Thirty minutes and $60 to $130, and comprehensive policies frequently pay for it outright. If the chip is smaller than a quarter and out of your direct sight line, resin stops it there for good. From Throggs Neck you do not even have to make the trip: the van fills chips at your curb for the same price.

The repair works by removing what makes a chip spread. Impact damage is a small cone of broken glass with air trapped inside it, and that air is why the mark grows every time the panel flexes over a bump or the temperature swings twenty degrees. We vacuum the air out, drive resin into the space, and cure it hard. Nothing is cut, the factory bond and seal remain exactly as they were, and any camera mounted to the glass keeps the aim it was calibrated to hold.
The reason to move quickly is that the window for doing this closes on its own. Grit and road film settle into an open chip within a few days and get in the way of a clean fill. Water gets in, freezes overnight and pushes the damage outward without any help. And once a leg has run out from the centre, or the mark has drifted into the band your wipers clear, we stop offering the fill and quote a replacement instead. Thirty minutes and $60 to $130 today, or $200 to $500 after a cold snap. Describe the damage over the phone and we will tell you honestly which one you are still eligible for.
“Best price for my 2008 CRV windshield, no haggle. I had called 7 other places. COME HERE FIRST.”

Chips get ignored longer in Throggs Neck than almost anywhere we cover, and the reason is entirely practical. When the shop is nine miles off and the car is needed every single day, a mark the size of a pea never quite justifies the round trip. Then the car spends the winter parked outdoors on a driveway, taking the full freeze and thaw with a blast of hot defroster air on top, and by March it is a replacement. This is the exact job the van was meant for. A chip fill needs no lifting, no panel removal and no shop equipment, only dry weather and access to the outside of the glass, so we can do it while the car sits at your house for the price you would pay at the counter.

It depends on what it left behind. A single impact point from a falling limb often behaves like any other chip and fills normally. What does not repair is a long crack, or damage spread across several points from one heavy hit, which is common when something substantial lands on the glass. Send a photo or describe it on the phone and we will tell you which of the two you have.
Glass claims are handled differently from at-fault accident claims and comprehensive repair is normally treated as a no-deductible item, which is why insurers would rather fund resin now than a whole windshield later. We file it for you. If you would prefer to leave the policy alone entirely, the cash price is $60 to $130 and there is no paperwork at all.
