Repairability comes before the price
The technician considers damage depth, contamination, edge proximity and the driver’s viewing area. A small-looking chip is not automatically repairable, and multiple hail impacts may require a different approach. Send photos before arranging the visit and ask whether the assessment fee changes if replacement is needed.
Protect the damaged area while you arrange help
Avoid pressure on the glass, abrupt temperature changes and washing that can introduce water or debris into the damage. If vision is obstructed or glass is loose, leave the vehicle parked and ask a professional how to proceed. A repair can leave a visible mark; ask what result is realistic.

Frequently asked questions
Can every hail chip be repaired?
No. The size, depth, position and number of impacts require a technician’s assessment. Photos help start the conversation but cannot establish repairability.
Will a repair be invisible?
Not necessarily. Ask about the expected appearance and the provider’s policy if a crack spreads during repair.
Does insurance waive the repair deductible?
Some policies have different glass-repair terms. Check your coverage and endorsements with your insurer before assuming a repair is free.
