Windscreen Replacement in Caboolture

Not immediately. The urethane adhesive needs to reach a safe drive-away strength first, and that depends on the product used and the day's temperature and humidity: a humid Caboolture summer morning behaves differently to a dry winter one. We give you the specific time for your job before we start, plus a few care instructions: leave a window slightly open, avoid slamming doors, and keep the retention tape on for the period we specify.

As a general rule, a chip smaller than a twenty-cent coin, sitting away from the glass edge and outside the driver's direct line of sight, is a repair candidate. Damage that reaches the edge, sits in front of a camera or sensor, or has already started running as a crack usually means replacement. We assess it in person before quoting, because the position of the damage matters as much as the size.

Either. Our mobile service covers Caboolture and the surrounding suburbs, and we can fit at your home, workplace or worksite provided there is level ground and reasonable shelter. If the weather is poor or the vehicle needs a calibration procedure best done indoors, our workshop at 28 Aerodrome Road is the better option. We will recommend one when you book.

Yes. Vehicles with driver assistance systems have a camera mounted behind the windscreen, and replacing the glass moves it. The camera has to be recalibrated afterwards or the system can misjudge lane position and braking distance. We identify this before booking so the calibration is scheduled as part of the job, and you are told upfront if it adds time or cost.

It varies mainly by vehicle. The glass itself differs in price between a base-model hatch and a late-model SUV with a heated wiper park, acoustic interlayer, rain sensor and camera bracket. Whether ADAS calibration is required is the other main variable. Give us your registration number or VIN and we will quote the actual part for your car rather than a range that changes at handover.

Many comprehensive policies include windscreen cover, sometimes with the excess waived for glass-only claims, but the terms differ by insurer and policy. Check your product disclosure statement or call your insurer before booking, and ask whether they require a specific supplier. We can provide an itemised quote and invoice with the glass part number for your claim.

For common vehicles where the glass is in local stock, we can often fit within a day or two, and we prioritise unsafe damage. Less common models, imported vehicles or windscreens with unusual sensor packages may need the glass ordered in, which adds time. When you call we will tell you which situation applies to your car instead of booking you in and then rescheduling.
