How do I identify chips on the windshield?

Rock hits leave two kinds of marks on a windshield. They show up as pits or chips. You can tell them apart with a quick check. A chip looks shiny. You will see a small black dot under the glass. That dot is trapped air. It means the glass took a real hit and needs quick care. A pit looks dull. It has no shine and no black dot. A pit feels rough, like a tiny scratch on the surface. Most pits don’t spread, but they weaken the glass over time.

If you feel stuck, visit a nearby tent of Windshield Repair in Calgary. One of our trained techs will look at the glass and point out any chip you may have missed. This simple check helps you stay safe and saves you money because small chips often turn into long cracks.
