Please be aware a rock chip is actually broken glass. The repair process we use will Not make the chip completely disappear as generally you will see a small dot where the resin was injected & cured. We are working with broken glass so depending on the size of chip, the weather & amount of days the chip has been on w/s also determines how well the rock chip fills.
Windshield Repair is approved by most insurance companies, with many deferring your existing deductible and paying 100% of the repair costs as an alternative to replacement.
A Windshield Repair will normally improve the overall appearance of the broken glass by up to 80-90%, with some breaks becoming nearly invisible. Actual curing time of the resin takes up to 60 mins, depending on the lighting conditions, so you should expect to see the break slowly diminish as the resin dries inside the break.
A Windshield Repair is designed to prevent an existing break from becoming larger and traveling, however due to fact it is indeed broken glass we are working with, chip repairs can fail causing a crack in the windshield. This is unfortunate & rare, however not impossible, nor are we liable. If this happens & a chip would fail, we would not charge for the repair. In certain situations we will discount a replacement on a new windshield.
Windshield Repair is not recommended if the chip is larger than a quarter, or in the driver’s critical line of vision. Some insurance companies do not pay for repairs in “critical” areas.
Dakotaland Autoglass warrants that any repair of minor windshield chips performed by Dakotaland Autoglass will last as long as you own the vehicle. If for any reason you are not satisfied with our repair, bring your vehicle, together with your invoice, and Dakotaland Autoglass will apply the entire cost of the Windshield Repair toward the price of a new windshield purchased from Dakotaland Autoglass Inc.
In some cases, the attempt to repair a windshield may result in further breaking of the “chip” or “obstruction” in the windshield. In this event Dakotaland Autoglass cannot be held responsible for the break. It is the customers responsibility to meet any deductible amount needed if the windshield is to be replaced through your insurance company.
