Can My Windshield Chip Be Repaired?

Got a windshield chip? Not sure if it can be repaired or not? In most cases, yes it can be repaired. Rock chips are annoying, never expected and rarely a convenience.

Sometimes a full windshield replacement is the only answer. But at Dynamo Windshield Repair, if a rock chip is smaller than 2 inches or a crack is 8 inches or smaller, a quick windshield repair may be all that you need.

Who can repair my windshield chip?

Most auto glass shops, body shops and even some automotive dealerships should be able to repair the rock chips in your windshield. It’s always a good idea to check reviews online for more information about a company and whether they provide high-quality workmanship. We specialize in rock chip repairs in Edmonton and would love to help!

What kind of windshield damage can be repaired?

We can repair your windshield when:

• The rock chip is 2 inches or smaller in diameter
• The windshield crack is 8 inches or smaller in length
• The damage is not in front of a camera or a sensor

Our certified windshield repair experts service windshields on all types of vehicles for both residential and commercial customers. 

When should I repair my windshield?

As soon as possible! No, seriously. The best time to repair your windshield is right away. We understand that everyone is busy and a rock chip repair might not rank high on your to-do list. We do recommend putting some tape over top of the chip until you have a chance to have your windshield repaired by a professional. It is better to repair your windshield before it’s too late and that small chip spreads into a long crack, costing you a replacement.

Why should I repair my windshield sooner rather than later?

• Rock chip repairs are affordable and cost the fraction of what a replacement would cost
• A small chip will eventually turn into a large crack
• Repairing a windshield can usually be done in just 30 minutes
• Dynamo uses only the highest quality materials and equipment
• Windshield repairs are backed by our lifetime warranty

How is my windshield chip repaired?
