Call a windscreen repair service if you notice a chip or crack that is smaller than a £2 coin, if the damage is in the driver’s line of sight, or if the crack is spreading rapidly due to temperature changes or vibration.
Ask about the technician’s certifications, the repair time and whether they use a mobile service, details on warranty coverage, and confirm the total cost including any hidden call‑out fees before you commit.
Prepare the vehicle by parking in a safe, flat location, clean the windscreen to remove dirt, gather your policy details and any photos of the damage, and ensure you have a valid contact number and any relevant insurance claim information ready.
