Can every windshield chip be repaired?

Not always. Our glass specialists evaluate the size, location, condition, and overall stability of the damaged area to determine whether it meets established repair guidelines. If the damage doesn't qualify for repair, we'll explain why windshield replacement is the safer solution.

What happens during a windshield repair appointment?

Your appointment begins with a thorough inspection to determine whether the windshield qualifies for repair. If it does, a glass specialist injects a specialized resin into the damaged area before curing and polishing the repair to help reinforce the glass and improve the appearance of the chip.

Will windshield repair remove all signs of damage?

Not necessarily. Windshield repair is designed to strengthen the damaged area and improve the appearance of the chip, but some minor blemishes may remain. The final result depends on the size, condition, and age of the damage.

Should I have a windshield chip inspected right away?

Yes. Having a windshield chip evaluated promptly may increase the likelihood that it qualifies for repair. Over time, normal driving conditions and temperature changes can cause damage to worsen. Glass Doctor Auto of Hillsboro and North Portland can determine the most appropriate solution.

Do I need to contact my insurance company before scheduling windshield repair?

We recommend contacting Glass Doctor Auto of Hillsboro and North Portland first. Our glass specialists can explain the repair process, answer your questions, and help you start an insurance claim when applicable.

How We Determine Whether Your Windshield Qualifies for Repair

Every windshield chip is different. Before recommending repair, our glass specialists evaluate the size, location, condition, and overall stability of the damaged area using established repair guidelines. When damage qualifies, professional repair can help reinforce the windshield and preserve the original glass. If repair isn't the safest option, we'll explain why replacement is recommended and answer any questions before work begins.

We carefully inspect the windshield before recommending repair.
Eligible windshield chips may be repaired when they meet established safety guidelines.
Damage that doesn't qualify for repair may require windshield replacement.
Professional repair helps reinforce the damaged area and can improve the appearance of many chips.
We'll explain our recommendations so you can make an informed decision.
Your local Glass Doctor® Auto of Hillsboro and North Portland can also help you start the insurance claims process, when applicable.

Expert Windshield Repair You Can Trust

A windshield chip doesn't always mean you'll need a replacement. When damage meets established repair guidelines, professional repair can help preserve your existing windshield while reinforcing the damaged area.

At Glass Doctor Auto of Hillsboro and North Portland, our glass specialists evaluate every windshield individually rather than recommending the same solution for every vehicle. If your windshield qualifies for repair, we use professional-grade resin designed to strengthen the damaged area while helping restore clarity. If repair isn't appropriate, we'll explain why and recommend the next step based on your vehicle's needs.

Our goal is to provide trusted recommendations, quality workmanship, and clear communication from start to finish. Contact Glass Doctor Auto of Hillsboro and North Portland to request an estimate and learn whether your windshield qualifies for repair.

Amazing and speedy service. Jeff was kind and made the process jiffy.

Top notch! If you need your auto glass done these are your guys. Super experienced, jumped right into it and got it done. My old BMW has plastic that is brittle like an egg shell. It’s absolute magic they were able to disassemble and reinstall without breaking anything. Truly 5 stars.

I’m really happy with the windshield replacement that the Glass Doctor Hillsboro did on my Nissan Ariya! Another company gave reasons why they couldn’t do it but it was quick and easy at the Glass Doctor. They did the replacement and calibration with the safety features all passing and HUD working in the glass. They even gave me a ride to and back from work during the service. Thank you so much!

Talk about turning a bad situation into a good one. Portland glass came through when it really mattered, Jeff and Mo were professional, provided fast, friendly affordable service and got me back on the road with a new window in less than an hour.
