Under thirty minutes and $60 to $150, and often nothing at all once comprehensive coverage picks it up. Throggs Neck drivers wait while we do it. Resin goes into the break under vacuum, cures under UV light, and your factory glass and factory seal both stay put. Walk in six days a week; there is no slot to book.

A chip is a race against the calendar out on the peninsula, and the peninsula makes the race harder. Damage that starts as a star the size of a dime spreads when glass flexes, and glass flexes over expansion joints, potholes and the seams on the bridge approach ramps. Cold mornings with the defroster blasting hot air at frozen glass do the rest. Our rule of thumb is simple: chips up to roughly the size of a quarter and cracks up to about three inches can be repaired, as long as the damage is not sitting in the driver's line of sight and has not run out to the edge of the glass.
The money argument is short. Sixty to a hundred and fifty dollars beats two hundred and fifty to four hundred and fifty, and most comprehensive policies pay the repair with no deductible because insurers would rather buy a resin fix than a whole windshield. We file that claim for you. Repair also keeps the original factory bond around the glass, which matters on a car with a lane-keep camera, because nothing is being unbolted or recalibrated. Bring the car to 1747 Jerome Avenue, tell us what happened, and you will be back on the Cross Bronx heading east before the coffee goes cold.

Distance is the whole argument for fixing a chip early when you live out past Ferry Point Park. A nine or ten mile round trip on the Cross Bronx Expressway is a lot of expansion joints and a lot of flex, so a chip that would idle along for weeks on a short commute can run into a full crack on one bad ride. The same stretch of road is what you have to drive to get it fixed, which is why people put it off, and why putting it off costs them the whole windshield. There is also the salt: cars kept near the water at Silver Beach and Locust Point pick up a fine haze of it, and a chip packed with salt and grit takes longer to clean before the resin will bond. Come in while it is still small and it is thirty minutes.

It will. Once the resin is cured under UV it is part of the glass, not a patch sitting on top of it, so road salt and marine air have nothing to lift. What we ask is that you get the chip in before it fills with grime. A break that has been open for a month on a car parked near the water needs more cleaning, and a dirty break is the one thing that weakens the bond.
That one is a replacement. Past roughly three inches the resin cannot hold the two halves of the glass together under load, and a six-inch run will keep travelling every time the body twists on a ramp. Same story if the crack reaches the edge, where the windshield carries structural stress. Come in anyway and we will look at it honestly; if it is repairable you save the glass, and if it is not you get a price on the spot.
