Figure about 30 minutes, done while you wait, for a Hunts Point chip or short crack. On cost: comprehensive policies usually waive the deductible when the glass is repaired instead of replaced, so a great many of these jobs finish at zero out of pocket, and we submit the claim to your insurer ourselves.

Hunts Point runs on vehicles that cannot afford to sit still. Between the produce market and the cooperative market, tractor-trailers, box trucks and vans move through the peninsula all day, and a stone thrown off a trailer tire at the wrong moment leaves a star in somebody's windshield. A repair is the answer that keeps the vehicle earning. Half an hour in a bay, and the break is cleaned, vacuumed free of air, filled with optical resin under pressure, cured hard under UV and polished level with the glass around it.
There is a reason insurers like this outcome as much as you do. Filling a chip is a smaller claim than cutting out a windshield and bonding a new one in, so most comprehensive policies drop the deductible entirely on the repair side to encourage it. We handle the filing, tell you what your policy says before a tool comes out, and bill the insurer directly. If the break is too long or sits where you need to look, we say so during the free assessment rather than talk you into resin that will not hold. Every repair we do is backed for as long as you own the vehicle.

The drive in from Hunts Point is Bruckner Boulevard west to the Sheridan, up onto the Cross Bronx westbound, and off near Jerome Avenue. Call it five miles and fifteen to twenty minutes off peak, though nobody in this neighborhood needs to be told that off peak is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Hunts Point Avenue and the market gates back up with trailers, and the loose grit those rigs carry is exactly what ends up in your glass. For fleet vehicles the timing question is really a scheduling question: a windshield replacement takes the truck off the road for the work plus cure time, while a chip repair hands it back in about half an hour. That difference is why we push fleets to send the van over the moment a driver reports a star, not at the end of the week.
Same service, same price, other Bronx neighborhoods:
Yes. The glass on a van or a light truck takes resin the same way a car windshield does, and the size rule is the same: roughly a quarter for a chip, roughly three inches for a crack, outside the driver's line of sight. Commercial policies carry comprehensive coverage too, so the same deductible question applies. Send us the plate and the policy details and we will sort out the paperwork.
Because a repair costs the carrier less and removes the risk of a bigger claim later on. A chip left alone tends to run into a crack, and once it does the only fix left is new glass. Waiving the deductible on repairs is how insurers nudge drivers to deal with damage early rather than wait. That is why so many people find the repair costs them nothing at all.
