I charge the same for all chips. Doesn't matter what type they are. A long crack repair is $95 bucks.

Hi Coitster

Would this imply that the time taken and technical expertise required to fix all types of damages are the same? (except cracks of course).

Dude the customer only knows there is a chip in his windshield you dont really propose to give them some half as* spiel on the variety of chips so because they have a type A chip the price is? lets face it dude in the customers eyes a chips a chip some are more difficult to fix so be it flat rate per repair is the industry standard lets not confuse the customer any more than they already are.

Stars and combo's are the most difficult. However the customer doesn't know that or care. You will have to charge the same for different chips. Long cracks are completely different. I wouldn't touch long cracks until you have done this fora few years. Must harder to fix, and takes lots of patience.

I believe Delta describes it as a crack over 5 inches. I don't do them yet, still practicing.

All I know is charge a lot and do a lot works for me. Long cracks on our pricing is anything over 2 inches, makes the customer try harder to get them fixed quicker. As you all know we do very long cracks on many large vehicles, with glass costing over
33,000 + screen repairs over 18 years and still learning.
