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:
- Damage Assessment: Our technician inspects the chip or crack to confirm it is repairable and identifies the damage type.
- Cleaning: The damaged area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris or moisture that could interfere with the repair.
- Resin Injection: A specialized optical resin is precisely injected into the chip using a vacuum applicator, filling the damage and bonding to the glass.
- UV Curing: The resin is hardened using an ultraviolet light, creating a strong, clear bond that restores structural integrity.
- 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.
When Windshield Chip Repair Is Possible ?
- Chip size is small – Typically smaller than a loonie (≈1 inch diameter)
- Crack length is limited – Usually under 3 inches (some cases up to ~6 inches depending on type)
- Damage is not in driver’s line of sight – Repairs here can distort visibility—replacement is safer
- Chip is not at the edge of the windshield – Edge damage weakens structural integrity → often requires replacement
- Only the outer glass layer is affected – If damage penetrates multiple layers, replacement is needed
- No contamination in the chip/crack – Dirt, water, or debris inside reduces repair effectiveness
- Damage is recent – Fresh chips repair better before spreading or collecting debris
- No spreading or spidering cracks – Stable chips are repairable; expanding cracks are not
- Single point of impact – Multiple chips or complex cracks usually require replacement
- No previous failed repair attempts – Repaired areas are harder to fix again properly
If multiple conditions above aren’t met, windshield replacement is typically the safer, more durable and cost-effective solution than attempting multiple repairs. With comprehensive insurance, windshield replacement may be covered at $0 out-of-pocket. Our team provides a free assessment to determine whether your windshield needs repair or replacement.
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.
