How do we repair windshield chips?
First we assess the chip and surrounding area to ensure there aren't shards of glass, debris, or any moisture inside of the damaged area. After that we use state of the art windshield repair tools to suck out the air in the cracks/chip and then we fill it with high quality resin. Once that resin is cured we fill in the pit at the point of impact to make the outside of the glass level again.
How do I know if my paint chip can be repaired?
If the damage is under 6 inches long
If the impact point is smaller than a dime
If there are 3 chips or less
If the damage does not block a camera or a sensor
Will insurance cover my windshield chip?
That all depends on your auto insurance policy and the fine print it entails. Though we do not directly charge insurance companies or their third-party affiliates, we can provide you with a pictures of the chip and a receipt upon completing the repair that you can turn into your insurance so they can reimburse you.
Meaning, if your policy covers windshield chips you can send the receipt over and get reimbursed. That way you technically didn't spend any money on the repair.
Though we cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed, most people with glass coverage on their policies get reimbursed with no issues.

What aren't the bigger companies telling me?
At Ding Doctor Auto Spa, we take pride in our transparency and customer education. We often take the time to explain the potential risks involved with certain services we offer so that there is clear communication before, during, and after our appointments with customers. With that being said, here is a disclosure when it comes to fixing windshield chips. Upon filling out our contact form we will require a signature stating that you have read and understand this passage.
*When it comes to the repair process, we often have to add a small amount of pressure on the impacted area before and during the repair. In rare cases, the structural integrity of the windshield could already be compromised and cause further cracking when that pressure is applied. In the off chance of this happening, you would need a new windshield (which is a service we do not offer). Another thing worth mentioning is that depending on the severity of your damage, there is a chance that the damage can still spread even if the chip is filled with resin.*
We have fixed hundreds of windshield chips with no issues, but the possibility of these particular issues are worth noting. Please keep in mind that this passage is not meant to scare, but to educate our customers.
Are windshield chips supposed to come out completely perfect? What should I expect from the repair?
A general rule of thumb that we like to tell our customers is that windshield chips typically come out 80%-90% better. The percentage range can vary depending on the severity of the chip. Repairing windshield chips is more so focused on reestablishing the structural integrity of the windshield and reestablishing driver safety rather than making the damage completely invisible. Just because its not perfect, doesn't mean its not high quality. When the repair is finished you may still see where the repair took place. This is why we like to tell customers to expect an 80%-90% improvement in their windshield chip.
