That Windshield Chip May Be Just the Beginning
By Jason Barker
Pop! Snap! Chip! Crack!
No… it’s not an action sequence from the original Batman television series. You’re driving along 217 heading to a meeting. The road was recently iced over and sand and gravel was spread out on it. The ice is gone, but those pebbles aren’t. They easily get launched from the tires of vehicles driving in front of you. Before you know it, you hear that Pop! or Snap! and you’ve got a windshield chip. If left unrepaired, it’s only a matter of time before it may grow into a full blown crack.
Windshield chips are repaired by injecting a special clear adhesive resin. The damaged area is strengthened, preventing the crack from spreading – in fact it’s guaranteed not to spread! The clarity is also improved at least 85%. Some other facts about dealing with that chip…
- Repairing (instead of replacing) a windshield is environmentally friendly. Thousands of damaged windshields are needlessly replaced every year, ending up in our landfills. Repairing a windshield will save it from the landfill!
- Repairs are very convenient taking less than an hour.
- Putting off a repair can lead to contamination of the windshield due to moisture from the elements, road grime and car washing.
- Repairs are better for your vehicle than replacement because the glass is never removed and the original factory seal is maintained.
- Repairs are more cost effective than replacement because they are often covered by your insurance so it won’t cost you anything out of pocket – and it doesn’t raise your insurance rates.
Get those chips and cracks taken care of today… it’ll be better for you, for your pocket book, for the environment and for your car!

Fabulous as always! I really appreciate the reminder card and, the special pricing to really get me in the door! Thanks for making my life so much easier and my car so much cleaner! — Shelley
Did a very good job on my volvo XC and got the wheels the cleanest they have ever been. — Troy
Extremely pleased with the work. Jason and crew took a 2000 Dakota with animal hair, smells, mold (on the seatbelts no less) spills, etc., and did a great job. Fresh Start was recommended to us by Carriage House Car Wash. We are so pleased they did! — Jay and Lynda
The best thing (of all the great things) is that the car did not smell like any chemicals when I picked it up. Thanks!! — Joanne
Very nice folks, recommented by Precision Body and Paint as the very best! Took my car that morning to get the work done. Will take my Porsche back to have the under side cleaned up and detailed later in the spring. — Tom W.
Keep up the good work. The guys even reassembled some of the items that had fallen apart in the interior, and recharged my battery! — Happy Customer
