In almost all cases, a rock chip repair can be performed unless it is in your driver’s line of sight or it has already been repaired.

The possibility of a chipped windshield forming into a windshield crack is greater if not repaired. If you have the rock chip repaired before it turns into a crack, it will not spread under normal conditions. A rock chip can form a windshield crack if there is a drastic change in temperature or even from the impact of hitting a pothole.

A windshield Repair is a process that utilizes modern technology to repair a damaged or cracked windshield by injecting and cursing resin into the damaged area. The repair provides a strong bond that prevents further windshield cracks and improves the cosmetic appearance in most cases.

There are many reasons to repair a windshield, including:

Stone damage or stone “chips” up to the size of a “50 cent piece” qualify for a car window repair. A rock chip is usually round or star-shaped and may have lines extending from the center. The best rock chip repair results are obtained when the windshield repair is done before the damaged area is contaminated.

Basically, the process consists of injecting resin into the damaged area. When the damaged area has been completely filled, it is exposed to an ultraviolet light which cures the resin.

Typically, a “star” or “bullseye” glass repair service takes about a half hour. For more than one rock chip repair, add about 15 minutes per repair. The car can be driven immediately without precautions after a chipped windshield repair.

Results vary from car to car. Some windshield repairs can hardly be found, while others look exactly as they did prior to the windshield being repaired.

At Fox Valley Glass, we understand that most of our customers have never had to deal with glass damage until it happens. That’s why it doesn’t matter to us if your an individual in need of some auto glass replacement or residential glass repair, or a business looking for commercial glass, because either way we are going to treat you like family. And at Fox Valley Glass, “Family Safety is Our #1 Concern!”

Here’s a little background on how we handle our auto glass calls.

Step 1: A customer calls in with auto glass damage and reports a claim to their insurance agent.

Step 2: The insurance agent contacts Fox Valley Glass and reports the glass damage to us, providing as much information as they can about the auto glass repair needed, and then we call you.

Step 3: Our office staff gathers detailed information from you and works to schedule your auto glass repair Reference/Claim according to your schedule. If necessary, all needed glass for the repair is ordered from one of our reliable auto glass vendors.

Step 4: Once again our office staff calls you back with confirmation and details about your glass repair schedule.

Step 5: The morning of your scheduled glass repair a Fox Valley Glass staff member once again calls you and provides a 2-hour window of when one of our master certified glass technicians will be arriving in the repair location. Our staff member will also provide you with the technicians name, who will also call you prior to their arrival.

Step 6: Our onsite master certified technician will perform a professional glass repair or replacement of your auto glass which, by the way, comes with a lifetime warranty.

Step 7: With your auto glass repair done and our work complete, it will leave you feeling safe, secure, and satisfied, because our customers know that at Fox Valley Glass “Your Family’s Safety is Our #1 Concern.”

Although similar there are some differences between our auto glass calls and our residential / storefront glass calls, so here are the steps and details on how we handle things when we perform glass repairs at your residence or business.

Step 1: A customer calls in with damage to residential or commercial window glass and reports a claim to their insurance agent.

Step 2: The insurance agent contacts Fox Valley Glass and reports the glass damage to us, providing as much information as they can about the residential or commercial window glass repair needed, and then we call you.

Step 3: Our office staff contacts you and provides an insurance discount based quotation over the phone per your deductible and/or we schedule an onsite survey to gather exact measurements while also fixing ALL glass-related safety issues at the residence or storefront before ordering glass for your repair.

Step 4: After we have all your measurements and know the exact glass needed for your repair, our Fox Valley Glass staff will order your glass from one of our reliable vendors. On average glass orders usually take 5-7 business days to arrive at our glass shop.

Step 5: Upon delivery, glass is inspected in our glass shop before we schedule your glass repair appointment.

From this point on the steps in our Residential / Storefront Glass Calls are pretty much the same as our Auto Glass Calls. Our office staff will call to schedule your glass repair or replacement to fit your schedule; they call the morning of your appointment again to confirm and introduce our master certified technician to you, who once onsite will perform a professional glass repair or replacement of your residential or storefront glass, which by the way, also comes with a lifetime warranty.
