Why You Can’t Ignore a Rock Chip
It happens to almost every Houston driver: you’re cruising down I-45 or the Hardy Toll Road, and suddenly you hear that sharp smack. You’ve got a rock chip.
While a tiny chip might seem harmless, it compromises the structural integrity of your entire windshield.
In Houston, our extreme weather makes chips incredibly volatile. The combination of sitting in the 100-degree Texas sun and then blasting your car’s A/C causes the glass to rapidly expand and contract.
Within hours, that dime-sized chip can spider out into an unrepairable foot-long crack.
At A Plus Auto Glass, our certified technicians specialize in fast, permanent rock chip repairs. We use a high-powered vacuum seal and optically clear resin to structurally bond the glass back together. This process isn’t just about making the glass look better it’s about restoring the factory strength of your windshield and keeping you safe.
//What Chips Can We Fix?
Types of Repairable Windshield Chips
Our advanced resin injection systems can handle various types of impact damage, provided they are caught early enough.
The Star Break
Features a central impact point with several small cracks radiating outward. (Highly repairable if caught quickly).
The Bullseye
A circular chip with a distinct, separated cone in the outer layer of the glass. (Very repairable, excellent visual results).
The Half Moon
Similar to a bullseye, but the damage is semi-circular.
The Combination Break
A mix of a star break and a bullseye.
General Rule of Thumb: If the chip is smaller than a quarter, and does not obstruct the driver’s direct line of sight, we can almost certainly repair it. If it is larger, you will likely need a Windshield Replacement.

// FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Chip Repair
Will you be able to see the chip after it is repaired?
A chip repair is a structural fix. While the visual clarity improves drastically (often practically disappearing), it varies based on the type of chip and how much dirt got into it. You may still see a tiny blemish looking like a dried bug or a water spot.
Does my insurance cover rock chip repair?
Almost always. Most comprehensive auto insurance policies in Texas prefer to waive your deductible entirely for a chip repair because it saves them from paying for a full windshield replacement later.
Can I put tape over the chip before you arrive?
Yes! Putting a piece of clear packing tape over a fresh chip is actually a great idea. It prevents dirt, water, and windshield washer fluid from getting inside the cracks, which results in a much clearer repair when we inject the resin.
