Windshield Chip Repair Process

Our repair process is straightforward, fast, and built around your safety. Here is what to expect when you bring your vehicle to Auto Glass Ottawa:

1. Damage Assessment: Our technician inspects the chip or crack to confirm it is repairable and identifies the damage type.
2. Cleaning: The damaged area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris or moisture that could interfere with the repair.
3. Resin Injection: A specialized optical resin is precisely injected into the chip using a vacuum applicator, filling the damage and bonding to the glass.
4. UV Curing: The resin is hardened using an ultraviolet light, creating a strong, clear bond that restores structural integrity.
5. Final Polish: The repaired surface is polished smooth, restoring optical clarity and preventing moisture from re-entering the damaged area.

The entire process takes between 30 and 60 minutes — significantly faster than a full windshield replacement, and far more affordable.

Which Types of Windshield Damage Are Repairable?

When Is a Chip Repairable?

• The damage is small enough to be covered by a loonie (Canadian dollar coin).
• You have three chips or fewer on the windshield.
• The damage does not extend to the edge of the windshield.

Types of Auto Glass Damage We Fix:

• Bullseye Chips
• Star Chips
• Combination Chips
• Half-Moon Chips
• Surface Pit Chips
• Edge Cracks
• Floater Cracks

Why Timely Windshield Repair Matters ?

A small chip may seem harmless at first glance, but delaying a repair can have serious consequences. Here is why acting quickly is always the smarter choice:

• Prevents Further Damage: A small chip can quickly spread into a large crack due to temperature changes, road vibrations, or pressure. Repairing it early keeps the problem contained and your windshield intact.
• Maintains Clear Visibility: Chips can catch sunlight or headlights at certain angles, creating dangerous glare and obstructing your field of vision. Prompt repair restores full visibility.
• Saves You Money: Repairing a chip is significantly less expensive than replacing an entire windshield. Early action protects your wallet as much as your vehicle.
• Enhances Safety: Your windshield is a structural component of your vehicle. A compromised windshield can fail during a collision. Timely repairs ensure it retains full strength and protects passengers effectively.

New Windshield Installation & Replacement in Ottawa

While windshield chip repair works for minor damage, some situations require new windshield installation. Our auto glass repair experts recommend full replacement when:

• Damage exceeds the size of a quarter
• Cracks extend from edge to edge
• Multiple damage areas exist across the windshield
• Damage obstructs the driver’s line of sight
• Previous repairs exist in the same area

A new windshield installation is often more cost-effective than attempting multiple chip repairs. Our team provides a free assessment to determine whether your vehicle needs windshield repair or replacement. With comprehensive insurance, new windshield installation may be covered at $0 out-of-pocket.
