    Default Another windshield rock chip repair thread

    I had a really unfortunate trip back from Radium yesterday and picked up 2 nice big rock chips on my windshield, between our 3 cars this makes 4 rock chips that need to be repaired. I remember a couple years back there was a guy on Beyond here that would come to your house and repair them (for a pretty reasonable price IIRC) and he also did a "fix 3 get 1 free" type of deal which works really well for me now.

    I know most shops I can bring my cars to won't give a discount if the chips are on multiple vehicles, so I'm wondering if this guy is still around and if anybody on Beyond has contact info? I tried searching without any luck.

    Glass Solutions was the company you were referring to. I tried to contact them but to no avail, their website and phone number is disconnected. I assume they went out of business.

    I went to Deco Windshield repair at the Canadian Tire in Signal Hill and they have an orange tent set up there.

    The quality was not bad as they leave a mark after they repair the rock chip.

    Back in the day when Glass Solutions did my windshields, I could barely find where the chip was after repair.


    Deco's rate is $40 for the first two chips, then $10 for the third and so on.

    Is Deco still at the Canadian Tire at Sage Hill? I remember going to this place, I think it was called Clear View Windshield Solutions or something a little while back and they said they were at the Canadian Tire on Country Hills. I tried going there recently and they weren't there anymore. I'm wondering if these guys don't set up their tent during the winter months.

    Glass Solutions, that was it. Damn, its a shame they are gone I always heard great things about them

    I doubt they use the tents during the winter, you need the windshield to be clean, warm and dry, 3 things that are very hard outside in the winter

    Is Clear View Windshield Solutions one of those tent places as well, or do they have a shop?

    Damn, $40 for the first 2?... that sucks, unless I can spread the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc., across multiple cars... then we might as well bring the whole family down and split the bill.

    5 Star, they are in the same parking lot as shadow tint right? I drove by there the other day and they had a sign up, $15 rock chip repairs. Sounds worth a try to me

    Calalta auto glass, $20 for the first one $10 for each additional one. http://www.cal-altaautoglass.ca/home/

    not affiliated with them, but I used them a month ago and they were the best price I could find. Speedy glass wanted $100 for the 4 chips I wanted repaired.

    yeah i just had 3 repaired there by them, its 14.99 for the first, then 9.99 for each consecutive chip, i think it came out to just under 40$ for all 3...

    I've replaced my windshield 4 times in the past 6 months on my 08 ESV.

    As of the other day I got sprayed and the windshield got destroyed again... You guys have probably seen some of my other threads regarding my windshield getting demolished.

    Summer is summer, rocks are shit are accident, I don't care.

    Usually I've never had a problem during winter... However this winter for some reason people have a habbit of driving on the lines on the roads that contain the rocks...

    So choked!

    i had several chips filled by ven (beyond member). i'm not sure what his company is called, but he will meet you wherever and has a card thing where you get 1 free chip fixed after 3 or whatever. i had him fix a few chips back in '05 or something, and still have a card for a free chip repair. he does a good job, and he is a super upstanding guy, so i highly recommend him for shiz.

    back then i had a '91 j-body, and i remember comparing my car to his '91 toyota (i think) minivan. it was funny cause his van looked 23274489723849723 times more modern than my piece of shit GM. hahah. thank god i saved some cash and got rid of that POS.
