Campbelltown Windscreens – Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a small chip in my windscreen really be repaired?

    Yes — if the chip is small (generally less than 16 mm) and not directly in the driver’s line of sight, it can often be repaired using a special resin injection process. This restores structural strength and prevents the damage from spreading. If left untreated, even tiny chips can expand into full cracks due to vibration, heat, or cold weather. At Campbelltown Windscreens, we inspect chips on-site and repair them wherever possible to save you time and money.

  • How do I know if my windscreen needs replacement instead of repair?

    You’ll likely need a replacement if:

    • The crack is longer than 75 mm at the edge or 30 mm in the central area
    • The damage obstructs the driver’s vision
    • There are more than two chips or cracks in the windscreen
    • The glass is badly pitted or weakened from wear
    •  Our technicians always recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution — and we’ll explain the reason for repair vs. replacement before we begin.

  • Is it illegal to drive with a cracked windscreen in NSW?

    Yes — NSW road rules classify a vehicle as unroadworthy if windscreen damage exceeds legal limits. For example, cracks longer than 30 mm in the driver’s view or more than two defects in that area make the car unsafe. Driving with such damage can result in a defect notice, fines, or a failed Pink Slip (eSafety check). In Campbelltown, roadside inspections are common, so it’s important to fix damage quickly.

  • How long does it take to replace a windscreen?

    Most windscreen replacements take 60–90 minutes, including removal, installation, and curing time for the adhesive. For vehicles with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) like lane departure or emergency braking, calibration adds a little extra time. Our goal is to complete the service in one visit, so you can get back on the road the same day.

  • Can I drive my car immediately after windscreen replacement?

    Not straight away. The adhesive used needs curing time to set properly, which typically takes 1–2 hours depending on the vehicle and weather conditions. During this period, you should avoid driving to ensure the glass bonds securely. We’ll let you know the safe drive-away time once the job is complete.

  • Do you offer mobile windscreen replacement in Campbelltown?

    Yes — our fully mobile service means we come to you at home, work, or even roadside. This is especially valuable if your windscreen damage makes driving unsafe or illegal. Our mobile vans are equipped with everything needed to perform chip repairs, full replacements, resealing, and even ADAS calibration on-site across Campbelltown and South West Sydney.

  • What is ADAS calibration and why is it important after windscreen replacement?

    ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) include features like lane departure warnings, emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. These systems often rely on cameras mounted behind the windscreen. After a replacement, the cameras may be misaligned. Calibration ensures the systems function accurately and safely. At Campbelltown Windscreens, we provide full ADAS recalibration so your safety features continue working exactly as the manufacturer intended.

  • Do you stock windscreens for all car makes and models?

    We carry a wide range of windscreens in stock at our Campbelltown warehouse, covering most popular makes and models including Toyota, Mazda, Hyundai, Ford, Holden, Nissan, and more. For less common vehicles, we can source the glass quickly through our supplier network. Having local stock means we can often provide same-day replacements without long waiting times.

  • How much does it cost to replace a windscreen in Campbelltown?

    The cost varies depending on your vehicle make, model, and whether calibration is required. On average, windscreen replacement in Campbelltown ranges between $250 and $600, while chip repairs are usually between $80 and $150. At Campbelltown Windscreens, we also offer up to $200 off replacements and beat any written quote. Contact us for a fast, tailored quote.

  • Will windscreen replacement affect my car’s warranty?

    No — as long as the replacement is performed by qualified technicians using glass that meets Australian Standard AS/NZS2080, your manufacturer’s warranty will remain intact. Our certified processes ensure your vehicle stays compliant, and we back every job with our own lifetime workmanship and glass warranty for extra peace of mind.

  • Do you handle insurance claims for windscreen replacement?

    Yes — we work with most major insurers in NSW. Depending on your policy, windscreen repair or replacement may be covered with little or no excess. We can help process the paperwork and liaise with your insurer directly, making the process simple and stress-free.

  • Can you fix water leaks or wind noise around my windscreen?

    Absolutely. These issues are usually caused by worn or damaged rubber seals. Our rubber resealing service restores the proper fit around your windscreen or windows, preventing water ingress, fogging, and annoying wind noise. This helps protect your interior and ensures a more comfortable drive.

  • Do you replace truck and commercial vehicle windscreens?

    Yes — we provide heavy-duty windscreen replacement for trucks, vans, and commercial fleets. We use reinforced glass and specialist installation techniques designed to withstand high mileage and tough road conditions. With our mobile service, we help minimise downtime for businesses in Campbelltown and beyond.

  • What should I do if my windscreen cracks while driving?

    If your windscreen cracks while driving, stay calm. Pull over safely and assess the damage. Avoid slamming doors or driving over rough surfaces, as vibration may worsen the crack. If visibility is impaired or the crack is large, do not continue driving. Call Campbelltown Windscreens and we’ll send a mobile technician to your location for emergency replacement.
