When stones flick up and hit your vehicle’s windscreen, even a small chip or crack can quickly become a bigger problem. If you need to repair a car windscreen crack, it is best to get it checked as soon as possible. Contact Fast Autoglass on 0800 708 708 and our friendly team will let you know the best repair option for your vehicle.

Our mobile and workshop-based auto glass repair technicians can often resin-fill windscreen chips and cracks before they spread. This may help you avoid the cost and inconvenience of a full windscreen replacement.

Our windscreen chip repairs and crack repairs are completed to meet the AS/NZS2366.1 standard, using a repair system that complies with the AS/NZS2366.2 standard. A certificate of compliance is issued for all repairs that meet the required standard.

Fast Autoglass will carry out your car windscreen repair with minimum fuss. You are welcome to come in and see us, or give us a call for a quote on your windscreen chip or crack repair. Want to know more about cost? Read our helpful blog on Windscreen replacement costs
