Where to get windshield rock chip/crack fixed?

I was getting my windshield tinted on my other car and Han from Song's noticed that I had a chip that was barely starting to spread on the windshield and told me it was fixable.

Any recommendations for this kind of fix in the South Bay area?

Yup, what he said. Get it fixed asap, temperature changes will make it grow.

My friend and his dad do this for a living. If you haven't found anyone or haven't fixed it let me know. He's in the Ontario area, but used to service the Glendora area. They do travel, just not sure how far.

Although temperature changes will affect it, they won't be drastic depending on how bad the chip is. I used to do audio competitions and I was rushing things and accidentally jumped on my windshield rather than sitting on it and cracked it with my ass. Since it needed repair, I figured I'd have some fun with it. At the mid 135 to low 140 dB level (TermPro, official meter used in SPL comps), the crack did not spread much, if it all (that's with quite a bit of windshield flex)....I wouldn't say hurry and get it fixed, but doing so as soon as you can would be best. You're safe though, don't worry

Hey can you tell me how much your friend would charge to fill/fix a crack i have? it never spreaded. i bought the car with it and the previous owner said it never spreaded... it hasn't spreaded now so i think it's fixable. Also how do i reach your friend? Thanks...

So I called a mobile glass repair, and it turns out the chip was already filled in. But, the crack has spidered a little bit (less than the size of a quarter). It's hardly noticeable, which is why I didn't notice it until the tinter saw it.

Might have to just replace the whole windshield...

They do this for just little rock chips as well?

Even after being cleaned, when the sun sets just right, it almost looks like I have some rain drops on the windshield.

If this was fairly affordable, I would want them smoothed out.
