Under thirty minutes and $60 to $150 for most chips, often $0 when you have comprehensive coverage. Fordham drivers wait with the car while the resin cures. There is no booking step involved: pull off Jerome Avenue, hand over the keys, and the repair is finished before the parking meter you fed runs out.

A chip that turns up after a run along East Fordham Road is usually a small one. Buses pulling in and out of the curb lane every block throw up whatever is lying in the gutter, and a pebble the size of a pea leaves a star you barely notice until the sun hits it. Caught early, that damage is fixable. We drill nothing, cut nothing, and remove no glass; the resin goes in under vacuum, fills the break, and gets cured hard with ultraviolet light. The factory windshield stays in the car, which means the factory seal stays too, and any camera behind the mirror keeps the aim it was set to at the plant.
The rule we go by: chips up to roughly the size of a quarter, cracks up to about three inches, nothing sitting in the driver's line of sight, and nothing running out to the edge of the glass. Past that, repair stops being honest and the windshield needs replacing, and we will say so instead of selling you resin. Money-wise this is the cheapest thing we do, and most comprehensive policies cover the repair outright because it costs the insurer far less than a full windshield. Bring the policy card and we handle the filing at the counter.

Fordham is where a chip gets ignored the longest, and that is a timing problem more than anything else. Shoppers and commuters here are moving between the Metro-North platform on the Harlem Line, the buses at Fordham Plaza and whatever they came to the strip to buy, so a half-day at a shop is out of the question and the star in the glass keeps getting pushed to next week. Thirty minutes is a different proposition. The run down Jerome Avenue under the elevated tracks takes maybe ten minutes at midday, the repair is done while you stand there, and you are back on Fordham Road before the meter flips. Waiting instead usually means the crack spreads over a cold night and the same visit turns into a full replacement at several times the cost.

Measure it against a quarter. Anything up to about that size, or a crack under roughly three inches, is normally a repair. Two things override the measurement: damage sitting directly in front of the driver, and damage that reaches the edge of the glass, where the panel gets its strength. Bring it down Jerome Avenue and we will look at it for free before quoting.
It should, for as long as you own the car. Cured resin becomes part of the glass rather than a patch sitting on top of it, so the freeze and thaw cycle that pulls an untreated crack open has nothing to grab. The risk is the gap between the chip appearing and the repair happening. A cold snap on an unrepaired star is what turns a $60 job into a new windshield.
