Windscreen Chip Repair NOT Windshield Replacement
Posted by Glass Doctors
Glass Doctors will repair your windscreen in over 80% of all cases. Your insurers nominated supplier will replace it in over 80% of cases *click to see this will cost you the excess, typically £75, why risk it?
Only 16% of policyholers get a chip repair when using the nominated supplier! As opposed to 84% when using Glass Doctors! Many policyholders assume that just trusting the insurers nominated supplier means they would get their screen repaired, we give policyholders the facts to make an informed decision before the job is done.
We are over 30% CHEAPER so why pay over £100 to a large company and risk it being badly repaired ?
We specialise in MOT repairs in the drivers vision area, ”double strikes” like below and chips less than 50mm from the edge of the screen. We even originated the “£1 coin rule” that the windscreen industry now uses to assess the size of repairable chips. We do not advertise the concept of repair to gain lucrative replacement business like this: Click to see
Do you have a chip smaller than a £1 coin?
No. 1 for quality…
A household name is no guarantee of proper repair. See our testimonials page.
New Lifetime Warranty see “Prices” above
YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE YOUR INSURERS NOMINATED REPAIRER. Just ask them, it’s the law!**
If you are insured, its better to pay yourself and reclaim from your insurer than end up with a “free insurance repair” like this mess! you choose…
2) Ask how long the technician was trained on windscreen chip repair for (not fitting whole screens). Most large windscreen companies think you can train a technician in an afternoon! Then they let them loose on your car! All current Glass Doctors technicians have over 8 years experience.
3) Ask how many screens they crack whilst they are “attempting” to repair them. Our average crack rate is approx 1/750 ( 2 screens a year.) If we can’t do a decent repair we do not earn any money.
If we can’t repair it, no one can…and even if they’ve tried we may be able to rescue your screen. 10% of our business is rectifying other companies bodges!
No.1 for choice…
When you phone your insurance company and press “option #2 for glass claims” you can then get put straight through to a replacement company who answer the phone in your insurance companies name. You will think you are still speaking to your insurer…They may then say “you must use the nominated supplier” ( which just happens to be them! ) this is just not true. They may then go on to explain a lot of seemingly plausible reasons as to why a repair may not work for you on this occasion or how it can take a week or more for them to get out to you. Don’t believe it…get a second opinion…from us…
No.1 for price…
At Glass Doctors you can speak to the person who will actually work on your car, not a call centre.
Glass Doctors are cheaper than brand leaders because you do not have to pay the wages for the call centre staff and managers ( and we don’t ask for money before we have done the job or waste your time asking loads of irrelevent questions and try and sell you wiper blades when we get there.)
By using our new “anti-crack” repair fixture our top technician did not break one customers screen in 2009, 2010, 2011 and none in 2012 so far…

* a recent study click to see has shown that you will only get a repair from your insurance companies nominated supplier in just 16% of cases as opposed to Glass Doctors 84%. Even when that is carried out it is likely to look much the same and be filled with water or insufficient resin to be a ”repair” at all despite any guarantee that is issued.
One insurer got fined for misleading customers about choice of suppliers!http://www.windscreensandglass.co.nz/claim.html
