Compare the whole job, not just the glass
| Quote factor | Why it matters | What to provide |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle and glass | Different years and specifications can require different parts. | Registration, model and year if known. |
| Heating and fitted equipment | The required glass must accommodate the actual equipment. | Heating, camera, sensor or display details. |
| Work and access | The appointment needs a suitable place and agreed scope. | Postcode, parking and access information. |
| Camera arrangements | Manufacturer-dependent requirements can change the work involved. | Ask who handles them and what is included. |
| Aftercare and waiting | Installation time is different from the drive-away wait. | Tell us when you need the vehicle back. |
What a confirmed quote should explain
Before accepting, ask which glass specification is included, what fitting and equipment-related work is covered, and whether any separate charges or arrangements apply. The workmanship guarantee and appointment conditions should be clear as well.
We confirm the price before starting work. Send your registration, equipment details and postcode for a quote based on your vehicle and the complete job.
Paying yourself or using insurance
Windscreen cover and excess depend on your policy. MoneyHelper explains that a replacement excess is the amount you pay towards a claim. Check the policy, approved-repairer conditions and authorisation process before instructing work.
Do not assume a private quote can be billed directly to an insurer. We can provide a quote; cover, claim approval and payment arrangements must be confirmed separately.
