Why Rock Chip Repair Can't Wait
That "small" rock chip is a ticking time bomb on your windshield.
Rock chips seem harmless, but they weaken your windshield’s structural integrity immediately. Calgary’s extreme weather makes chip spreading almost inevitable without professional repair.
How Rock Chips Become Expensive Cracks
Temperature changes
Calgary's weather swings cause glass expansion and contraction
Road vibrations
Normal driving stress spreads damage outward
Additional impacts
More debris hits the weakened area
Moisture infiltration
Water enters chips and freezes, expanding damage
Wind pressure
Highway speeds put stress on compromised glass
Time factor
Every day increases spreading probability
The Cost Difference
Rock chip repair
$50-100, completed in 15-30 minutes
Windshield replacement
$300-800, takes 1-2 hours plus ADAS calibration
Emergency replacement
$500-1200 when chips spread at inconvenient times
Insurance impact
Repairs often covered with no deductible
Smart drivers choose Jacksonport Glass rock chip repair to avoid expensive windshield replacement.
