Thirty minutes and $60 to $130 fills a stone chip, and on a comprehensive policy with glass cover it is frequently nothing out of pocket. For a Robbinsville commuter the thirty minutes is the point: it fits inside a lunch break in an office or warehouse lot without the car leaving the site, which is why so many of these get done here at work rather than at a weekend.

This is the commuter's injury. You are on I-195 or the Turnpike, something loaded is two cars ahead, and there is a crack like a rifle shot against the glass. Nothing looks wrong at seventy. You notice the star a week later in low sun, decide it is small, and drive past it for four months. Then comes the first properly cold morning: the windshield is frozen, you put the defroster on full and hot air hits the inside of a pane that is at twenty degrees on the outside. The inner layer expands against an outer layer that has not moved yet, and the star you had been ignoring runs eight inches across the glass while you are still in the driveway. That single sequence accounts for an enormous share of the replacements done every January.
The repair takes half an hour: the crater is cleaned, the trapped air is drawn off under vacuum, resin is injected under pressure to the tip of every leg, then cured hard and polished flush. Where it is worth thinking twice is on a leased car, and there are a lot of those in this township. A filled chip is a faint mark you have to look for; an unfilled one that runs across the glass is a replacement somebody has to pay for, and at turn-in that somebody is usually you. Resin is the cheap version of that decision made early. The limits on it are unchanged either way: under about a quarter, outside the driver's direct line of sight, and not already reaching the bonded edge of the pane.

Robbinsville is set up better than most places for catching this early, and it is worth using. The township is full of large employer lots and the newer neighbourhoods have wide driveways, so a thirty-minute resin fill happens where the car already stands, with no time taken off and nothing rearranged. The pattern here is depressingly consistent: chips picked up on the highway between September and November, called in as cracks in January after the first hard frost and a defroster on maximum. If there is a star in your glass right now, the cheapest half hour you will spend on the car this year is the one that happens before Christmas rather than after it.

On a lot of comprehensive policies with glass coverage, yes, because the arithmetic favours them heavily. Paying for resin now avoids paying for a $250 to $450 windshield later, so glass repairs are commonly settled with no deductible at all. We invoice the insurer directly where the policy allows it and handle the paperwork, so in most cases you approve the job and never fill in a form. If your particular policy turns out not to cover it, you hear that before any work starts.
There is no fixed number of days, which is exactly the problem. What matters is what the glass is put through, and a Robbinsville commute puts it through a great deal: highway flex, expansion joints, and the daily hot-inside cold-outside cycle from November onward. A chip that would sit still for a year on a garaged weekend car can run in one morning on a car that does 130 and the Turnpike every day. Put clear tape over it to keep water and grit out, and get it filled while it is still a repair.
