Repairs
We're mobile. We're not expensive. We're fast. We're very good at windshield repairs. If you have insurance you will not usually have to pay an insurance excess.
TYPES OF WINDSCREEN CHIPS
The New Zealand Standard specifies the following types and sizes of damage for windscreen repair.
Windscreens can be repaired if the damage is no larger than:
Outside CVA Inside CVA Crack 100mm 25mm Star 30mm 15mm Horseshoe 25mm 10mm Bullseye 20mm 10mm Crater 5mm 2mm Combination As for each type of damage in the combination
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.
