Act Fast — Stop Chips From Spreading

Why Rock Chip Repair Matters in Vancouver

Driving in Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland means rock chips are virtually inevitable. Gravel trucks on Highway 1, construction debris in Burnaby and Surrey, and seasonal road sand all send small projectiles at your windshield daily.

The critical mistake most drivers make is waiting. A chip the size of a loonie can be repaired in under an hour for little to no cost. But Vancouver’s rainy winters and temperature swings mean that same chip can spread into a 6-inch crack overnight — turning a $0 repair into a $400+ windshield replacement.

At Avenue Auto Glass, our certified technicians use high-grade optical resin and precision injection equipment to restore up to 95% of your windshield’s original structural strength — stopping the chip from spreading and significantly improving its appearance.

Is your chip repairable?

Chips are usually repairable if they are:

Temperature accelerates spreading

In BC's cold mornings, turning on your defroster creates rapid heat expansion in the glass. A chip that survived the summer can crack across your entire windshield on the first cold October morning. Don't wait.

All Chip Types Repaired

Types of Windshield Chips We Repair

Different impacts create different chip patterns. Our technicians are trained to repair all common chip types found on Canadian roads.

Bullseye Chip

A circular impact with a cone-shaped break. One of the most common chip types. Usually fully repairable when under 1 inch.

Star Break

Radiating cracks from a central impact point, forming a star shape. Repairable when the cracks are short and the chip is under 1 inch.

Combination Break

A mix of bullseye and star break features. Very common on BC highways. Repairable when within size limits and away from driver's view.

Half-Moon / Partial Bullseye

A crescent-shaped break from an angled impact. Often fully repairable depending on depth and location on the glass.
