How much does it cost to crack a windshield

Costs for windshield repairs vary by location, auto glass service provider and damage type. Typical prices range from $60 to $100 for a single chip, and discounts may apply when fixing additional chips on the same windshield. Crack repair prices are similar, although fixing a longer crack may cost $125 or more.
A repair is a cost-effective solution to keep the crack or chip from spreading while hiding the original damage. The industry standard is that if a windshield crack can be covered with a dollar bill, or measures less than 3 inches, it's possible to simply repair the windshield without having to replace it entirely.
Federal regulations state that you cannot drive with a windshield crack or chip larger than 3/4 inch in diameter, two cracks within three inches of each other, intersecting cracks, or cracks directly in the driver's view.
