Windscreen repair, $?

[Roodosutaa]

Hi all, does any one know roughly how much it costs repair a chipped windscreen? Got a small crack less than 2cm long from a wayward stone on the motorway, it's not getting bigger but if it can be repaired for a reasonable price then I'm not taking chances.

Thanks in advance

Novus came and fixed one on mine recently onsite for $120. It would have been cheaper if I'd been able to go to them.

Thanks mate. Hmm not cheap, might wait till I get a few more stone chips and cracks and do it all in one hit to get my money's worth

From what I've heard, if you have windscreen insurance on your car's insurance policy, you can get the repair done for free. Windscreens O'Brien have been advertising this a bit lately.

If you wait you are more likely to have it spread and not be fixable, then you'll need a new windscreen. Also they charge per chip I believe, so it's not $120 for any number of chips...

I'd paid $70 a couple of years back to get a car through roadworthy.

just a word of advice if you are going to leave it be very carful my sister left hers and she got a stone flung at her windscreen on nearly the exact same spot (i know whats the fricken chances!) which actualy punctured a hole throught the winscreen , chips arnt to bad but cracks can somtimes severly weaken windscreens , minde you she was driving a gemini. just a heads up.

I have a number of small chips (millimetre) that look horrible. is there something that can be used to buff out (or rather fill in) these small chips?

Sorry to hijack the thread...

Recently had my windscreen replaced by O'Brian for $370.(Genuine)
I was quoted $80 to fix the crack before it developed into the crack that required the screen needing replacement...(Thanks for forgetting dad!!)

I have just got my windscreen replaced through insurance. When I was getting it done (Windscreen O'briens) I asked them how much it would cost through them If I didnt have insurance they verbally quoted $280 which is better than NRMAs quote of $310. Mind you none of these are Genuine VW as they wouldve cost more
