Hey folks! This is Patrick from Chip Happens Auto Glass.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"How do I know if a chip or crack on my windshield is repairable?"

Answer

So, how to tell whether you need a crack or chip repaired versus replacement um can be tell told a lot by the size. Um, typically anything under a dollar bill has a chance at repair and then depending on the depth of the break and how severe the damage is can uh decide that. So, um, always just consult a professional and get eyes on it before you um consider repair or replacement because we can tell it's our everyday.
