Mobile Windscreen Chip Repair Melbourne - From $129
A small stone chip can turn into a major windscreen crack overnight with local temperature shifts and road vibrations. Legacy Autoglass provides fast, professional mobile chip repair services across Melbourne. We restore your glass’s structural strength in under 30 minutes—saving you time, hassle, and the cost of a full replacement.
What to Do the Moment You Spot a Chip
- ✓ Keep it clean & dry: Place a strip of clear tape over the chip immediately to prevent moisture, dirt, and road grime from contaminating the glass resin pocket.
- ✓ Book promptly: Chips spread easily—especially during cold Melbourne mornings or hot afternoons when using the car heater/AC.
- ✓ Avoid direct thermal shock: Refrain from blasting demisters or air conditioning directly onto the glass until the repair is complete.
The $2 Coin Rule
If your windscreen chip is smaller than a $2 coin and hasn't begun spreading into a crack, it can usually be repaired on-site. If it's larger, webbed, or directly in the driver's line of sight, a full replacement is recommended for safe road visibility. Snap a quick photo and send it through for a free, honest appraisal.
