Can you repair a stone chip?

Yes — chips smaller than a R5 coin and outside the driver's primary line of sight can be resin-repaired in around 30 minutes. Most comprehensive insurance policies cover chip repair with zero excess.

Do you offer mobile windscreen replacement?

Yes. Our mobile fitment unit comes to your home, office, dealership or roadside anywhere across Gauteng — Randburg, Sandton, Fourways, Midrand, Roodepoort, Bryanston, Pretoria and Centurion at no extra charge for most suburbs.

Do you assist with insurance claims?

We handle the entire claim directly with Santam, Discovery Insure, OUTsurance, MiWay, Hollard, Old Mutual Insure, King Price, Auto & General and Naked Insurance. You only pay the excess (if any) on completion.

How long does windscreen replacement take?

Standard replacements take 60–90 minutes. ADAS recalibration adds 30–45 minutes. Allow an extra 60 minutes safe-drive-away time for the urethane adhesive to cure.

Can I drive immediately after replacement?

We use fast-cure Sika urethane, which gives a safe-drive-away time of approximately 60 minutes. Avoid car washes, slamming doors and rough roads for the first 24 hours.

Do you service Randburg, Sandton and Midrand?

Yes — these are core service areas. We also cover Fourways, Bryanston, Roodepoort, Rosebank, Pretoria, Centurion and the East Rand with same-day or next-day mobile fitment.
