Automotive Glass | Windscreens etc...

Swannie · January 25, 2012, 03:56:06 PM

Hi Guys, not sure if this is the right area but..
I work for an Automotive/building glass repair & replacement business and thought if I could help any of the great people that are
apart of My Swag I will.

Just to be clear I do not own a business & will not be personally making any coin out of it, just happy to steer you in the right direction to the people I know & and hopefully be able to get you a better deal..

Cheers
Greg

I'm looking at getting some custom made auto glass.

Any recommendations as to who?

Shane.

It depends on what mate, if you PM me with your thoughts etc I can get someone to contact you in queensland to discuss.

Swannie, would love to get your thoughts on the crack repair kits. Worth it? Or is it a job best left to the pros?

Mate to be honest never had a lot to do with the kits as I've always had a machine handy:). I do occasionally see them at shows and they appear to do a job by stopping the crack or filling a bullseye etc. If you are after an interim measure until you replace then its a viable option, if you want a repair that strengthens the screen back to pre damage and want a repair that has a lifetime guarantee send me a PM and Ill get one sorted at mates rates. The biggest things with the repairs is the resin that is used, generally poor quality resin will turn brown, while quality resins remain clear

Just a friendly bump. In have sorted out a few guys via PM, so if you need any glass for your car or house give me a hoy. Most things I can help with as I have contacts throughout Australia.

Whole thing took just over 10mins to fit and 30mins to dry before driving... too easy!

Love u.

GeoffA · January 25, 2014, 03:58:48 PM

The new 'screen is in. Extremely neat and clean job, with great care and attention on display from the installation experts. Even had the personal touch from the man himself....

Many thanks Greg. Much appreciated.....

Good to see "Frank" as well. He needs to get out more, though......

Now that's just taking personal service a bit to far

Barry G · February 09, 2014, 08:57:09 AM

Hi Swannie,
I'm currently restoring a late 1960s VW 'Type 3 Variant'. I.e. the 'station wagon' version of the notch back (sedan) and fastback.
Any chance there would be windscreens available for these???
I don't 'need' one as such, and could get a second hand one if I did, but would be good to fit a new one if I can.
Cheers,
Barry.

Hi Swannie,
currently looking at buying an old 1995 hilux 2wd ute that is unreg'd and it'll need a new windscreen (+ other stuff ) to get back on the road. i know you're down South in Victoria, but can you tell me roughly (just need a ball park figure i should be paying) what i would be looking at as a replacement cost for such a job to get done?
P.M is fine if you like
Cheers for your time
