B. Where is the chip located? If it is located out of your line of vision it can be repaired. It can’t be repaired if it is located or spread on the edge of your windshield. Remember that if the previous situation happened to you, it is considered an unsafe vehicle for the state of Florida.

  • We are providing access to sanitizing wipes and alcohol gel wherever possible.
