A small chip deserves a proper look
A stone chip may stay small, or it may change as the glass experiences temperature shifts, vibration and everyday road use. Repair suitability depends on the damage itself.
Several details affect repair
- The impact pattern and size
- Its location on the windshield
- Whether dirt or moisture has entered the damaged area
- Whether a crack has already started
What repair is meant to do
Stone chip repair treats suitable impact damage. It does not promise that every mark will become invisible. Tony’s will explain what can reasonably be expected after assessing the windshield.
Practical next steps
- Take note of where the chip is located.
- Avoid pressing or picking at the damaged area.
- Call Tony’s with the vehicle details.
Common questions
Can a stone chip become a crack?
It can. Existing damage can change under added stress.
Can every chip be repaired?
No. The type, size, position and condition of the damage matter.
Should I wait and see?
Waiting can reduce the available options if the damage spreads. An assessment provides a clearer answer.
