OUR TESTIMONIALS
FAQS About Vehicle Glass Repair & Replacement
Can a chipped windscreen be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Whether a windscreen can be repaired or requires complete replacement depends on the size, position, and severity of the damage. Smaller stone chips and minor damage may be suitable for repair, whereas larger cracks or damage within the driver’s direct line of vision may require a replacement windscreen. All the more reason to contact our experts quickly.
Can a cracked panoramic sunroof be repaired?
In many cases, cracked panoramic roof glass will require replacement rather than conventional glass repair. The appropriate solution depends on the type of glass, the extent of the damage and the manufacturer’s specifications.
Can you replace side and rear car windows?
Yes. Side and rear vehicle windows can be damaged through accidents, attempted theft, vandalism and external impacts. Replacement requirements vary depending on the vehicle and the type of glass fitted. Contact Castle Coachworks to discuss the damage and available options.
Will my vehicle need specialist calibration after windscreen replacement?
Some modern vehicles have cameras, sensors, and driver assistance systems integrated into or positioned around the windscreen. Following replacement, these systems may require specialist ADAS calibration in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements.
How do I arrange an assessment for damaged vehicle glass?
Give the team a call 01604 580582 or fill out the quote form on our website with details of your vehicle, including its make, model and the type of glass damage sustained. Photographs can also help provide an initial understanding of the damage and the potential replacement requirements.
Can vehicle glass repairs or replacement be covered by my insurance?
Depending on your motor insurance policy, damage to your windscreen, vehicle windows or panoramic roof glass may be covered under your policy’s glass or accidental damage provisions. Cover, excess payments, and any applicable restrictions will vary between insurers, and policies.
If you are considering making an insurance claim, we recommend checking your policy details. Our team can help poin you in the right direction.
Can I pay privately for vehicle glass repairs or replacement?
Yes. If you prefer not to make an insurance claim, you can enquire about arranging repairs or replacement privately. The cost will depend on the vehicle, the type of glass required and the extent of the damage. Speak to a member of the team about this option.
