Most chips are thirty minutes and $60 to $150, and comprehensive often covers the lot, since carriers waive the deductible on repairs. Borough Park runs on minivans and full-size vans, and a fill keeps that big windshield original instead of replacing it at $250 to $500.

Large vehicles have large windshields, and large windshields are the ones you least want to replace. A van screen catches more stone simply because there is more of it facing forward, and once damage starts to run on that much glass it runs a long way. Filling the break early costs thirty minutes and $60 to $150 whatever the vehicle, and comprehensive commonly brings that to nothing because the deductible is waived on repairs. We deal with the paperwork. The rules do not change with vehicle size: under a quarter, outside the driver's sightline, nothing touching the edge. Past that the answer is a replacement, $250 to $500 for most vehicles, with a big van landing nearer the top of it.
Thirteenth Avenue is where a lot of this damage starts. Double-parking is the norm, everybody threads through one moving lane, and doors open into traffic all day, which is how glass of every kind finds trouble. Add the roadbed under the elevated line on New Utrecht Avenue and the constant crawl on Fort Hamilton Parkway. Come by on any weekday, or on a Saturday, between eight and five, and no booking is required.

A family van does five or six trips a day around 50th and 60th Streets, which means five or six chances for a small break to take another jolt before dinner. That is why we push people to come quickly rather than wait for a free afternoon. Half an hour is easy to find, there is no cure time afterwards, and the school run is not affected at all. Getting here means Ocean Parkway south along the eastern edge of the neighbourhood, or Coney Island Avenue after cutting across Kings Highway, roughly five miles and under twenty minutes. One more thing worth doing while the vehicle is in: years of highway miles leave van headlight lenses cloudy, and dim lenses on something carrying six people after dark deserve the same half hour of attention.
Same service, same price, other Brooklyn neighborhoods:
Yes, and the size of the vehicle makes no difference to a chip. Same resin, same half hour, same $60 to $150. Big vans do collect more chips per year than a sedan does, purely from the amount of glass facing forward, so it is worth having all of them looked at while you are here rather than only the one you noticed.
Three separate breaks, all under a quarter and outside your sightline, is still repair work, done in one sitting and quoted together. What tips a job toward replacement is position rather than count: anything in the driver's sweep, or a break that has already thrown a leg toward the edge. We will look, tell you which category you are in, and price both.
