Chip repair · $125
A fresh rock chip may stay small—or it may begin spreading. Road vibration, dirt, moisture and temperature changes can all affect damaged windshield glass. Mint Chips repairs windshield chips and rock chips using professional repair tools and structural repair resin. Getting new damage looked at early gives you the best chance of addressing it while it is still small.

Apple Valley customer questions
Windshield Repair FAQs in Apple Valley
Can an older windshield chip still be repaired?
Possibly. A chip does not automatically become unrepairable just because it has been there for a while, but age can give dirt and moisture more time to work into the damaged area. The type, location and condition of the chip matter. Send me clear photos and I’ll take a look before you assume you’ve waited too long.
How much does windshield chip repair cost compared with replacement?
Repair is generally a much smaller job than replacing an entire windshield, and Mint Chips is built around saving repairable glass rather than selling replacement windshields. The current chip-repair service is $125 for up to three eligible quarter-size chips on one vehicle.
Can windshield chip repair be done during a Minnesota winter?
Winter does not automatically prevent windshield repair, but temperature and working conditions matter. Very cold glass and rapid temperature changes can put additional stress around existing damage. Send photos of the chip or crack and I’ll determine what you’re dealing with and the appropriate next step.
Does insurance cover rock chip repair?
Coverage varies by insurance policy, deductible and carrier. Some policies may cover windshield repair differently from replacement, while others may not. Mint Chips can also work directly with customers who prefer to pay for the repair themselves.
