I just call up autoglass because I need to have a chip repairedon my windscreen. The guy told me it would cost between 80-110 to fix I know I can get a new screen from vw for around 110(minus VAT) but I thought I'd see what they charge to replace it, 300 So I guess I'll be buying a new windscreen to fit, just need to find some help now
That seems a bit much!! Go through your insurance company. Im with direct line and they charged me 10 excess to get a chip repaired.
I go through an american company and I don't think I pay any thing extra but I could always check with them
Autoglass are the biggest and dearest windscreen company ring around and you'll get it done much cheaper. Replacing a screen on a mk2 is easythough all you need is a piece of string..
phone your insurer and get the number of the windscreen company they use, it's usually free to have a chip repaired!
American insurance companies dont have no claims bonus'. My windscreen is pretty scatched up anyway so 75 for a new one isn't too bad
How odd - sounds like they're taking you for a ride.. Funnily enough I called Autoglass a couple of days ago with pretty much the same Q; was quoted 85.80 for "removal and fitting" of screen, and 87 +VAT for a genuine green screen from TPS. Did you tell them it was an un-bonded screen?
It might sound odd to you but thats just how it is in america. When my wife(she's british)first told me about no claims bonus, I had no idea what it was Pigbaldder gave me a number to a local company so it's only gonna cost 75 Didn't think to tell them it wasn't bonded
Exellent - got it sorted now? IIRC there are the following: 191845101A - Green tint, 84(ish) + VAT. According to TPS only two left at the factory; not sure if this quantity is local or global (i.e. whether there will be any more when they run out). 191845101H - Green tint with top tint - NLA unfortunately. Think there are also colourless and blue tint versions, but I can't remember the numbers..
