 Mobile Auto Glass Repair in Ann Arbor, MI

Can a windshield chip or small crack be repaired without going to a shop?

Yes. For most chips and short cracks, A2 Auto Glass can send a technician to your home or office and complete the repair on site in under an hour. Mobile repair uses the same resin injection process as our in-shop service, and it's usually the faster, cheaper option compared to waiting for the damage to spread into a full replacement.

When Mobile Repair Is the Right Call

Mobile repair works well for the kind of damage that's common and catches people off guard:

• A single chip from a rock or road debris

• A short crack, typically under 3 inches, that hasn't spread to the edge of the glass

• Damage that isn't sitting directly in the driver's line of sight


If your damage fits this description, there's usually no need to bring your vehicle in at all.

How Mobile Repair Works

  1. Call or send us a photo of the damage so we can confirm it's a good candidate for repair
  2. We schedule a technician to come to your home, office, or wherever your vehicle is
  3. The technician cleans the chip or crack and injects resin to restore the glass's strength and clarity
  4. The repair cures on site, usually in under an hour, and you're back on the road 

Why Fixing It Early Matters

• A repaired chip is far cheaper than a full windshield replacement

• Small chips can spread into cracks fast, especially with Michigan's temperature swings

• A clean repair keeps the windshield's structural integrity intact, which matters in a collision

• Most insurance policies cover chip repair with no deductible, since it's cheaper than a claim for full replacement

When Repair Isn't Enough

Some damage is too far gone for repair and needs full replacement instead:

• Cracks longer than about 3 inches

• Damage at the edge of the windshield

• Multiple chips or cracks in one windshield

• Damage directly in the driver's line of sight

If our technician determines your damage needs full replacement rather than repair, we'll walk you through your options, including mobile replacement.
