I need to get a windscreen for the car for the warrant. Is there a fairly cheap place in Christchurch to get one. It is a 1987 Toyota Corolla. Have rung around a couple of places, and seems to be around the $260 price for one. Is there cheaper! TIA.

I have a client who fits windscreens - he may want a cash job at some stage - but i don't want to post his details online obviously lol

Did it fail because of a chip or crack! If so it may be fixable.

It was a crack. Too big to get fixed. That's okay male_timaru. I can understand that. Have rung around, as I had said in the first post, and the cheapest I have found is about $250.00. I have tried the wreckers places as well, and they don't have them. Looks like that may be it. I have until next week anyway to have the money, so will be fine. Thanks for the help.

A lot of people will say it can't be fixed when it can. I had one fixed alomst a foot long last week, most guys would say it caouldn't be fixed but you just need someone good. It's certified to W.O.F. standard too.

How did you get them to fix it then! I have been told it is too big to just fix. Which company did you go through! Sorry about the questions, but if I can find a cheaper option I will. Thanks again.

It was an indipendant small comapany up here in Auckland. Maybe try some of the smaller operaters in your area, not one of the big natainal companies.

Whatever you do, DO NOT take it to Smith & Smith.

depending on why it cracked it may be covered free by insurance
