Every fleet manager needs a "Dedicated Windscreen Repair" company !!
Every fleet manager needs a "Windscreen Repair" company to support them !
On all too many occasions when I talk to Fleet managers they tell me a very familiar story......we have a nationwide deal with "large windscreen replacement company" and they do our repairs for us .... its not till I question how many repairs have they completed for you in the last 12 months that the penny normally drops and they see that 90% of damage to windscreens is being replaced rather than repaired ?
This has a huge effect on cost especially now that all HGV vehicles from 2015 have ADAS cameras fitted as standard equipment, and many manufactures are insisting on O.E parts only to be fitted ! and then of course the re calibration.
GlasWeld services many of the world’s largest fleet operators. These blue chip clients include the major companies in car hire, distribution, retailing and bus & coach operators. The customer base also includes emergency services, utilities, local government and the Ministry of Defence.
We also work closely with many of the worlds leading insurance companies.
• If the chip on your windscreen is smaller than a credit card, GlasWeld can usually repair it
• Our national mobile service will come to you, inspect your fleets glass on a regular monthly basis and repair, with your permission, any damage found.
• It only takes around 25 minutes to repair a chip.
• A repaired screen, both standard laminated and ballistic, retains over 98% of its original strength.
• You'll save the expense of a replacement windscreen.
• You will help to protect the environment by repairing and not replacing.
• GlasWeld repair workmanship is guaranteed to pass the MOT and last for as long as you own your vehicle.
At GlasWeld we design and build our own equipment, it represents the culmination of years of research, design and testing by GlasWeld's Technical Services team. It removes both air and moisture from the break.
• Draws the highest vacuum possible which evacuates air completely and quickly from break
• Vaccum allows resin to fill break completely with GlasWeld's laboratory tested resins, resulting in more secure repairs
We support many companies along side their current windscreen provider,
And in many cases they will not approve a windscreen to be changed unless one of our Technicians have seen it first..... we can repair stone damage up to 40mm and even cracks up to 150mm on commercial fleets ( providing its within the specified zone and conforms to BSAU242A ).....
This repair was completed for one of our Coach and Bus operators.... double impact and 40mm across ... most companies would have referred this for replacement, and on this particular vehicle that would have meant £1,850.00 + the down time associated with replacement of this type.
As you can see from the completed repair all of the cracks have filled, and air pockets removed .... the only visible area is the scar from the initial stone damage to the glass.
And I think you will agree this was the best £50.00 they spent that day.
If you would like to learn more about our services and how we can support your fleet, please get in touch,
Kind regards John Anderson
