Wellington City

Traffic heading into Wellington city with office towers and the hills behind

Wellington is the country's coolest little capital for a reason, renowned for its high-speed, gusty spring-time winds that keep a steady supply of debris airborne and sometimes ground-based objects become unlikely projectiles, these include tree leaves, branches and the odd unsecured trampoline. On-street parking in the inner suburbs and tight inner-city car parks that are forever attempting to fit more cars, can sometimes mean vehicles find themselves bumping each other causing damage or shards of glass frosting everywhere. Whether you or another person's vehicle were inadvertently rubbed up the wrong way, our auto glass professionals are here to not take the mickey, but to help with your auto glass repair and windscreen replacement to get you back on the road smiling.

Lower Hutt & Wainuiomata

Tree-lined residential street in Lower Hutt with parked cars

The Hutt Valley is a popular spot for community activities along the Te Awakairangi river. Its flat streets have many roads that lead south to the Petone foreshore, where people walk with their dogs and ride bikes, away from the heavy traffic on State Highway 2 and the Hutt Road. Those main roads often mean long queues and busy side streets, and the odd roadworks adds even more time to the trip that can cause traffic backing up from the bottom to over the Wainuiomata Hill. With so many trucks and other vehicles passing by, there are a lot of moving parts and potential for stray contact from a stone. We cover the entire Hutt valley all the way to Upper Hutt.

Upper Hutt

Cold, frosty mornings are common in Upper Hutt, and a vehicle left out overnight in winter often wakes up with a layer of ice across the windscreen. The windscreen is built to protect you from harsh weather, but pouring hot or boiling water on icy glass can shock it, making it expand too quickly and crack. It's much safer to rinse the ice off with the garden hose, use a de-icer spray, or start the car and let the demister do the work. If a crack has already appeared, a strip of clear tape placed carefully over it can help stop it spreading and give you time to get it seen to before it becomes serious.

Porirua

Row of colourful boatsheds by the beach in Porirua

Porirua is one of four cities that make up the Wellington metropolitan area, looking out to Mana Island and the Tasman Sea beyond. It’s also where the motorway opens up onto Transmission Gully heading north, and with traffic travelling at 110 km/h, the constant wear on the road surface can shake stones loose. From Whitby to Plimmerton and down to the boatsheds at Titahi Bay, local roads and coastal weather keep testing vehicle windscreens. Windscreen glass is designed to be strong and secure against even the toughest coastal weather, but a stone chip can be a weak point in that armour, so it’s worth getting any damage looked at early.

Kāpiti Coast

Houses on the Kāpiti Coast looking out to Kāpiti Island

Kāpiti Coast drivers spend plenty of time on the Kāpiti Expressway, and for many, the 50-minute drive into Wellington City is a daily, weekly or monthly habit. With Kāpiti Island on the horizon and the beach never far away, the salty sea breeze carries sand and grit that can wear on the glass over time, so coastal windscreens tend to take a bit more of a beating. From Paekākāriki to Waikanae, one of our team is never far away, so getting your glass sorted won’t mean losing half a day driving into the city.
