Windshield Chip Repair for I-35 Commuters
TxDOT is rebuilding I-35 from US 290 East to SH 71, a $4.5 billion job running for years. Haul trucks run in and out of those work zones all day, and their gravel lands on windshields.
That small star or bullseye from this morning's drive can usually be filled while it's small. We come to your driveway, office lot or parking garage in Austin, inject resin into the chip and leave your factory windshield in place. Save time and money - book your windshield chip repair today!

Why a Chip
From I-35 Won't Wait?
What Waiting Costs You on I-35:
- Chips Spread With Every Bump: Lane shifts, steel plates and uneven pavement in the work zones flex the glass on every trip. Each flex pushes a little further out from the chip, and once a crack runs a few inches, resin can't save the windshield.
- Avoid a Full Replacement: A filled chip leaves your factory windshield, its seal and the camera mount untouched. Wait too long and you're looking at new glass, new adhesive and, on many newer cars, a camera calibration on top.
- Keep Your View Clear: A chip in your line of sight scatters low sun and headlights. In stop-and-go I-35 traffic at dusk, with lanes moving every few weeks, that glare makes brake lights and fresh lane markings harder to read.
- Stay on the Right Side of Texas Law: Texas ended safety inspections for most personal cars in 2025, but a crack blocking the driver's view can still be treated as an obstructed view by police.
- Quick and Convenient: We fill the chip where the car is parked, so you don't spend another drive in work-zone traffic getting it fixed. Most repairs take one short visit, while you're at work or home for the evening.
Repair or Replace?
Can Your I-35 Chip Be Fixed?
- Size of the Damage: Chips about the size of a quarter or smaller, and short cracks, are usually good candidates for repair.
- Number of Chips: Several chips close together, which is common after following a gravel truck, can weaken the glass enough that replacement becomes the safer choice.
- Location on the Windshield: Damage at the edge of the windshield, or directly in front of the driver, tends to spread or distort the view, so it usually points toward replacement instead.
- Vehicle with ADAS Sensors: If the chip sits in front of the forward camera on a car with lane assist or automatic braking, the manufacturer's guidance decides whether repair is allowed. We check that before booking anything.

Types of Gravel Damage
We Repair in Austin
Gravel from the work zones and stone falling off haul trucks leave a few familiar marks, and the shape decides whether resin can fill the break. To avoid the next one, hang back from loaded trucks. Texas requires loose loads to be covered or enclosed, so give an uncovered one extra room.
Bullseye Chips
A round chip with a dark cone in the middle, usually from one stone thrown up by a truck tire. Its clean shape makes it one of the easiest chips to fill completely.
Star Breaks
Short cracks spread out from the impact point like the legs of a star. Star breaks are repairable while the legs are short, but they react quickly to bumps and temperature changes, so a star break picked up on the highway is worth fixing within days, not weeks.
Combination Breaks
A bullseye with star legs coming off it, usually from a harder or sharper impact. Combination breaks are often repairable, but filling every leg takes more care, and the size of the whole break decides whether repair is still the right choice.
Half-Moon Cracks
A partial bullseye shaped like a crescent, left when gravel strikes the glass at an angle. Half-moon chips are usually repairable while they're small and away from the edge. Like other chips, they can start a crack if the car keeps taking bumps and rough pavement first.
Edge and Floater Cracks
Edge cracks start within a couple of inches of the windshield's edge and spread quickly.
Floater cracks begin in the middle of the glass, away from edges.
Both can sometimes be repaired while short, but longer ones usually need replacement.
Windshield Pits
Small, shallow pocks from sand and fine gravel, common on cars that drive through work zones often. Pits are usually too shallow to repair one by one, but heavy pitting that causes glare can be a reason to replace.

When you book a chip repair in Austin, a technician comes to where the car is parked. The repair usually takes one short visit and follows these four steps:
Damage Evaluation
The technician checks the chip's size, depth and position, including whether it sits near the camera area, and confirms that repair is the right choice.
Surface Preparation
Construction grit and loose glass are cleared from the break, and the area is cleaned and dried so the resin can bond to the glass.
Resin Injection
Air is drawn out of the break, and clear resin is injected to fill the chip and any short legs.
UV Curing & Polishing
The resin is cured with UV light and the surface is finished smooth. The technician then checks the result with you before leaving your location.
Many comprehensive auto policies cover chip repair, and some waive the deductible for it, depending on your insurer and policy terms. We work with most major insurance carriers and can help with the claim details when you book. Your insurer makes the final coverage decision, so check your policy if you're unsure.
