Windshield Repair Forum

Many mobile repair jobs are usually a previous repair where the top has come off or a surface chip, as most of my work is insurance it isnt a billable job but as i am already at the address i explain to the customer that it just requires a pitfill which will be free of charge.

Some of my trade customers ask me to do these pitfill repairs to improve the cosmetic appearance of the vehicles they have for sale. I invoice them as temporary surface chip repairs.
