Windscreen replacement made easy

Posted by robertwell on June 13th, 2013

Whether you’ve had an accident or find yourself the victim of vandalism, a smashed windscreen is never a pleasant thing to experience.  Leaving you off the road, it’s something that needs fixing as soon as possible. 

The good news is that most insurance companies cover a windscreen replacement as long as you’ve taken out comprehensive cover with them.  The even better news is that with most policies you won’t lose the no claims bonus you’ve worked so hard to build up. 

If your windscreen needs replacing your first step is to contact your insurance company.  They may arrange for a glass company to attend or they may ask you to source a local glass company who they’ll then reimburse for your <a href="http://www.mycarglass.co.uk">windscreen replacement</a> on your behalf.  The benefit of choosing a local company is the speed at which they can attend.  This is especially true if you choose a family owned windscreen replacement firm rather than a large, nationwide company who may struggle to fit your repair in. 

Once your glass replacement company has been chosen you can sit back and wait for them to come to you, whether you’re at home, work or somewhere else.  As soon as they arrive, they’ll replace your windscreen there and then.  It’s worth asking about the quality of their glass as you’ll want to make sure that the windscreen replacement uses the same quality glass as your original window.  Look out for companies who comply with OEM standards; giving you peace of mind that the glass used is the same high quality as the original. 

You’ll usually be back on the road within two hours of the windscreen replacement company arriving and if your insurance covers the repair you’ll have nothing to pay but your excess.  Use a reputable windscreen company and you should receive a guarantee on their work.
