As October unfolds in Potchefstroom, Glasfit Potchefstroom has exciting news for local drivers and homeowners. We’ve quietly launched a new mobile windscreen chip repair service at the end of September, meaning you no longer have to come to us, we’ll come to you.
One of our certified technicians can meet you wherever is most convenient: whether your car is stranded on the roadside, parked at your office, or in your driveway at home. This on-site service literally brings “the workshop to you,” echoing the industry motto of 100% mobile convenience.
In practice, that means a quick on-the-spot fix so a tiny chip never gets a chance to turn into a costly crack. And as part of South Africa’s leading Glasfit network, with over three decades of glass repair experience, we’re backing this new service with the same safety-first expertise customers have trusted for years.
Mobile Chip Repairs: Convenience Wherever You Are
Imagine you’re late for work and notice a fresh chip in your windscreen. Instead of putting your day on hold, just give us a call. Our technician will arrive with a fully equipped mobile repair kit. Using SABS-approved resin, we’ll fill that chip on the spot (often in minutes) and have you safely back on the road with minimal delay.
In fact, one glass specialist notes that chip repairs can be completed “in as little as 10 minutes”. Even our case studies show that fixing a chip takes only about 30 minutes (versus 90 minutes or more for a full windscreen replacement). Because we repair rather than replace whenever possible, it’s faster, cheaper, and even greener for your car.
Office or school pickup: Too busy to drive to a workshop? We can meet you in your work or school parking lot. Simply park your car and let us handle the rest; in minutes you’ll be back on schedule.
Home and family: Even at home we’ve got you covered. If a stray ball breaks a window, or hailstorms chips your windshield in the driveway, just call us. Our mobile crew can repair vehicle glass in your garage or replace a cracked living-room window pane without disrupting your day.
By adding this service, Glasfit Potchefstroom makes glass repair as easy as calling a friend. We want every customer in Potch to feel safe and stress-free, knowing that expert help is just one phone call away.
Why Mobile Repair Makes Sense
Early chip repair keeps you safe and saves money. A small chip may seem harmless, but all it can take is a bump, pothole or even a quick temperature change to spread that chip into a large crack. We encourage drivers to fix chips before they become bigger problems. In practical terms, repairing the chip now means avoiding a full windscreen replacement later.
It’s both time and cost-effective: our repair process gets you back on the road in a fraction of the time (often under half an hour) and at a fraction of the cost of replacing the glass. Insurance policies often cover chip repairs fully, so you may pay nothing for this quick fix. And because the original windscreen stays in place, the repair is more environmentally friendly too.
In short, mobile chip repair is practical: you save on towing or downtime, keep your car legally roadworthy, and often avoid any insurance excess. Our friendly technicians will explain the process in plain language, and you’ll be back on your way in no time.
Automotive Glass Services
Our mobile service complements the full suite of automotive glass offerings at Glasfit Potchefstroom. Whether it’s a tiny chip or a shattered windshield, we handle it all. We use SABS-certified safety glass and precision techniques to ensure every repair or replacement meets your vehicle manufacturer’s standards.
For example, we repair minor windscreen chips (restoring your view and strength) and replace windscreens when needed - all with high-quality glass that fits your car perfectly. If the damage is beyond repair (or covers the driver’s line of sight), we’ll fit a new windscreen quickly and efficiently.
Importantly, Glasfit Potchefstroom also replaces side and rear vehicle windows (which cannot be repaired once broken) using exact-match glass. Every installation is done by certified techs, so your vehicle remains secure, quiet, and looking like new.
In practice, this means if you have a crack, chip or smashed window, you don’t have to visit multiple shops. Whether it’s the family car, your work fleet, or even a small truck, Glasfit Potchefstroom’s auto-glass specialists have the right glass on hand or on the truck to fix it.
Residential & Commercial Glass Solutions
Glasfit Potchefstroom isn’t just about cars, we’re also your local experts for home and building glass. From broken window panes and patio doors to custom shower enclosures and mirrors, we can restore any glass element in your home or business.
Using our fitment centre or mobile team (in collaboration with our Brackenfell partner, where needed), we replace cracked living-room windows, install energy-efficient or tinted glass, repair sliding doors, and more. Our experienced installers fit everything to SANS standards, ensuring a perfect seal and lasting durability.
For homeowners, this means you can call on Glasfit Potchefstroom for fast solutions: a smashed bathroom window, a fragile skylight, or a damaged glass table top - we handle it. We also offer modern glass upgrades, like laminated safety windows or decorative frosted glass, to improve security and comfort. In short, we bring Glasfit’s signature quality and service to every corner of your home or office, as if we were caring for our own family’s property.
