A chip in your windshield may not seem like much, and some people end up just ignoring it altogether. At Sill-TerHar Mazda in Broomfield, CO, we typically advise customers about the unwise nature of this decision. The reason for that is because chips in a windshield can spread and become cracks when left unrepaired. Cracks in a windshield become hazards because they impair vision.
The most important question you should answer is if it's better to replace the windshield entirely or have a technician repair only the chip. By leaving it unrepaired, eventually, there is only one thing you can do. A chip or small crack is easy enough for a technician to fix with a little bit of epoxy, but a larger crack requires complete replacement.
Since the cost of chip repair is less than half that of replacing a windshield, it should be easier to decide between the two.
