TYPES OF WINDSCREEN CHIPS
The New Zealand Standard specifies the following types and sizes of damage for windscreen repair.
CHIPS CAN BE REPAIRED DEPENDING ON SIZE:
MINIMUM CALLOUT FEE $20
We can come and repair your windscreen Chip. However there is a minimum $20 Callout fee if you get us to come to you and we are not able to repair the chip, either because it has already been repaired before or because the damage is too big. If you come to us however we will check it for free.
CRITICAL VISION AREA (CVA)
The CVA is the shaded area below in the diagram. It's an area 150mm either side of the centre of the steering wheel (or driver's seat), 90mm from the top of the windscreen and 65mm from the bottom of the windscreen. WOF & COF inspections are more strict on windscreen repairs inside the CVA. If you're not sure whether a chip in the CVA can be repaired, call ASTROFIX now to arrange an inspection.
