Get that chip in your windscreen repaired

The recent Autoglass® TV ad illustrates what can happen to a chipped windscreen in frosty weather. Autoglass® go on to outline just how important it is to get chips in your windscreen repaired.

The key advantages of tackling chips well before they become larger is that;

(a) it normally won't cost you anything as windscreen repair is usually free if you have fully comprehensive insurance (and most people do).

(b) if you don't do anything and the chip turns into a crack then it will cost you money (your insurance excess) as a cracked screen will need to be replaced.

(c) freezing winter weather can turn chips into cracks (the moisture in the chip expands when it freezes and the chip could grow and become a crack).

With people's pockets empty after Christmas and the credit crunch biting, a free windscreen repair is a way of saving more money and potentially avoiding an expense that people had not budgeted for.
