The important role your windscreen plays in the safety of your vehicle
Your windscreen plays a vital role in the safety of your vehicle as it provides up to 30% of the vehicle's structural strength and the airbag on the passenger side relies on support from the windscreen once the airbag is activated.
Vehicle manufacturers often recommend that cameras used by safety systems such as lane departure warnings and automated braking are calibrated after a windscreen replacement to continue to work properly.
So hiring a trained specialist to fix your windscreen is essential. Learn more about our workmanship guarantee.
