A chip or crack in your windscreen doesn’t have to be a pain in the proverbial.
A mobile windscreen repairer can come to a location that suits you, at a time that’s convenient and fix and restore your damaged glass in no time at all.
But – and this is a big but – you do need to call in the repairers at the first sign of damage otherwise you could be putting the safety of the occupants at risk and compromising the structural integrity of the vehicle.
But back to mobile windscreen repairs. These seven advantages will leave no room for doubt that it’s the way to go when it comes to repairing damage to your vehicle’s glass.
1. Utmost convenience
So you’ve got a chip or crack in your windscreen. Why waste time going to a repair shop and sitting around idly while you wait in the queue for your turn? Or worse still, having to leave your car at the repair shop for the day and arrange a taxi or someone to fetch you? A mobile repair company comes to you, so you can make the appointment at a time, place and date that is convenient for you. Plus you can get on with your day while the repairer assesses the damage and does their job. It’s convenience plus!
2. Quick turnaround
A mobile windscreen repair can generally be done in a short space of time (often in less than an hour), so you don’t have to be without a vehicle for very long. Obviously, each repair job has to be assessed before the technician can make a call on how long the repair will take, but generally small chips and cracks can be sorted out very quickly which means you can be back on the road in no time.
3. Minimal downtime
For many people, their vehicle is indispensable to their working day and they need them to get to appointments, transport or deliver goods etc. A mobile windscreen repair is quick and convenient so there’s minimal unnecessary downtime which is a real bonus especially when time is money.
4. Same high quality
There’s no compromise when you use a mobile windscreen repairer. You get the same high quality and the same attention to detail that you would if you took your vehicle to a workshop. The mobile repair service uses the same equipment, they use the same genuine parts and accessories and they follow the same procedures as a technician in a workshop does – only the job is done at your convenience.
5. Affordable
Another surprising thing about a mobile windscreen repair service is that it’s affordable. The repair company doesn’t have the overheads of a major workshop so they can pass on the cost benefits to you.
6. 24/7 Flexibility
Murphy’s Law says if you’re going to get a stone flicking up onto your windscreen, it’ll happen outside of working hours or over a long weekend. It might even happen when you’re away from home on holiday. No worries. Many mobile windscreen repairers work around the clock, so you’re likely to find one who will be more than happy to come to you after hours and have the damage sorted in no time.
7. No insurance woes
The good news is that mobile windscreen repair services are often covered by insurance – and depending on your level of cover, you may find that there’s little or no cost to you. Always check your policy first, and then make sure that the mobile repairer you choose is accredited by your insurance company.
Remember, don’t ignore damage to your windscreen. It will almost always end up getting worse and could cost you a lot of money in the long run. Worse still, there is a real safety risk in driving around with damaged automobile glass, so it’s just not worth taking a chance – especially when you have the option of fast, affordable, convenient and quality mobile windscreen repairs.

Jason Squire started Autoscreens in 2010. With over 35 years of experience gained in both the UK and Australia, the company is well established as a leading provider of windscreen replacement and autoglass repairs in Perth.
His journey to becoming a certified repairer license holder status with DMIRS (and business repair license MRB3703) began many years ago. He was born and brought up in the UK – the country where his long career in the automotive industry began. In common with many of the world’s best tradespeople it all started with an apprenticeship. For Jason, this was in vehicle bodybuilding and a specialisation in vehicle conversions.
He followed that up with several additional professional qualifications, including a Grade A Vehicle Body Building Certificate from the Road Transport Industry, a GQA level 2 in NVQ Automotive Glazing and a Level 2 qualification in Joining Materials by Welding from the UK Engineer Training Authority.
During his studies, Jason was also a part-time volunteer in the Royals signals with the Reserve Territorial Army. Between 1991 and 1995, Jason completed his Phase One Signallers Course with the Royal Armoured Corps and was awarded a Certificate of Trade Proficiency as a Territorial Army Driver Electrician Class 3. Training exercises took him all over Europe. He also represented the Signals in Rugby.
From there, he joined the armed forces on a full-time basis with the Queens Royal Lancers and continued to impress with his leadership skills and willingness to broaden his skillset, during which he lived in Germany. In 1996, he graduated from the Queens Royal Lancer Leadership Academy where he was named best recruit. His time with the Queens Royal Lancers he qualified as Tank Driver, Crew Medic and Gunner.
In 1999, Jason left the armed forces to join RAC Auto Windscreens. His skillset enabled him to fast-track his career to base supervisor and lead technician working with premiere dealerships in Crewe, Cheshire.
He also continued to volunteer in a number of different areas, including as a first responder with the West Midlands Ambulance Service and a scout leader with the Scout Association.
He relocated to Australia in 2008 with his young family and spent his first two years down under as a head technician for a national windscreen company.
However, with all his experience, extensive qualifications and his abiding passion for the automotive industry, it was inevitable that he would start his own company and make his mark as an industry leader.
He started Autoscreens in 2010 and has grown the business into the leading windscreen repair and replacement company in Perth, servicing both domestic and commercial customers. Autoscreens has a certified Motor Vehicle Repairers Licence MRB3703 issued by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
