The title says it all.
Asda at Handsworth have a little pop up tent thing today and tomorrow (7th & 8th March) where there's a chap doing windscreen repairs absolutely free.
You must have full comprehensive insurance with almost any company except Direct Line. There's a list on site.
You need to fill in a form after which states satisfaction and gives insurance co details so that the company claim the money back.
I had mine done, nice chap, very helpful and I feel much more confident about my windscreen not cracking now.
Go and see him, get your car done and get him a cuppa from the cafe, it's freezing out there! :)

If you can't find the mobile guy, the same service is provided by all the national windscreen franchises e.g. Autoglass.

A guy came to where I work to fix a colleagues, so I asked him to look at mine.

Now where the stone hit the windscreen it seems to have rolled and put 3 tiny chips alltogether. The whole chip is less than a couple of mill. This means that they can't fix it. So its another windscreen for me.

Fully comp insurance does mean that if it can't be fixed than I only have to pay £50 for a new one.



History of current car and windscreens.
Bought about 2 1/2 years ago has accident damaged. Looks like kids had been throwing stones at windsceen while it had been stood so had it replaced.
within 6 months a mate spotted a chip in it (don't know how long it had been there). Got one of the one man, bodgit and scarper types to repair and he made a balls up of it. He must have known because without looking at it ( I was in work) I offered to pay him and he stated he would nip back in a couple of days to "clean it up". Never saw him again. Took it to the RAC winscreen place and they had to replace due to the bodge.
A few weeks ago got another chip. Was driving down the M1 and saw the stone as it was launched by a truck but had no where to go.

These guys are currently at Drakehouse Retail Park outside Focus DIY.

I picked up a stone chip a few weeks ago in Bakewell but hadn't got around to doing anything about it.

Really convenient - they just did it whilst I was shopping and have done a very good job!
