W/screen repair ?

[scientific steve]

just remembered that i need to get a chip sorted in my windscreen before i get my mot next week

so i thought i'd phone up those chaps you see on the telly, autoglass,

just as well i was sitting down at the time, 70 quid to sort out a chip

i thought about letting a few seagulls crap on the car to cover it up and save myself the 70 pounds, but i cant do that to the paintwork

anybody got any better ideas or do i just have to fork out me mulla to these robbers ?

shocked and bemused

Steve,if you are fully comp insured Autoglass should do the job

I think if its a repair the excess doesn't apply,

If you get a new windscreen its a £50 excess usually,

Anyone had a chip repaired before, if so does it leave the mark although it feels smooth or should it be completely invisible after the repair?

Thanks

Chris.

I had a chip repaired on my Honda CRX (Free of charge on the Insurance) - amazing couldn't tell where the chip was before!!

Had a chips done before.

Check with your Insurer. Im with elephant and they dont deal with Autoglass they deal with RAC Windscreen repair. £70 I think is the standard fee for a chip but you can get it done through insurance free or for £50 it depends. Visibilty of the repair depends on the chip. Ive had one that was a small chip they injected resin and you could hardly see it. On the other hand Ive had a chip that was almost cracked right through - black hairline.

They repaired that but can still see it. Not as bad but you know its there.

thanks for that info guys,

i'll just have to wait till i get me airse back into aberdeen before i can have a shuftie at the paperwork

the chip is right in the drivers eye line, so i hope that this repair is as good as you guys say it is

cheers
