SERVICES › GLASS REPAIRS
Auto Glass Repair and Windscreen Replacement Christchurch.
Stone chip, windscreen replacement, smash claim glass. When the damage goes beyond the glass, one workshop sorts the whole job.
From windscreen chips to full glass replacement, Autobody & Glass Repairs has handled vehicle glass since 1999. When your glass damage comes with panel damage, paint damage or rust around the frame, getting it all sorted in one workshop saves the bounce between three different providers. Insurance smash repairs covering glass and bodywork. Hail damage covering the windscreen and the roof. Stone chip repair before the crack spreads. Windscreen replacement during a respray or restoration. Twenty-six years of vehicle glass work in Christchurch, done as part of complete repairs.
Why the windscreen shop misses what comes next
Most windscreen-only shops do one job. Swap the glass and move on. That works when the only thing wrong is a crack across the screen. It fails when the impact that broke the glass also dented the cowl, scraped the A-pillar paint, or cracked the surround trim. It fails when there's rust hiding under the windscreen rubber that should have been treated before the new glass went in. It fails when the insurance smash claim covered panel, paint and glass, and the owner ends up coordinating three different shops to finish the same job.
The result is a vehicle with new glass, but visible scratches around the seal, paint chips that turn into rust within six months, and weeks of bouncing between providers chasing the same claim.
