Autoglaze Launch Crackdown On CracksCategory: Automotive
Article posted by: Auto Glaze
According to Autoglaze, one of the country’s leading windscreen repair firms, the cold weather has not only affected drive time, it has also resulted in cracked windscreens, reduced safety and for many the size of their wallet.
Gareth Kilburn, Director at Autoglaze, the national windscreen repair specialists, said, "We have seen a huge increase in customers coming to us with a cracked windscreen caused by pouring hot water over it in an attempt to defrost it in the morning. Unfortunately for many, this could cause a small chip to turn into a rather costly crack.”
With repairs up by 30 per-cent, as a consequence of icy weather and snow showers, Autoglaze are keen to highlight where motorists are going wrong, especially as the deep freeze is set to continue throughout February.
Mr Kilburn added, "Winter really is the worst time to leave a small chip untreated. Temperature fluctuations can lead a chipped windscreen to crack of its own accord and with most car insurance firms offering windscreen cover there really is no excuse for leaving it to turn into a costly mistake. When a windscreen is left to turn into a crack it can reduce visibility if it cracks in motion.
Modern windscreens are made from laminated glass and consist of layers of glass and polymer forming an expandable and tear resistant assembly. In the event of an impact, the glass remains in one piece, by leaving a chip untreated, should you have an accident the glass could shatter.
Mr Kilburn added, "We invite customers to contact us with regards to windscreen quotes or further information and advice. It can be concerning if you think you have left a chip a bit too long, but we are able to repair around 95 per-cent of windscreen chips with no problem at all.”
