Jimmy's Glass repairs windshield chips and short cracks in Cliffside Park, NJ, usually in under 30 minutes at our Palisade Avenue shop. We inject resin into the damage, cure it, and stop the crack from spreading — which saves the cost of a full windshield. Repairs work best on chips smaller than a quarter and cracks caught before they reach the edge.

A rock kicks up off Route 5, taps your windshield, and leaves a little star — easy to ignore until a cold morning or a pothole turns it into a foot-long crack. That's the moment repair stops being an option. If you catch the damage while it's still small, we can clean it out, force resin into the break under pressure, and cure it hard so it quits spreading. Done right, the spot nearly disappears and the structural strength of the glass comes back.
The math is simple: a chip repair costs a fraction of a new windshield and takes a fraction of the time. Swing by 137 Palisade Avenue, and you're often back on the road in half an hour or less — quick enough to fit between stops on Bergen Boulevard. We'll always give you a straight answer, too. If the crack's too long, sitting right in your line of sight, or already crawling to the edge, we'll tell you a repair won't hold and talk replacement instead.
“Easy time getting car window replaced (l ready had the part) Installation was quick about 50 min And VERY good price Thanks so much”
Every glass job we do carries a lifetime workmanship warranty — leaks, wind noise or trim issues from our install are fixed free for as long as you own the vehicle.
Nobody likes hearing 'you need a whole new windshield' when a twenty-minute fix would do. We'd honestly rather save you the money — a repaired chip keeps a happy customer who tells their neighbor, and around here word travels. That's how Jimmy's Glass has stayed busy on Palisade Avenue for years: doing the smaller job when the smaller job is the right call.

We clean the break, inject and UV-cure optical resin under vacuum, then polish the surface flush.
The spread stops, strength returns, and the repair blends in — most are barely visible when done.

As a rule of thumb, chips up to about the size of a quarter and cracks shorter than a few inches are good candidates. Once a crack stretches past that, reaches the edge of the glass, or sits in your direct line of sight, replacement is the safer bet.
A good repair fills the break and stops it from spreading, but a faint mark can remain where the damage was — how noticeable depends on the size and shape of the original chip. The point is strength and safety first; most repairs come out looking a whole lot better than the crack did.
Sooner is always better. A chip that's stable today can run the moment the temperature swings or you hit a bump on Gorge Road. The longer you wait, the higher the odds it grows past the point of repair — so if you can, come by within a few days.
Frequently it does. Many comprehensive policies cover chip repair with little or no deductible, since insurers would rather pay for a small fix than a full windshield later. Check with your provider, and we'll handle the repair side once you know where you stand.
Yes. If your windshield took a few hits — say a cluster of small stars from highway gravel — we can treat several spots in one visit, as long as each one is still within repairable size and none has started to run. It's usually still cheaper than a replacement.
