Alright. Let’s talk about your windshield.
You're driving through Auburn, it’s winter, and suddenly—WHACK!—a rogue pebble launches at your windshield like it's got beef with you personally. You flinch, maybe even throw out a “what the—?!” and now you’ve got this annoying little rock chip staring you down like it owns the place.
You gonna just… leave that there?
In summer? Maybe. In spring? Eh, it’s risky. But in winter? My friend, that chip is about to turn into a full-blown glacier crack. You don’t just “wait and see” when temperatures are dropping and the roads are sprinkled with more gravel than a backyard barbecue path.
Let’s get into why rock chip repair in Auburn isn’t just a good idea—it’s a winter survival strategy.
Look, if your windshield has a rock chip and you’re thinking, “Eh, it’s tiny,” let me explain something that Mother Nature and physics already know:
Glass expands and contracts with temperature.
That means when it’s cold in the morning, warm in the afternoon, then freezing at night? Your windshield is doing the automotive version of hot yoga. And that chip? It’s sitting there like, “Hey, I could split wide open at any moment—just say the word!”
Freezing temps cause cracks to spread faster
Heater blasts from inside your car create thermal shock
Moisture seeps into chips, freezes, and expands
Road salt and debris keep coming at you all season long
You can’t win. Not unless you fix that chip early, which is where Magnatech Autoglass in Auburn comes in.
Let’s not overcomplicate things. Fixing a rock chip is quick, affordable, and saves you hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars down the road. Because if you don’t fix it? You’re looking at full windshield replacement. And nobody wants to spend their snow tire money on glass surgery.
✅ Stops cracks from spreading
✅ Restores visibility
✅ Preserves your windshield’s integrity
✅ Prevents full replacement
✅ Fast mobile service, even in winter
And yes, it’s way more affordable than replacement. Think of it like flossing. Annoying? Maybe. Worth it? Always.
You might be picturing a guy in overalls with a blowtorch yelling, “Hold still!” Not the case.

Let’s address some lies the internet (and your neighbor Dave) might be telling you:
Oh, okay. And your dentist said that cavity would stay small, too?
By spring, that chip’s gonna look like a roadmap. Don’t be that person.
Unless you moonlight as a windshield technician on weekends… probably not. Save yourself the frustration (and money) and let Magnatech handle it.
You’ve got the chip fixed—awesome! Now don’t ruin it by treating your windshield like a gym locker.

Defrost slowly to prevent thermal shock
Keep washer fluid full (not water!)
Park in the garage or use a windshield cover if possible
Oh, and don’t pour boiling water on a frozen windshield. Unless you’re trying to make glass soup.
