Terms of Business for vehicle glass repair and replacement services (third party suppliers)

Chip Repair

We do not guarantee each stone chip repair will be successful. Please note that we do not guarantee that an attempted repair to your windscreen will be successful in every case. Through no fault of our technicians, there is a risk of a crack appearing in the windscreen during the repair process and by ordering the Services from us, you acknowledge this risk. In the event that a crack does appear in the windscreen during the repair process, you may ask us to replace the windscreen for you. If we agree to do this, you will have to pay us an additional amount. We will notify you verbally of that additional charge before the replacement windscreen is fitted. If we are carrying out the Service through an insurance claim we will deduct any excess that you have already paid to us for the repair of the windscreen from this amount.

ADAS Calibration

If your vehicle has ADAS features that rely on camera or sensor technology attached or incorporated in the windscreen it is likely that those feature(s) will need calibrating following the replacement of a windscreen. We will attempt to calibrate those features with the most up to date software available to us at the time. If we attempt to calibrate those features you will be required to read, understand and agree to our ADAS Special Conditions in addition to these Terms and Conditions prior to us carrying out the calibration. We will not be responsible for the cost of calibration completed elsewhere, if we are not able to calibrate the vehicle for whatever reason.
