When to Repair or Replace Your Windscreen
Depending on the extent and location of the damage, we may recommend either windscreen repair or replacement. If the damage is minor, such as a small chip, we can often repair it using our windscreen chip repair services. However, if the damage is more significant, such as a large crack, it may be necessary to replace the entire windscreen for safety reasons. Additionally, if the damage is in the driver’s line of sight, it’s essential to replace the windscreen for optimal visibility.

Common Questions About Windscreen Repairs and Replacements

OEM windscreens match your vehicle’s original specs exactly, while aftermarket options may differ slightly in materials or fit.
