Windshield Chip Repair
Windshield Chip Repair in Burlington, NC
Get that rock chip fixed before it spreads.
Cars & Truckware has repaired windshield chips in Burlington since 1991, with free estimates and walk-ins welcome.
Signs You Need Windshield Repair Before It Spreads
A small chip rarely stays small for long. Temperature swings, potholes on I-40, and even a slammed car door can turn a tiny rock chip into a crack that runs clear across your glass, and once that happens, repair is off the table and full replacement is the only option.
Catching damage early is the whole point of windshield chip repair. If you notice any of the following, it is worth a quick look before you drive another week:
- A rock chip smaller than a quarter with no cracks radiating outward
- A star break or bullseye pattern from flying debris on the highway
- Small pitting or a single ding from hail damage after a Piedmont storm
- A chip sitting outside the driver's direct line of sight
- Glass that has been chipped for less than a few weeks
- Any chip you are worried might spread in cold weather
If your damage matches these signs, our team can usually complete the repair the same day you bring your vehicle in.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose an Auto Glass Repair Shop Over a Full Body Shop
Full body shops handle a windshield chip the same way they handle everything else: slowly, with paperwork, and often at a markup that reflects their overhead. Cars & Truckware built its business as a body shop alternative specifically so Burlington drivers have a faster, more affordable option for auto glass repair and other lite body repair needs.
You get a shop that specializes in exactly this kind of work, not one that treats it as an afterthought between bigger collision jobs. Here is what that means for you:
-
Faster turnaround since glass repair is our specialty, not a side job
-
Lower cost than routing a small chip through a full-service body shop
-
Technicians who repair windshields daily and know exactly how each chip pattern behaves
-
Straightforward, honest pricing with a free estimate before any work starts
-
Access to minor auto body repair, dent and ding repair, and paint touch-up under one roof if other damage turns up
-
The option to ask about windshield eyebrow tint while you are here, for a finished look and reduced glare
How It Works
Our Windshield Chip Repair Process
Getting a chip repaired at Cars & Truckware is straightforward from the moment you walk in or call ahead. Most repairs are finished the same day, often while you wait or run an errand nearby on S Mebane St.
- 01
Free Inspection and Estimate
Bring your vehicle by or call ahead, and one of our technicians will inspect the chip's size, depth, and location to confirm it is a good candidate for repair rather than full replacement. We will give you a straightforward, no-obligation estimate on the spot.
- 02
Insurance Check (If Applicable)
If the damage came from a road hazard or storm, we can help you understand what your policy covers. Cars & Truckware handles insurance claim work regularly, so we know how to document the repair correctly for your carrier.
- 03
The Repair Itself
Using a resin injection process, our technician fills the chip to stop it from spreading and restore the glass's structural integrity. Most windshield chip repairs take well under an hour from start to finish.
- 04
Final Check and You're Back on the Road
We inspect the repair, clean up the work area, and walk you through what to expect as the resin fully cures. In most cases, you can drive away the same day with a windshield that is safe, clear, and ready for the road.

Been using these guys for over 20 years they have did everything from light body work to putting on step rails and bed covers. I have always been 100% satisfied with their work. I've read some of the negative reviews here and they would not have done damage to a car and not fixed it Barry is a honest and straight forward person.
