Windscreen chip repair in Tauranga

About 30 minutes, and you can drive immediately afterward. No curing wait, no recalibration — it’s the quickest fix in auto glass. We can do it at our workshop or come to you.

$100 flat — and with many insurance policies, nothing at all, because insurers often waive the excess on chip repairs. Either way it’s a fraction of the cost of the replacement you’ll need if the chip spreads. Send us a photo and your rego and we’ll check your cover for you.

No — and anyone who says otherwise is selling you something. As a rough guide, a chip smaller than a coin, away from the driver’s line of sight and the edge of the glass, can usually be repaired. Bigger damage, spreading cracks, or edge damage mean replacement. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you straight.

Almost — most repairs leave only a faint mark you’d have to look for. The main job of a repair isn’t cosmetic, though: it’s bonding the glass back together so the damage can’t spread. Strength first, looks a close second.

It can, if it’s in the driver’s line of sight or has started to crack. A quick repair before your WOF is due is a lot cheaper than the replacement you’ll need if it spreads.

Honestly? You’re on borrowed time. Heat, cold mornings, the demister, and rough roads can all turn a chip into a crack overnight — and once it cracks, repair is off the table. If you can see the chip, it’s worth fixing this week, not someday.

Usually yes, and often with no excess — insurers would much rather pay for a small repair than a full replacement. Tell us your insurer and we’ll check your cover and lodge the claim for you.

Yes. Chip repairs are ideal for mobile service — we cover Tauranga and only need about half an hour and access to the windscreen.
