Can Your Windshield Be Repaired?
Most chips and small cracks can be repaired — which saves your original factory glass, your factory seal, and your money. A repair is almost always faster and cheaper than a replacement, and we'd rather do a $90 repair than a $400 replacement any day. The key is catching it early, before the damage spreads.
A repair is usually possible if:
- The chip is smaller than a quarter
- The crack is short and hasn't started spreading (we'll verify in person)
- The damage is outside the driver's direct line of sight
- It's been less than a few weeks since the damage happened
- The damage hasn't reached the edge of the windshield
You'll need a full replacement if:
- The damage is larger than a quarter (we'll verify in person)
- The crack extends to the edge of the windshield
- The damage is in the driver's direct line of sight
- There's more than one chip or crack, or multiple cracks intersecting
- The inner layer of glass is compromised
- The damage is directly over a sensor, camera mount, or rain sensor
Not sure which camp you're in? Send us a photo or stop by — we'll tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether you're better off replacing. We won't sell you a replacement you don't need.

Expert Windshield Repair Done Right
A rock chip might look harmless, but it's a stress point — and Portland's temperature swings, gravel on I-5, and the bump of a pothole are all it takes to send a small chip racing into a foot-long crack. Once that happens, a quick repair is off the table and you're looking at a full replacement. Catching it early is the whole game.
At Collision Auto Glass & Calibration, we've been repairing windshields across the Portland metro since 2008. We're family-owned, locally operated, and we treat every vehicle like our own. Our certified technicians use a professional resin-injection process — cleaning the damage, drawing out the air, injecting optical-grade resin under pressure, and curing it with UV light so the chip is structurally bonded and visually far less noticeable. Because we never remove your glass, your factory seal stays intact and your ADAS cameras stay exactly where the manufacturer calibrated them — so there's no recalibration step and no added cost. A proper repair restores the strength of the glass and stops the damage from spreading. That's why we're "Clearly the Best Choice" for windshield repair in Portland.
Our Windshield Repair Process
A real repair is more than squirting glue in a chip. Here's how we do it right:
- Inspection & cleaning — We examine the damage, confirm it's repairable, and clean out the chip so there's no moisture or debris trapped inside that would weaken the bond.
- Air extraction — We draw the air out of the break with a vacuum so resin can fully penetrate every leg of the chip or crack, not just the surface.
- Resin injection — We inject optical-grade resin under pressure, forcing it into the damage so it fills completely and bonds to the glass.
- UV curing — We cure the resin with ultraviolet light, hardening it to match the strength and clarity of the surrounding glass.
- Polish & finish — We scrape the surface flush and polish it clear, so the repair is strong and far less visible than the original chip.
The whole process usually takes about 30 minutes, and you can drive immediately — no waiting around for adhesives to set like a replacement requires.

We Work With All Major Insurance Providers
No Glass Removed Means No Recalibration
Here's something a lot of drivers don't realize: when you replace a windshield on a newer vehicle, the ADAS cameras behind it have to be recalibrated — an extra step, and at a lot of shops, an extra trip to the dealer and an extra bill. A repair skips all of that. Because we never take your glass out, your cameras and sensors stay exactly where the factory set them. No recalibration, no dealer trip, no surprise charge. It's one more reason to repair early instead of waiting until you need a full replacement.
(Note: if the vehicle does end up needing a replacement, we calibrate in-house with the Autel MaxiSYS — so it's covered either way.)

Why a Quality Repair Matters
A windshield repair isn't just cosmetic — done right, it stops the crack from spreading and restores the structural integrity of the glass. Done poorly, it traps air and moisture, looks cloudy, and fails within months. A bad or rushed repair can mean:
- A chip that keeps spreading until you need a full replacement anyway
- A cloudy, distracting blemish right in your field of view
- Trapped moisture that weakens the bond and lets the damage creep
- Wasted money on a repair you'll have to redo
We do it right the first time — proper extraction, full resin penetration, complete UV cure, and a clean finish. If a chip we repair ever spreads, we'll credit what you paid toward a full replacement.
Professional Repair vs. a DIY Kit
The $15 kit from the auto parts store is tempting, but it's a gamble on a part of your car that protects you in a crash. Those kits can't pull a vacuum on the chip, so air stays trapped inside and the resin only fills the surface — which means the repair looks worse and often fails. Worse, a botched DIY attempt can ruin a chip that was repairable, leaving a full replacement as your only option.
For some chips on specialty or high-value vehicles, the smartest move is a professional repair done right the first time — it's the difference between saving your factory glass and replacing it. We use optical-grade resin and a professional injection system, we'll always tell you up front whether a repair will hold, and at $90 it costs about what a couple of DIY kits do — without the risk.
