Aviv Glass & Mirror repairs windshield chips and small cracks at our Brooklyn shop, usually in about 30 minutes and for a fraction of what a full replacement costs. We inject clear resin into the break, cure it under UV light, and restore strength so the damage stops spreading — best done while the chip is still smaller than a quarter.

That little star or bullseye in your glass isn't just cosmetic. Every temperature swing, every pothole on Kings Highway, every slammed door flexes the windshield and tempts a small chip to run into a long crack. Once it does, repair is off the table and you're buying a whole windshield. Catching it early is the cheaper, smarter move. We clean out the break, pull the air from it with a vacuum, and force resin into the void so it bonds from the inside out.
A good repair won't always make the mark vanish completely, but it stops the spread and brings back most of the clarity, especially when the chip is fresh. If the damage sits right in your line of sight or has already branched into long cracks, we'll be honest and tell you replacement is the safer call rather than sell you a repair that won't hold. Swing by the Fort Hamilton Parkway shop — most chips are filled while you wait, no appointment needed.
“I called for a quote on two pieces of mirror. The lady I spoke to was very helpful. Took my measurements, offered to call me back with a price. She did promptly. Polite and professional throughout.”
Every glass job we do carries a lifetime workmanship warranty — leaks, wind noise or trim issues from our install are fixed free for as long as you own the vehicle.
The reviews that mean the most to us mention honesty, and chip repair is where that shows. It would be easy to push everyone toward a pricier windshield. Instead, if your chip can be saved, we save it — quick, affordable, and often the same visit. That reputation for straight talk is why a call to us usually starts with 'my friend told me to try you.'

We clean the break, inject and UV-cure optical resin under vacuum, then polish the surface flush.
The spread stops, strength returns, and the repair blends in — most are barely visible when done.

Not every one. Repairs work best on chips smaller than a quarter and cracks under a few inches that aren't directly in the driver's sightline. Damage that's very long, deep into both layers of glass, or spread across the wiper path usually calls for replacement. Show it to us and we'll tell you honestly which way to go.
The sooner the better. A fresh chip is clean and easy to fill; once dirt and moisture work into it, or a cold night makes it run, the repair gets harder and the odds of needing a full windshield climb. If you can't come in right away, keep clear tape over it and avoid blasting the defroster.
Usually it fades to a faint mark rather than disappearing entirely. The goal is structural — stopping the crack from spreading and restoring strength — with cosmetics a close second. On a fresh, clean chip the result can be hard to spot. On an older, dirty one, expect a small blemish to remain, but a stable windshield.
By a wide margin. A chip repair is a small job that takes about half an hour, while a replacement means a new windshield, more labor, and possibly camera recalibration. Many insurance plans even cover repairs with no deductible, since it saves them the bigger bill too. It's the frugal choice when the damage still qualifies.
