Even if it is only small, damage to your windscreen can not only impair your vision, it can also jeopardise your and your passengers’ safety. So here at
Most stone-chip damage repairs can be carried out within half an hour and are usually covered under your comprehensive insurance policy. Excess charges are normally waived and no-claims discounts are usually protected. However, should your insurance policy not cover glass repair, you’ll find Glass Repair from BMW is very cost-efficient, especially if it prevents the damage spreading and having to replace the windscreen altogether.
Genuine BMW Parts
As all repairs are carried out by our professional BMW Approved Technicians using only Genuine BMW Parts, you can be sure that your repair is of premium quality and conforms to British Standards Institute guidelines. Once a repair has been carried out, there will be a slight mark from the impact left behind. However, this is very small and difficult to see, and it does not impair the driver’s vision.
“We will always attempt to repair a windscreen if we can,” commented our Aftersales Manager. “We will certainly attempt this if the damage is not directly in-line with the driver’s field of vision, less than the size of a £2 coin and more than 5cm away from the edge of the windscreen. “Should the damage be beyond repair, we can replace the windscreen using Genuine BMW Parts covered by a two-year warranty. Like windscreen repair, windscreen replacement is usually covered by comprehensive insurance.”
Expert advice
Once we have ascertained if the damage can be repaired, we can usually give you an indication of how successful the repair will be.
