    Default Windshield chip epoxy-resin repair in Pittsburgh area?

    Mandatory gun-related; looked like a BB or pellet hit the windshield while on highway. Or maybe it was just a rock...

    Left about a half-dollar-sized chip - now I either replace entire windshield or have the chip fixed with the resin-epoxy stuff.

    Found Three Rivers Autoglass and The Glass Doctor locally to Pittsburgh; does anyone have experience with either of these companies in fixing a chip in the windshield?

    Thanks tons in advance!

    Think I used Three Rivers once,as I recall,they did ok work.

    Last few were Safelite I think,that's who the insurance company sent.

    Good job on the chips. Hard to see the repair.

    Depends on how bad it is if the repair will be effective or a distraction,which rips up your wiper blades.IMO

    I have used both and also fixed two with a DIY kit. Its my opinion that the quality of repair really depends on the chip more than the company. Thats a big chip, all of mine were much smaller.

    Ended up using Advanced Auto Glass - they did a fine job at a reasonable price.
