A chip repair takes about 30 minutes and runs $60 to $150, and with comprehensive insurance it is often $0 to you. Bring it to Fort Hamilton Parkway, fifteen minutes from Avenue M, or we will meet the car in Midwood. The sooner you call, the better the odds it stays a repair.

Laminated glass is two sheets with a plastic layer between them, and a chip is damage to the outer sheet only. Fill it while it is still tight and the break stops moving, the glass keeps its strength, and you keep the factory seal you already have. Wait, and three things work against you: cold mornings, the defroster blasting hot air at a cold outer surface, and every expansion joint on Kings Highway. Any of those can turn a star the size of a dime into a line running to the edge, and once it reaches the edge it is a replacement.
Thirty minutes is the honest figure for most repairs, which is less time than parking twice on Avenue J. We will tell you straight if a break is too far gone or sitting right in the driver's line of sight, because a filled chip is never invisible and you should not pay for a repair you will stare at every day. Comprehensive policies commonly waive the deductible on chips, so it often costs nothing; we bill the carrier and you sign. If it does need replacing instead, you get that price on the same phone call.

Chips in Midwood usually arrive one of two ways. Either something came off the road on Kings Highway or Coney Island Avenue while you were doing 35 with a truck in front, or something came off a tree while the car sat parked. The second kind is a Midwood specialty. Acorns off the big street trees along the East 20s hit hard enough to leave a bullseye, and a dead branch after a storm does worse. Neither leaves a mark you notice at night. You find it the next morning, in flat light, halfway up the passenger side. Call the same week. A repair holds only while the break is clean and dry inside, and a Brooklyn winter is very good at ruining both.

Yes, if the car is parked somewhere we can stand beside it safely and the glass is dry. A chip is a thirty minute job, so a legal spot on a side street off Campus Road or Bedford Avenue is usually enough. Rain is the one blocker. Water sitting in the break has to come out before anything goes in.
The rough rule is a chip up to about a quarter and a crack up to a few inches, with nothing running into the edge and nothing already spidering. Location matters as much as size. Damage directly in your sightline, or right where the camera looks through, we would rather replace. Send a photo before you drive over and we will tell you which one it is.
