How to Choose a Service Provider

When you need a rock chip in your windshield fixed, it is wise to choose a repair only company, such as GlassLogic.

Avoid Conflict of Interest

Replacement companies that offer rock chip repair often discourage repair as an option, preferring the more profitable windshield replacement. In many cases, their chip repairs have a high failure rate. To avoid liability, they tell the client that the cost of the failed repair can be applied to getting a new windshield installed.

Our technician will determine if your windshield is repairalbe. If it is, comprehensive insurance coverage usually pays the claim. This is called a no-fault, no-cost claim and does not affect your coverage in a negative way.

Know your Rights

Most insurance companies prefer chip repair, but a few are known to aggressively steer their clients to their own affiliated automotive glass replacement shops. The client then has to pay the deductible out-of-pocket.

Don't let this happen to you! When contacting your insurance company, know your rights. Under state and federal laws, you have the right to select your own service provider.

When to Replace

A damaged windshield is not always repairable. For your safety, if the rock chip is directly in your line of vision, you should replace it.

Some windshield chip repair companies advertise that the repaired area looks as good as new, but this is simply not true. Even though the resin dries clear, you may still be able to see a small blemish where the impact point is located. This blemish may be distracting if it is in your line of vision.

NOTE: Auto insurance claims do not cover repair of damage directly in the driver's line of vision.

Replacement Guidelines

Windshield chip repair is usually the best option. However, the glass should be replaced if it has any of the following:

• crack(s) across the entire windshield
• cracks on the inside surface of the glass
• the damage from the rock chip is directly in your line of vision
• the rock chip (bullseye, star, or combination break) is larger than 1.25"
