Small chips (smaller than a quarter) can often be repaired if they're not in the driver's direct line of sight. However, we recommend replacement for:

• Cracks longer than 6 inches
• Damage in the driver's critical viewing area
• Multiple chips or cracks
• Edge damage that compromises structural integrity

Our technicians provide honest assessments and will recommend the most cost-effective solution.
