A chip repair takes about 30 minutes and costs $60 to $130, and with comprehensive coverage it often costs you nothing. Anything smaller than a quarter and out of your direct sightline is usually a fill, not a replacement. The resin leaves the factory seal alone, so there is no recalibration afterward and no cure wait.

Half an hour is the whole appointment. We clean the break out, pull the air from it under vacuum, push resin into the legs of the star or bullseye, cure it under UV and scrape the surface flat. What you are left with is a faint mark you have to hunt for and glass that will not keep splitting. The point of doing it early is money: a fill is $60 to $130, and a windshield is $200 to $500. Once a crack passes a couple of inches or wanders into the sweep in front of the driver, the fill stops being the right call.
Most comprehensive policies pay the full repair with no deductible, because the insurer would rather buy a fill than a windshield. We bill them directly, so you sign and go. If you are not using insurance, the price is the same one we said on the phone. Because there is no cure time on a resin repair, this is the job we can most easily bring to a Kingsbridge address instead, doing it at the curb while you finish breakfast. Thirty minutes at the curb on a quiet block, and you never move the car.
“Best price for my 2008 CRV windshield, no haggle. I had called 7 other places. COME HERE FIRST.”

Chips find Kingsbridge cars in a couple of predictable places. The Major Deegan is the big one, since the ramps are minutes away and a loaded truck two lanes over will flick a stone at sixty. The other is the stretch under the elevated line on Broadway, where anything shaken loose from the structure lands on whatever is passing below. People notice the ding at a red light on 231st Street and then forget about it for three weeks. That is the mistake. On a block that pitches uphill, the shell of the car sits under a slight twist all week, and that steady load walks a chip outward. Come in while it is still the size of a dime and half an hour ends it. Wait, and you are buying glass.

Hold a quarter over it. If the damage hides behind the coin and sits outside the area you actually look through, a fill is almost always the answer. Long single cracks running from an edge are different, and so is anything with the inner layer of glass broken. Send a photo and we will tell you before you drive down.
That is the normal way this goes. We open early every day of the week, and thirty minutes is short enough to fit before almost any shift. Kingsbridge drivers heading south over the Broadway Bridge often stop on the way. You can also have the van meet you at home, since resin needs no curing and the car is drivable the second we finish.
