Windshield Repair
Quick and effective chip and crack repair to save your windshield
Expert Windshield Repair Services
Small chips and cracks in your windshield may seem minor, but they can spread quickly, compromising your visibility and the structural integrity of your vehicle. At ShowTime Auto Glass, our advanced chip and crack repair technology can restore your windshield's strength and prevent further damage.
Our repair process uses specialized resin that fills and seals the damaged area, restoring the structural integrity of your windshield and improving optical clarity. Most repairs take less than 30 minutes and can save you the cost of a full windshield replacement.
Acting quickly is essential—small chips and cracks can spread rapidly due to temperature changes, road vibrations, or even simply driving. Don't wait until a simple repair becomes a necessary replacement.
When to Repair vs. Replace
Ideal for Repair
- Chips smaller than a quarter
Small chips that haven't started to spread can typically be repaired quickly and effectively.
- Cracks shorter than 6 inches
Single-line cracks that are shorter than 6 inches and haven't spread can often be repaired.
- Damage away from edges
Damage that's at least 2 inches from the edge of the windshield can typically be repaired more successfully.
- Damage outside driver's line of sight
Repairs that aren't directly in the driver's primary viewing area often yield better results.
Needs Replacement
- Large or complex cracks
Cracks longer than 6 inches or with multiple branches typically require full replacement.
- Edge damage
Damage that extends to or originates from the edge of the windshield often compromises structural integrity.
- Multiple points of damage
When your windshield has many chips or cracks, replacement is often the safer option.
- Inner layer damage
If the damage has penetrated both layers of the windshield, a replacement is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a windshield repair take?
Most windshield repairs take about 30 minutes to complete. The repair is ready immediately—there's no waiting period before you can drive your vehicle.
Will the chip or crack be completely invisible after repair?
While our repairs significantly improve the appearance of damage, a slight mark may remain visible in some cases. However, the structural integrity of your windshield will be restored, and the repair will prevent the damage from spreading.
Why should I fix a small chip right away?
Small chips can quickly spread into larger cracks due to temperature changes, road vibrations, and normal driving stress. Addressing small damage promptly is less expensive and can prevent the need for a complete windshield replacement.
Will my insurance cover windshield repair?
Most insurance companies cover windshield repairs at 100% with no deductible because it prevents them from having to pay for a more expensive windshield replacement later. We work directly with all major insurance providers.
Can you repair a crack in my line of sight?
While we can repair cracks in your line of sight, some insurance companies and state regulations may require replacement instead of repair for damage directly in the driver's field of vision. Our technicians will advise you on the best course of action.
