Rock Chip Repair
What is a Rock Chip and Why Should You Care?
A rock chip, often called a star break, bullseye, or combination break, is a small imperfection on your windshield caused by debris like rocks, gravel, or other road hazards. These chips might seem minor at first, but they can quickly turn into bigger problems if left unaddressed. Think of your windshield as a crucial structural component of your vehicle, not just a piece of glass. It plays a vital role in supporting the roof and ensuring your airbags deploy correctly. When your windshield is compromised, its integrity is weakened. At AA Auto Glass & RV’s, we understand that even the smallest chip can lead to significant issues down the road, affecting visibility and safety. Ignoring a rock chip is like ignoring a small crack in a foundation; it will only get worse with time and stress from driving, temperature changes, and road vibrations. We specialize in comprehensive auto glass services, including expert rock chip repair, to keep your vehicle safe and sound. We serve drivers across Utah and Southern Idaho, ensuring that you can get back on the road with confidence. Our goal is to provide efficient and effective solutions for all your auto glass needs.

The Dangers of Letting Rock Chips Go Unchecked
Letting a rock chip go unrepaired is a risky proposition. Over time, moisture and dirt can seep into the damaged area, making the chip more noticeable and harder to fix. More importantly, the stress of driving – from bumps in the road to temperature fluctuations – can cause the chip to spread rapidly. What starts as a small, manageable chip can quickly spiderweb into a large crack, compromising the entire windshield. A cracked windshield not only obstructs your view, creating a significant safety hazard for you and other drivers, but it can also lead to a failed vehicle inspection. In severe cases, a heavily damaged windshield might require a full windshield replacement, which is a more costly and time-consuming solution than a simple repair. We believe in proactive solutions, and our rock chip repair service is designed to prevent these larger issues. For RV and motorhome owners, the stakes are even higher due to the larger size and specialized nature of their windshields. We focus on providing top-tier RV and motor home repair and replacement services. Don’t let a small chip turn into a major headache. Regular inspections and prompt repairs are key to maintaining the safety and longevity of your vehicle’s glass.

How We Fix Your Rock Chips: Our Repair Process
Our rock chip repair process at AA Auto Glass & RV’s is designed to be efficient, effective, and minimally invasive. We use a specialized resin that is injected into the damaged area under pressure. This resin fills the chip completely, bonding the glass back together and restoring its structural integrity. The process typically takes less than an hour, allowing you to get back to your day with minimal disruption. First, our technicians carefully clean the damaged area to remove any dirt or debris. Then, they use a unique tool to create a vacuum and pressure seal over the chip. This allows the clear, optical-grade resin to be injected deep into the break. Once the resin is in place, it’s cured using an ultraviolet light, hardening it and making the repair nearly invisible. This process not only prevents the chip from spreading but also restores clarity to the affected area, improving your visibility. We pride ourselves on our meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each repair is done to the highest standard. Our expertise extends to all types of vehicles, including specialized RV and motorhome windshields. You can see examples of our work in our Gallery. We are committed to providing lasting solutions for all your auto glass needs.
