This is what happens when a rock chip is left untreated — catch it early before it spreads.
Laurel drivers share I-95, the BW Parkway, Route 1, and the ICC with dump trucks, gravel haulers, and constant construction traffic. Loose stones and road debris kicked up at highway speed are the most common cause of windshield chips, and most Laurel commuters will pick one up sooner or later.
A chip rarely stays small. Hot summer afternoons, cold winter mornings, and running the defroster on frosty glass all put stress on the damaged spot, and the chip can grow into a crack that runs across the windshield. Once that happens, repair is no longer an option.
The technician cleans the damaged area, then uses a special tool to inject clear resin into the break, filling the tiny fractures from the inside. The resin is cured with ultraviolet light, which bonds it to the glass and stops the chip from spreading.
A repaired chip usually leaves a faint mark you can see up close, but it restores the glass's strength and, in most cases, makes the damage much less noticeable from the driver's seat.
Chip repair needs very little equipment, so it's one of the easiest services to do on the spot. We can fix it in your driveway before work, in your office parking lot over lunch, or anywhere else your car is parked in the Laurel area. You can drive away as soon as we're done.
