The most common type of auto glass damage, chips, are typically caused by small rocks or debris flying up and chipping off a piece of glass from your windshield, side window, or rear windshield.
These fractures can be quickly filled in by our repair technicians and should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further window damage from spreading
Any cracks with circular patterns that resemble a star or bullseye will make your windshield or window more vulnerable to potential shattering. (Not to mention increase its fragility.)
While star chips and bullseyes are more severe than the average window chip, repair is often possible without a full-on windshield or window replacement.
Chips are caused by various types of debris, while stress cracks tend to result from environmental circumstances, such as extreme temperature fluctuations.
Stress cracks are often found in the shape of long lines and will significantly increase the odds of your window shattering if not promptly repaired.
Do you have more than one type of windshield damage? Any combination of the above types of window damage is called a combination break.
Combination breaks should be attended to immediately, especially if it impairs vision on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
