Repairable: Crack under 6 inches long
Repairable: Single-line crack not in driver's direct sightline
Repairable: Damage away from the windshield edge
Replace: Crack longer than 6 inches

Replace: Impact with missing glass (bullseye void)

Why Repair Before It Spreads

A Chip Today, a Crack Tomorrow

Memphis summers put extreme thermal stress on windshield glass, temperatures inside a parked car can hit 160°F, and the glass expands and contracts daily. A small chip is a stress concentration point. One hard stop, a car wash, or even a cold rain can turn a $0 repair into a $400 replacement overnight.

I-40 and I-240 are well-known for kicked-up gravel from semis. If you drive these regularly, get chips fixed promptly.

How Chip Repair Works

Resin injection, the same process dealer service centers use, done in under 30 minutes.

01

Assess the Damage

We measure chip size, check location relative to the driver's sightline, inspect for branching or edge proximity, and tell you upfront whether repair or replacement is the right call.

02

Clean & Prepare

The chip area is cleaned and dried. Any loose glass fragments are removed carefully so the resin can penetrate fully. Moisture is the enemy of a good bond, we don't skip this.

03

Resin Injection

A vacuum bridge is placed over the chip and air is evacuated. Optical resin is then injected under pressure, filling the chip cavity and any cracks radiating from it.

04

UV Cure & Polish

UV light cures the resin to match the hardness of your windshield glass. The cured resin is polished flush with the glass surface. Drive-away immediately, no wait time.

Tennessee law applies

Chip Repair Is Usually Covered at $0

Comprehensive coverage covers chip repair with zero deductible in Tennessee under most policies. It costs the insurer far less to pay for a repair than a future replacement. We verify your coverage and file the claim, you just show up.

Chip & Crack Repair: Frequently Asked Questions

How long does windshield chip repair take?
Most chip repairs take 20-30 minutes. The resin injection process involves cleaning the damaged area, inserting a vacuum bridge over the chip, injecting resin under pressure, and then curing with UV light. There is no drive-away wait time after a repair, you can leave immediately.
Can any chip or crack be repaired, or will I need a full replacement?
Chips smaller than a quarter and cracks under 6 inches long are generally repairable if they are not in the driver's primary line of sight and have not reached the edge of the windshield. Once a crack is longer than 6 inches, has branched, is within a few inches of the edge, or is directly in front of the driver, replacement is the right call. We'll tell you honestly which your situation requires.
Does insurance cover chip repair in Tennessee?
Yes. Comprehensive auto insurance almost always covers chip and crack repair with zero deductible, the repair is far less expensive than a replacement claim for the insurer, so most carriers cover it fully. Tennessee law requires insurers to waive the deductible on auto glass claims under comprehensive coverage. We verify your coverage and file the claim on your behalf.
Will the repair be invisible after it's done?
Resin injection significantly improves optical clarity and stops the crack from spreading, but the repair may still be slightly visible under certain lighting. A properly performed repair should not distort your view. Some chips, particularly those with missing glass or extensive webbing, cannot achieve optical clarity, and we'll tell you that upfront.
What happens if I ignore a small chip?
Road vibration, temperature swings, and car wash pressure can turn a repairable chip into an unrepairable crack quickly. Memphis heat cycles are particularly harsh on glass, the glass expands and contracts daily and a chip is a stress point. A $0 repair today beats a $300-$500 replacement in two weeks.
