Here&#8217;s What You Need to Know. <\/h2>\n\n<p>At <strong>ADAS Auto Glass Montreal<\/strong>, we receive questions like these every day: <strong>Can my windshield be repaired? How much does it cost? Does insurance cover it?  <\/strong><br\/>This article answers these questions precisely. We discuss types of chips, indicative prices, service timeframes, and the role of your insurance. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chip Repair: Quick, Economical, and Often Covered<\/h2>\n\n<p>There are several types of impacts that can be <strong>repaired<\/strong>: bull&#8217;s eye, star, half-moon, even those resembling a face (happy face, sad face&#8230;)<br\/>The rule is simple: if the chip is isolated, not too close to the edge, and doesn&#8217;t block the driver&#8217;s view, a repair is often possible. Even in front of the driver, it can be repaired \u2014 but sometimes, a small mark may remain visible if the impact is significant. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Good to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repair is frequently covered by <strong>insurance without a deductible.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typical service time: <strong>30 to 40 minutes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimated cost: <strong>$125 to $250<\/strong>, depending on the shape and size of the impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crack Repair: Possible under Certain Conditions<\/h2>\n\n<p>Yes, a <strong>crack can sometimes be repaired<\/strong>. It depends on its length (often less than 10 cm), location, and the glass structure. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s possible if:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The crack is short and isolated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It doesn&#8217;t touch the edge of the windshield<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s not in the driver&#8217;s field of vision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>We use a special resin that penetrates the crack and restores the strength of the glass. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong> the line may remain visible, but the windshield regains its integrity.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windshield Replacement: Essential in Certain Cases<\/h2>\n\n<p>When the crack is too long, too close to the edge, or there are multiple impacts, <strong>replacement becomes necessary<\/strong>. This is also the case when ADAS sensors are affected. <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Practical details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Repair is often covered at no cost by your insurer<\/strong>, as it avoids an expensive replacement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replacement<\/strong> may be partially or fully covered, depending on your insurance policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The claim may affect your premium<\/strong>: it depends on your contract and the number of previous claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Not sure what your insurance covers? We can help you check. We do this every day.  <br\/><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary Table<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Type of service<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Estimated cost<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Duration<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Insurance coverage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Chip repair<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>$125 to $250<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>30 to 40 min<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Generally 100%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Crack repair<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>$150 to $300<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>40 to 60 min<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Depends on contract<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Standard replacement<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>$450 to $1,300<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>4 to 5h<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Variable deductible<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Replacement with ADAS<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Up to $4,000<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>6 to 7h (with calibration)<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Depends on contract<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose ADAS Auto Glass?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Auto glass specialists<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ADAS experts<\/strong>: calibration, detection, manufacturer compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast service in Montreal<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear, no-surprise quotes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A team that takes the time to respond (really)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ &#8211; We Answer your Real Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-faq-block\"><div class=\"rank-math-faq-item\"><h3 class=\"rank-math-question\"><strong>Est-ce qu\u2019un \u00e9clat peut empirer avec le temps ?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"rank-math-answer\">Oui.
