$60 to $130 fills a chip and the work takes about thirty minutes; on comprehensive cover it is frequently settled with no deductible. If you drive Route 40 regularly this is the most useful half hour you can spend on the car, because stone off open-road traffic is what puts most Woodstown chips there in the first place. The test: smaller than a quarter, outside the driver's direct sightline, and not yet reaching the edge of the glass.

There is a reason stone damage out of Woodstown tends to arrive as a clean, deep cone rather than a scuff. On open road at fifty-five, a piece of gravel off a truck or thrown out of a field entrance is carrying real energy, and it hits hard enough to punch a crater into the outer layer and trap air underneath it. That trapped air is what turns a mark into a crack. It cannot escape, so every time the pane flexes, on a cold night, under a hot defroster, over a patched section on the way into town, the pressure works at the tip of the break and extends it.
A fill takes the air out and puts resin in its place. The cavity is cleaned, vacuum draws off what is trapped, clear resin is driven in under pressure until it reaches the end of every leg, then it is cured hard and polished flush. The pane is structurally whole again and the mark drops back to something you spot in low sun. It is not erased, and a shop that says otherwise is overselling. Where a fill will not do is a break bigger than a quarter, one sitting straight in the driver's view where even a good repair leaves a slight distortion, or one that has already run into the bonded outer inch. You are told which of those you have on the phone, before the drive, because twenty minutes each way is too far to find out at the counter.

Out here the chip usually happens somewhere you were not paying attention and announces itself on the drive home. The practical Woodstown problem is that a forty-minute round trip for a thirty-minute job feels like a lot, so people wait, and waiting through one cold snap makes the decision for them. Two things help. Call in the morning, because the doors close at four on weekdays and noon on Saturday and an afternoon plan often turns into a next-week one. And if the vehicle lives on a farm lane or a gravel drive, remember that the daily dust driven into an open break makes it harder to fill cleanly the longer it sits. That is a real argument for going sooner rather than at the weekend.

Usually not too late to stop it spreading, which is the main job, but it will not look as good as a fresh one. Resin fills a clean cavity completely and a contaminated one only partly, because road grime, wax and wash water leave residue that cannot be fully displaced. The structural result is still worth having: the break stops travelling and the pane is whole again. If you are on a gravel lane the contamination happens faster than most people expect, so bring it up as it is and you will be told honestly what the finish will look like before any work starts.
Short cracks can sometimes be stabilised and filled; long ones cannot. The dividing lines are length, position and whether it has reached the edge. A crack a few inches long, away from the perimeter and out of the driver's view, can often be stopped from travelling further. Anything reaching the outer inch of the glass is a replacement, because that inch is where the urethane grips and where the pane carries load in a crash. Give us the length against something you can measure and where it starts, and you will get a straight answer before you drive in.
