Our Repair Service - What We Offer

1. Damage Inspection & Assessment: We begin by checking the size, depth and location of the chip or crack. This helps us determine whether a safe repair is possible or if a replacement is the better option, especially when the damage is in the driver’s line of sight or near the edges of the windshield.
2. Use of Proper Automotive-Grade Resin/Repair Materials: For repairable damage, we use automotive-grade windshield repair resins. These materials are designed to seal the damaged area, improve clarity and help restore strength, making the chip or crack less likely to spread due to heat, vibration or everyday road impact.
3. Professional Repair by Trained Technicians: Your windshield is repaired by trained technicians using the right tools and a careful finishing process. The goal is a neat, long-lasting repair that supports visibility and safety, so you can drive with more confidence, without rushing into a full replacement.

Why Windshield Repair Matters

1. More Than Just a Windscreen: Your windshield supports the car’s safety system. It adds structural integrity to the cabin, helps maintain clear visibility, and can affect how airbags deploy during an impact.
2. Small Damage Can Grow Quickly: A tiny chip from road debris can turn into a longer crack over time. Heat, sudden cooling, potholes, and everyday stress on the glass can cause it to spread, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a sudden break.
3. Early Repair Saves Time and Money: Fixing minor damage early is usually faster and more cost-effective than a full replacement. It also reduces downtime, avoids larger bills later and helps you drive with more confidence.
4. Better Visibility, Safer Driving: Even small cracks can cause glare at night or in the rain. Repairing early helps keep your view clearer, which matters on busy roads.

What Types of Damage Can Be Repaired

1. Common Chip & Crack Types We Can Often Repair

   Small impact damage like Star Break, Bull’s Eye, Half-Moon, Bee’s Wing, Cloverleaf, and Combination Break is usually repairable when it is caught early and has not spread too far.

2. Areas that are Typically Eligible for Repair

   Repairs work best when the damage is away from the outer edges and not in the driver’s primary viewing area, where even a faint mark or distortion can become distracting while driving.

When Repair May not be Viable

A replacement may be the safer option if the crack is too large, the damage is too severe (through layers), or it is near the edges, where the glass bears more stress. In such cases, we will guide you to the right solution, including windshield replacement.

Benefits of Repair Over Replacement

1. Quicker Service, Less Waiting: When the damage is small and repairable, fixing it usually takes much less time than a full windshield replacement. You get back on the road sooner, with minimal disruption to your day.
2. More Budget-Friendly for Minor Damage: A repair is typically more cost-effective than replacing the entire windshield, especially for small chips or short cracks. It is a practical option when the rest of the glass is in good condition.
3. Keeps the Original Windshield Intact: Repair does not require removing the windshield. This makes it less invasive and helps preserve the factory-fitted fit and seal, which is critical to long-term performance and safety.
4. May Help Protect Your No Claim Bonus: If you plan to use insurance, repairs can sometimes be easier on your pocket than a full replacement claim. Since repairs are usually cheaper, many customers choose to repair first to avoid affecting their No Claim Bonus, where applicable.

When Repair Is Not Recommended

1. If a crack is too long, too deep, or has reached the inner layers, repair may not hold well, and replacement is safer.
2. Chips or cracks near the edges, pins, or seals are under greater stress and can spread quickly, so repair is often avoided.
3. Multiple chips or a large combination break may exceed the safe repair limit, affecting visibility and strength.
4. Damage in the driver’s main line of sight can leave slight distortion or glare, so replacement is usually recommended.
5. If the glass has heavy pitting, peeling layers, or a failed past repair, replacing the windshield is the best option.

What Customers Can Expect

1. Quicker Service, Less Waiting: Minor chips and small cracks can be repaired within an hour or so, depending on the extent of damage and access.
2. Simple Aftercare: For the next day, drive gently where possible. Avoid rough roads, do not use high-pressure water directly on the repaired area, and do not apply additional stress to the windshield.
3. If the Damage Grows Later: If the crack spreads or visibility worsens, contact us for a quick reinspection. We will reassess the damage and guide you on the next step, including replacement if needed.
