Driving down the highway at 69 miles per hour, I couldn’t help but notice the small windshield chip that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere. It was my first windshield chip, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was repairable. With only 3700 miles on my car, I was surprised to see the chip, but I knew that highway driving in California could lead to these kinds of incidents.
I remembered getting a windshield chip on my Model 3 early on when I was driving around on the highway. It was a similar situation, and I had it repaired at a shop in OC. So, I decided to do the same with this new chip and headed to the same shop to see if they could fix it for a minimal cost.
Before going to the windshield repair shop, I needed to stop by a supercharger to top up my battery. The supercharger in Irvine was a 250 kilowatt charger, and I hoped to get a quick charge before heading to the repair shop. As I plugged in, I watched the kilowatts climb, reaching over 200 at one point. It was impressive to see how fast the car could charge, and I knew I wouldn’t have to wait long before hitting the road again.
After a quick charge, I headed to OC Windshields to get the chip repaired. The shop was located right off the highway, making it easy to find. The technician quickly assessed the chip and got to work filling it in. It only took about an hour for the whole process, and the cost was only $65. I was relieved that it was a quick and affordable fix, and I knew that it was better to address it sooner rather than later to prevent further damage.
The before and after photos of the chip showed a significant improvement, and I was happy with the results. The technician did a great job filling in the chip, and it was barely noticeable afterward. I was glad that I had taken care of it promptly, and I knew that it was a small price to pay to avoid having to replace the entire windshield.
Overall, the experience was smooth, and I was grateful for the quick and affordable service provided by OC Windshields. It was a reminder of the importance of addressing windshield chips promptly to prevent further damage. As I drove away from the shop, I felt relieved knowing that my windshield was in good condition once again. It was a small bump in the road, but one that was easily fixed thanks to the expertise of the technicians at OC Windshields.
