Volvo launches free puncture and windscreen chip repair service for every Volvo driver
Indeed, although it does exclude a large portion of the windscreen...

Isn't that because there are areas of the windscreen where a chip repair isn't legally allowed and the windscreen has to be replaced?

Yes, but I've had chip repairs in the area Volvo say they won't. It is a very large area! Indeed it probably wouldn't be inaccurate describe the area as the Windscreen!

Waste of time!
I had two stones hit my windscreen when using the M6 (I hate that motorway!) last week causing minor chips, albeit 2 at one impact and 3 at the other, with the latter being at high level and to the right (UK car).
I remembered getting an email about the free repairs so booked into the dealer I bought my car from and have it serviced who isn't my nearest dealer. Went today and was told after half an hour that the chips were too shallow to fill and that they had been polished and coated with resin! I said that I thought they were ground out before filling but obviously the receptionist didn't know anything so I walked out disappointed. Looking from the inside they are just as noticeable as before.
I've had stone chips repaired years ago which were about the same so have started looking for someone else. Have found Glas-Weld, any views on them or suggest any others?

Might be worth popping along to Autoglass, sometimes it’s free repair, sometimes a£10, but worth asking if it can be repaired??ChrisLF wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 7:23 pm Waste of time!

Thanks but I see mixed reviews for them. But I suppose that's true of all of them to some extent.
I'm also thinking it's best to stay clear of windscreen replacement companies as they may steer you down that route.
