Hi chaps,

Can anyone recommend an independent windscreen chip repairer in the York (or even Leeds) area?

Checked with insurer and windscreen excess is £70.00 eek so seeking an independent to carry out the work.

Thanks

BK

01132 553 030 Airedale Windscreens ask for Craig he's Leeds based but will probably do it or point you in the right direction.

The £70.00 will be if the glass is replaced.

Most repairs on ins are free to you, but in some cases there will be a £10.00 policyholder contribution (£25 for some).

My recommendation would be these two fellas - I use them both for subbing work to:

Autobody Windscreens: 07794 058 014

Yorkshire Windscreens: 01142 869 083

Both very competent and above all, decent and trustworthy blokes.

i had a chip about a year ago. bought a kit to do it myself at halfords... cost about 25 or 30 quid , enough material for around 4 or 5 chips.... was very easy to use and worked wonders.... basically you get a suction adhered clamp with a built in funnel, you add the resin then with a screw in resin pusher this pushes resin into the chip. you then remove the clamp and cover the chip with a film you get with the kit. you then leave the car window facing the sun for ten minutes. the uv rays cure the resin. peel off the film then with a straight blade supplied you scrape any excess off . as i say it is an amazing kit , does the job fantastic. cant recommend it enough and so easy to fix a chip. mine was deep too . i was told about it from a mate who works for autoglass he told me rather than paying for them at around 90 squid to get one of these... the results were great , 2 years or so on still good and its a permanent fix not temp
