Chip in car windshield
 

Traveling to close to a ballast truck, ping small chip in windshield. Any recommendations where to get it fixed?

Notify your insurance company. They will advise you

I used Safelite twice as recommended by my insurance company. Toyota wanted $1300 whereas Safelite did it for $350, both new windshields. If a dollar bill covers the crack it can be repaired otherwise has to be replaced.

In the state of Florida, windshield cracks and chips are repaired free of charge. According to Florida statute 627.7288, if you have comprehensive coverage on your vehicle your insurance company will pick up the tab for any repair or replacement that you may need. The law states that your deductible will be waived.

Safelite Repaired our chip with no cost to us. We went to Ocala with a appointment, in and out under a hour.

If it’s not in your “field of vision”, can’t you just get the chip filled?

most insurance companies will cover this with no charge to you...and someone will come to you to pull out the old windshield and replace it with a new one. Don't delay...driving with a cracked windshield is a hazard

you can buy a window chip repair kit from any car part shop , about $20. i did my window and it came out great.

Did you not have comprehensive insurance? That doesn't sound right. WORSE CASE (if you are insured from out of FL) you'd only pay the deductible. Lower comp deductibles are very cheap. It was $18/yr difference from $500ded to $100ded and the comp itself is cheap.

Insurance paid it but that was the difference in the bill between Safelight and Toyota just to show the large difference in cost. Insurance company said I could use Toyota if I wanted. The other time was a chipped motorhome window that had to be replaced. And one time Safelight repaired a chip not in the line of vision. The test was whether a dollar bill covered the crack.

I had a small chip repaired and about two months later the repair failed and cracked. Save yourself the hassle and put a 7 iron to the small chip so you can just get a new windshield and be done with it.

Called State Farm and they gave us a number to call....Safelite came to our home and repaired the windshield.
