On-site chip repair for vehicles that need to keep moving
A windshield chip on a company vehicle is a small problem with an annoying way of becoming a big one. Left alone, it can spread into a crack, and a cracked windshield means a $600–$1000+ replacement and a vehicle out of service while it is done.
Pacific Windshields repairs chips on-site. We come to your yard, lot or office, fill the chip with resin, and the vehicle goes back to work. Most repairs take about 30 minutes, and same-day service is often available.
Who we work with
| Type of operation | How on-site repair helps |
|---|---|
| Car dealers | Chips on lot inventory and trade-ins are repaired where the cars sit, so they are ready for the front row without a trip to a glass shop. |
| Company fleets | Sales cars, service vans and pool vehicles get repaired in the office lot while the driver is at their desk. |
| Work trucks | Contractors, landscapers and delivery trucks pick up a lot of chips. We repair them at the yard before or after a shift. |
| Rental vehicles | A quick chip repair keeps a car on the rental line instead of parked waiting for a new windshield. |
| Property management | Maintenance trucks and community vehicles get repaired on the property. |
Why commercial vehicles chip so often
Fleet vehicles drive more miles, and many of those miles are on roads that throw rocks. Work trucks follow gravel haulers on I-15 and SR-78, pull onto construction sites with loose aggregate, and drive the dirt roads around ranch properties in Fallbrook, Bonsall and Valley Center. Delivery vans spend all day in stop-and-go traffic behind other trucks. More exposure means more chips, and every one of them can grow with the next hot afternoon or cold morning. See will a windshield chip spread?
What repair saves a fleet
- Cost. Repair costs a small fraction of a replacement, and the savings add up across a fleet.
- Uptime. The vehicle never leaves your property and is ready to drive as soon as the repair is done.
- Original glass. The windshield is never removed, so the factory seal stays intact and there is no new install to go wrong.
- Cameras left alone. On newer vehicles with driver-assist cameras behind the glass, repair avoids the recalibration that often follows a replacement. More on ADAS cameras and repair.
One customer, 14 windshields
Sam C. put it simply: “James has now repaired 14 windshields on my vehicles…” That is how most fleet work goes. A chip shows up, you text a photo, and it gets fixed before it becomes a problem.
Make chip reporting part of the routine
The fleets that spend the least on glass are usually the ones that catch chips early. A few simple habits help:
- Ask drivers to check the windshield during their walk-around and report any new chip the same day.
- Have them snap a photo with a coin next to the chip, so you can forward it straight to us.
- Put clear tape over a fresh chip to keep out dirt and wash water until it is repaired.
- Keep chipped vehicles out of the automatic car wash until the repair is done.
A fresh, clean chip also gives the best-looking repair, which matters for dealer inventory and customer-facing vehicles.
How fleet repair works
- Call or text. Tell us how many vehicles have chips and where they are parked. Photos of each chip help, sent to 760-500-9281.
- We confirm what is repairable. Chips that pass the quarter test are most likely repairable. Anything that needs replacement is flagged honestly so you can route it elsewhere. We do not do replacements.
- We come to you. Repairs are done on-site, one vehicle at a time, at a time that suits your schedule.
- Back in service. Each vehicle can be driven as soon as its repair is finished, with a lifetime warranty on the repair.
Our full process is described on the rock chip repair page, and the on-site requirements are on our mobile windshield repair page.
