Has your windscreen been damaged? It is essential to have your car examined by a car repair and automotive glass expert so that you can keep driving safely. But don’t panic! In fact, your windscreen might only need repairing. Our experts will examine each situation individually to offer you the optimal solution.

Windscreen repair or replacement?

Should your windscreen be repaired or replaced if it is damaged? To find out, it is essential to consult an expert in windscreen repair and replacement. They will be able to assess the extent of the damage to your windscreen. At Glassdrive, we only have one rule: We always prioritise repair. Why do we do this?

  • More durability: Repairing damage means preventing further cracks in the event of extreme cold or an impact on the road.
  • More commitment: We are all committed to reducing our environmental impact. This means that repairing instead of replacing is a given for us.

When we must replace

How do you know whether to replace or repair a damaged windscreen?

  • If your windscreen’s cracked, then there’s no doubt that it needs to be replaced.
  • If your windscreen is heated (small metal wires are embedded in the laminated glass) or athermic (small metal flakes are embedded in the laminated glass), that means it is impossible to simply repair.
  • If your windscreen has one or more damaged spots, then 4 simple questions allow you to make an initial diagnosis yourself to determine what type of intervention your car needs to ensure safe driving.
