Thirty minutes, $60 to $150, and frequently $0 once comprehensive is applied, because most insurers would rather waive a deductible than buy a windshield. We vacuum the break, inject resin and cure it, so Sunset Park drivers keep the original factory seal and skip the replacement entirely.

Chips have a clock on them. The break is a small pocket of air and dirt, and every temperature swing, pothole and slammed tailgate works it a little wider until one morning there is a line running across the glass. We stop that at the pocket. Vacuum, resin, cure, half an hour, $60 to $150 for most jobs. Bring your comprehensive details and there is a strong chance the bill lands at zero, since carriers waive the deductible on repairs because a replacement costs them far more. What we cannot fix is damage wider than a quarter, anything that has reached the edge of the glass, and anything sitting in the driver's direct view. Those become replacements at $250 to $500.
Sunset Park adds its own pressure. Trucks work the low-numbered avenues down by the Bush Terminal waterfront, dropping grit that gets thrown back at whatever follows them, and the deck of the Gowanus Expressway hangs over Third Avenue shedding debris on the cars beneath. Park up on the high ground near the park itself and your windshield takes the full swing between a cold night and a bright afternoon. We work Monday to Saturday, eight until five, closed Sunday.

Anyone commuting into Industry City knows the drill on 36th and 39th Streets: heavy vehicles, freight moving all day, and loose material on the roadway near the docks. That is chip country. Eighth Avenue traffic crawls, which sounds safe until you notice how much of the day you spend directly behind somebody's rear wheels. The trip out here is about eight miles, either Fort Hamilton Parkway across to Ocean Parkway and south, or the Gowanus to the Belt and east, twenty to twenty-five minutes. Since the repair itself only takes thirty, plenty of customers plan it around one errand rather than a day off. It is also the right window to have headlight lenses checked, and inspection season is when people remember that a hazy lens and a cracked sweep fail a car for related reasons.

No. Thirty minutes covers it, $60 to $150, and there is no cure time to wait out afterwards, so you drive off the moment we are done. That is the one real advantage a chip has over every other kind of glass work. Come between eight and five, Monday through Saturday, and plan nothing else around it.
Hold a quarter over the damage. If the coin covers it and the mark is not in front of your face, resin will handle it in half an hour. If a leg has crawled to the edge of the windshield, the glass has lost stiffness there and no resin restores it, so we quote a replacement at $250 to $500 and make the insurance call for you.
