Why windshields chip in Stittsville

Hazeldean Road is one of the busiest roads in the west end, with constant development traffic. Chips picked up here are often small and clean — ideal for resin repair when they're fixed quickly.

Many Stittsville drivers commute on Highway 417 toward Kanata or downtown. Highway-speed stone strikes can leave chips with short cracks, which are still repairable when caught early.

Repair now, or replace later: why speed matters

A chip is a weak point in the outer layer of the glass. Every bump, temperature change and blast of the defroster puts stress on it. Most cracks we replace started as a chip that could have been repaired.

Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles make this worse. Water gets into the break, freezes, expands and pushes the damage further. A chip that's repairable in October can be a long crack by February.

Until we arrive, cover the chip with clear tape to keep out dirt and water, avoid car washes, and don't aim the defroster straight at the cold glass. If it has already spread, our windshield replacement Stittsville page explains your next step.

Can my windshield be repaired?

We'll always tell you honestly whether repair will work. As a general guide:

• Usually repairable: chips smaller than a loonie (bullseye, star break, half-moon, combination break)
• Usually repairable: single short cracks, roughly shorter than a dollar bill
• Usually not: damage directly in the driver's line of sight
• Usually not: cracks that reach the edge of the windshield
• Usually not: damage through both layers of glass, or over a camera or sensor area

Types of chips we repair

Bullseye: a round, cone-shaped break. It's usually the cleanest to repair. Star break: a small impact point with short cracks spreading out like legs. Half-moon: a partial bullseye. Combination break: a bullseye with star-like cracks. Surface pit: a tiny divot that usually doesn't need repair.

How our windshield chip repair works

A good repair restores strength to the glass and makes the damage much less visible. Here's what happens:

• 1. Inspect: we check the size, type and location of the damage and confirm repair is the right choice.
• 2. Clean: loose glass and dirt are removed from the impact point.
• 3. Inject: a bridge tool fills the break with clear repair resin under pressure, pushing out air.
• 4. Cure: the resin is hardened with ultraviolet light.
• 5. Finish: excess resin is scraped away and the surface is polished smooth.

What a repaired chip looks like

Repair makes most chips much harder to see, but it doesn't always make them disappear completely. You may notice a small mark where the impact point was. The main goal is structural: stopping the chip from spreading and restoring strength to the glass.

Fresh, clean chips usually give the clearest results. Chips that have been full of dirt or water for weeks are harder to clear — another reason to book soon.

Does insurance cover windshield repair?

If you have comprehensive or specific-perils coverage, chip repair is often covered — and some insurers waive the deductible for repairs, because repair costs them far less than replacement. Ask your insurer how your policy handles glass.

We help with the paperwork. See our insurance page or the Insurance Bureau of Canada for general information about auto coverage.
