And, of course, what then happens later on is that your insurance premium rises (on many policies) as it is deemed to have been a claim. What may be worth doing if you've the time to spend on it is a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority. Finally I think that Autoglass is like ChipsAway a franchise and you may find that it can be done cheaper through the contacts of any garage that usually offers an MoT testing service.

I didn’t think about my local garage, I’ll give them a try, I have seen set ups in car parks where they are doing windscreen chips, but when you look for them there never there.

strimmer_13 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 You can buy the kits of eb*y or Amazon for a tenner. Dead easy to do, takes about hour. I've done chips / craters in my own windscreens upto about 15mm. Cracks forget it tho. Only thing I've learned when doing one, is really clean the chip out with a Stanley blade, even if it means removing more than intended.
