If you live in Cranbrook, BC or the Kootenay area, chances are you’ve experienced a rock chip on your windshield at some point. Fortunately, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) offers coverage for eligible rock chip repairs, helping drivers avoid more costly windshield replacements.

What is ICBC Rock Chip Repair Coverage?

ICBC’s comprehensive insurance covers rock chip repairs at no cost to eligible drivers. This means if your policy includes comprehensive coverage, and the damage is small and repairable, you can often get it fixed for free—without affecting your deductible or premiums.

Why Prompt Repairs Matter

Rock chips may seem minor, but they can quickly spread into large cracks, especially with temperature fluctuations or road vibrations. Acting fast can:

  • Prevent full windshield replacement
