If you are looking to repair a crack in your car windscreen, it can be quite a minefield to ensure that you find a provider that offers a quality service, and one that is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.

There are plenty of options available when you are fixing a cracked car windscreen. Whether it be a full replacement of the windscreen, or get the chip or crack professionally repaired – your windscreen specialist will provide an overview based on the state of your windshield.

I have a crack in my windscreen, do I need to replace it or can I fix it myself?

The decision regarding whether or not the windscreen needs to be repaired or replaced will come down to the individual situation.

If it has a simple chip that can be repaired and it is in a reasonable size, your windscreen repair man will fill the crack and seal it. If the crack is too large or it is in a location that doesn’t permit a solution to fix it, you will need to replace the entire windscreen.

At the end of the day, you need a fully functioning windscreen to protect you and your passengers while you are driving. Your safety is of the utmost importance, so ensuring your windscreen crack is repaired or replaced correctly is essential.

What is the cost of fixing a crack in my windscreen?

As an estimate, the cost of repairing a windscreen can be around $50 to $80. The cost of replacing the windscreen will vary based on the make and model of the car, but it could cost up to $300.

It is a much better option to fix a crack than replace the whole windscreen, but it is all on a case-by-case basis.

A cracked windscreen can be an offence. If it obscures your view on the road, you should avoid using the car immediately and get it fixed as soon as possible.

If you are driving when the crack occurs, it’s a good idea to get the crack repaired as soon as you can. In the meantime, avoid driving where possible so your car is safe, and you don’t risk a fine from the police.

Again, your safety is the most important factor, and you might be taking a risk driving around with a cracked windscreen.

Will I need a special technician to help with this? Does any glass repairer do this?

There are registered and licenced technicians that can visit your home or work and repair your cracked windscreen.

The rule of thumb is that, if the crack is less than a $2 coin, you can leave it. But if the crack is in the driver’s vision you will need to get a repair. Your local windscreen crack repair technician can quote and review the damage to provide a solution that meets your needs.
