Windscreen Repair Training Course

Duration: 1 Day

If we do not have a training course available on the dates you wish to book, please send us an email and we can either try and arrange something, or will let you know when one becomes available. 

Repairing a windscreen, rather than replacing one, is cost effective, saves on down time and prevents further damage from occurring. A typical repair uses less than £2.00 in materials and on average, takes 20 minutes to complete, after which the customer is free to drive away. Having a chipped windscreen repaired also prevents it from spreading into a larger crack that will later require the whole screen to be replaced.

Bullseyes, star breaks and combination breaks can all be repaired. These repairs are far more than cosmetic; as well as keeping the vehicle in an ‘as new condition’ we show you how to carry out repairs to meet BS 242 and be acceptable for the MOT test. All laminated windscreens, clear or tinted, heated or unheated, can be repaired in cars, coaches and commercial vehicles. Windscreens are repaired in-situ: so there are none of the problems such as water leaks that are often associated with windscreen replacement. Plus, of course, repairs are the preferred choice of the major insurance companies.

The ability to carry out windscreen repairs can be sold as an added value service to an existing customer base, giving bodyshops the potential to increase their revenue on each job.
