye is a clean circle around the impact, like an eye. A combination break has both a bullseye and legs. A surface pit only looks like a chip; it is a scratch on the outer glass and nothing to worry about. A crack is any break that has started to run, and once it reaches the edge or the driver's view the windshield needs replacing.
Usually temperature. A cold windshield with the defroster blasting on it expands fast, and the chip lets go. The same happens in summer heat, when hot glass flexes more as you drive. Until the chip is repaired, cover it, avoid the defroster on that spot and stay out of the car wash.
