Half an hour and $60 to $130, and on a comprehensive policy it is frequently covered outright. If the chip is under the size of a quarter and not directly in front of you, resin will hold it where it is. That is less time than you would spend looking for a space on Fordham Road on a Saturday.

What we are doing in a chip repair is filling a void. The impact leaves a small cone of fractured glass with air trapped in it, and that trapped air is what lets the damage travel every time the panel flexes or the temperature swings. We pull the air out under vacuum, drive resin in to take its place, and cure it solid. The bond between glass and body is never broken, the factory seal stays exactly as it was, and any camera mounted to the windshield keeps the aim it was calibrated to.
Speed matters more than people expect. Road film and grit settle into an open chip within a few days and get in the way of a clean fill, and water that gets in and then freezes will push the damage outward on its own. Once a crack has run beyond about the length of a dollar bill, or if it sits in the band your wipers clear in front of you, the fill stops being the right call and we quote a replacement instead. So the arithmetic is worth doing early: thirty minutes and $60 to $130 now against $200 to $500 later. Describe the damage on the phone and we will tell you which it is.
“Best price for my 2008 CRV windshield, no haggle. I had called 7 other places. COME HERE FIRST.”

Webster Avenue is where most Fordham chips are collected. It carries trucks, it carries construction traffic, and long stretches of it have been patched enough times that loose stone is simply part of the surface. You take a hit at thirty miles an hour, hear it, and forget it by the next light. The neighborhood then does the rest of the work: a car that lives on the street here sits through the whole freeze-thaw cycle without a garage over it. Our hours are the practical fix. A chip repair is short enough to slot into a Sunday morning or the gap before an evening shift, and because we are only minutes from the strip you are not spending more time in traffic than in the bay. Bring it in the same week it happens and it usually stays a $60 job.

Not straight multiples, no. Additional chips on the same visit cost less than the first because the setup is already done, and we will give you the whole figure before starting. What matters more is where they sit. Several repairs clustered directly in your line of sight can leave visible distortion, and in that case we will say honestly that a replacement is the better outcome.
The same week if you can manage it, and sooner in winter. A fresh chip is clean inside and fills almost invisibly. One that has sat a month is full of road grime and holds moisture, both of which weaken the repair. If a leg has already started to run out from the centre, call anyway, because there is a short window where we can still stop it.
