Afternoon all,

I had a lovely looking stone fly off the back of a quarry truck on the motorway the other day and give me a nice stone chip in my windscreen. It's about 3mm wide. Nothing serious, just right of the rear view mirror. So not in my line of sight not obstructing anything.

I rang my insurance to get a cost of repair, £25. However, actually starting this process seems to be a complete and utter ball ache! I spent 45 mins being thrown between departments, and even directed to a windshield replacement garage! Right Choice if anyone is wondering.

Anyway, I always see the little booths in places like Tesco's doing free repair, or at least a little offer. Should I just do this? Is it worth repairing?

My only concern is I live in the sticks and it gets VERY cold and with this weekend coming up. I feel it might be the first of many frosts and I don't want the chip to get worse.
