Professional Stone Chip Repair Services
Stop Small Chips Before They Become Big Cracks
It happens in a split second: a truck ahead kicks up a stone, you hear that sharp crack, and now there's a chip in your windshield. It looks small—maybe barely noticeable—but that tiny impact point has weakened the glass. Left alone, most stone chips eventually spread into cracks that can't be repaired.
The good news: caught early, a stone chip is one of the fastest and most affordable auto glass fixes there is. Most repairs take less than an hour, and your original windshield—with its factory seal—stays right where it is.
Westgate Auto Glass proudly serves drivers across Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville, Milton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Brantford, and surrounding areas — the same expert service, wherever you are.
Your Windshield Took The Hit. We Handle The Rest.
A windshield is under constant stress—flexing with the vehicle body, expanding and contracting with temperature, and vibrating over every bump. A chip creates a weak point where that stress concentrates.
Everyday events that turn chips into cracks:
- Blasting the defroster on a frosty morning
- Hitting a pothole or speed bump
- A hot day followed by a cold night
- Water freezing inside the chip in winter
- Slamming a door with the windows up
In Ontario's climate, the freeze-thaw cycle is especially hard on chipped glass—a chip that survives the summer often cracks in the first cold snap.
Designed For Real-Life Road Moments
Most fresh stone chips qualify for repair. A quick check:
- The chip is smaller than a two-dollar coin
- Any cracks radiating out are shorter than a few centimetres
- It's not directly in the driver's line of sight
- It's not touching the edge of the windshield
If the damage has already spread beyond this, don't worry—our windshield repair team will assess whether a larger repair is possible, or whether a windshield replacement is the safer route.
Why Drivers Choose Early Repair
The repair fills the chip from the inside out, bonding the glass back together:
- The chip is inspected and cleaned of debris and moisture.
- Air is drawn out of the impact point under vacuum.
- Optically clear resin is injected deep into the chip.
- The resin is cured hard with UV light.
- The surface is polished smooth and clear.
The repaired area regains most of its original strength, and in many cases the blemish all but disappears. You can drive away immediately—no cure-time waiting, no taped-up windshield.
Turn That Chip Into A Simple Fix
A stone chip repair costs a fraction of a windshield replacement, takes a fraction of the time, and keeps your factory glass and seal intact. Waiting gains you nothing—every drive, every temperature swing, and every pothole is another chance for that chip to spread.
