Auto Glass & Windshield Chip Repair in Phoenix
Windshield chip repair
Fix the chip before it becomes a crack
A rock chip doesn't have to mean a new windshield. Blue Chip Auto Glass provides windshield repair, rock chip repair and auto glass repair in Phoenix and surrounding cities. We inject clear resin into the break and cure it with UV light, which restores the glass's strength and stops the damage from spreading.
A repair keeps your original factory windshield and its seal, costs about 90% less than a replacement on average, and is often covered by insurance with no deductible.

Identify your damage
What kind of chip do you have?
Most rock chips fall into one of these types. If a U.S. quarter covers all of it, it can usually be repaired.
RepairableBullseye
A round, dark circle where the outer layer of glass broke away. Usually repairable.
RepairableStar break
Small cracks spreading out from the impact point. Repairable when a quarter covers all of it.
RepairableCombination break
A bullseye with cracks coming off it. Usually repairable if it's smaller than a quarter.
RepairableHalf-moon
A partial bullseye, shaped like a half circle. Usually repairable.

We generally repair chips no larger than a quarter, so most cracks need a new windshield. Send us a photo and we'll take a look.

From our shop
A chip repair, up close
The repair bridge sits on the glass with suction cups, centered over the chip. The injector seals over the break, pulls the air out and pushes clear resin into every crack, then the resin is cured with UV light.

What to expect
What a chip repair does, honestly
Stabilizes the damage
The main goal: resin fills the break and bonds the glass, helping stop the chip from spreading and restoring some of its strength.
Saves you money
No expensive windshield, labor or recalibration cost.
Looks better, usually
Sometimes the chip almost disappears. Other times a small mark remains. Cosmetic improvement is a bonus, not a guarantee.
A small risk, explained up front
A chip is already weakened glass, and it can occasionally spread during the repair. We take precautions and explain this before we start.
Before your repair
Do this now so it doesn't spread
Arizona is hard on chipped windshields. Big temperature swings and hot glass turn chips into cracks fast.
- 1
Cover it with clear tape
Keeps dirt and water out of the break, which helps the repair come out clearer.
- 2
Park in the shade
Arizona sun heats the glass fast, and heat is what makes a chip crack and spread.
- 3
Go easy on the AC and defrost
Don't blast hot or cold air straight at the windshield. Sudden temperature changes spread chips.
- 4
Skip the car wash
High-pressure water and soap can push into the break and make it spread.
- 5
Don't slam the doors
The shock travels through the glass and can turn a chip into a crack.
- 6
Get it fixed in a few days
The sooner we repair it, the better it looks and the less likely it spreads.

How long does a chip repair take?
Most chip repairs take less than 30 minutes, and you can drive the car right away.
Will insurance pay for my chip repair?
Most insurance companies cover chip repairs, and many waive the deductible because a repair saves them a replacement. We'll check your coverage with you.
Will the chip disappear completely?
Every chip is different. Sometimes the damage becomes virtually invisible; other times a small mark remains. The main purpose of a repair is to stabilize the damage and help keep it from spreading.
How large of a chip can you repair?
We generally repair chips no larger than the size of a quarter, as long as the damage meets our other repairability criteria. Larger damage and most cracks need a new windshield.
Can a chip spread during the repair?
Occasionally, yes. A chip is already weakened glass, and drilling and pressure can make it spread. Our technicians take precautions, and we explain this before we start.
Can you repair a chip in the driver's line of sight?
Often, yes. Even a successful repair can leave a small visible mark. As long as that mark won't be in a spot that distracts you while you drive, we can still repair it.
Is it safe to drive with a chipped windshield?
For a short time, yes, but get it repaired soon. Arizona heat and bumpy roads can turn a chip into a crack quickly, and then it can't be repaired.
