If that piece of rock grows and obscures your view out the windshield, you may have to pay a fine, as it is illegal for anything, including a sizable piece of rock, to obstruct your view.

Common Windshield Chip Repair Apologies

Some of the more common excuses for putting off fixing that innocent little chip include:

o It is simply superficial; I can live with that.
o I don’t have the money right now.
o I am too busy to take my car and not have it while it is being repaired.

Fortunately, there is a way to get around all these challenges:

o Actually, windshield chip repair is not just cosmetic; it can be harmful and cause the value of your car to drop.
o You can repair most rock chips for less than $100 at a reputable windshield repair company.
o Many auto glass repair companies provide mobile windshield chip repair and will come to your home or office and repair your windshield without interrupting your schedule.

Waiting for windshield repair will put a hole in your wallet

Keep in mind that the longer you wait to have your windshield chip repaired, the greater the risk of the chip developing into a crack. With varying temperatures (and those hot summer days are terrible for a chipped windshield) and the vibrations your car experiences while driving, that chip is in danger every day.

If money is your excuse for not getting your windshield repaired, think again. Mobile windshield repair is up to 80 percent cheaper than replacing a windshield, and it’s also greener. Car windshields cannot be recycled, so they sit in landfills and take up space. Most mobile windshield repair companies also guarantee the work on your chip, so you know it won’t cost you more money in the future.

Keep in mind that windshield chip repair is ideal for rock chips the size of a quarter or smaller. If it’s larger than this, you may need to replace the windshield, so let our windshield crack repair experts evaluate the chip to tell you what the real costs will be.
