Victoria Evans from Esprit Windscreen Repair gives her tips on improving windscreen safety in the winter months.
I’m sure we’re all aware of the increase in dangers of driving in the winter months. The darker evenings and mornings, poor weather conditions and rain induced potholes can cause all manner of issues for drivers. The vehicle windscreen is one of the key areas to consider, and garages can help their customers to get their screens ready for winter in a number of ways.
What can you do?
One of the main things you can do before winter is to ensure that your customers’ windscreens don’t have any chips or cracks. These are common at this time of year, with poorer driving conditions and more potholes. A small chip or crack, if left, can turn into a larger crack, meaning that a more expensive windscreen replacement will be needed. You can save your customers’ money by carrying out a quick repair now, to avoid problems in the future.
Additionally, repairing while any chip is fresh always means that the repair will be of optimum quality. There’s less dirt and debris to remove from the damage and a quick repair will leave the screen looking and acting as good as new. With the Esprit kit, you can repair heated screens and all screens with new ADAS technology, which really helps to save your customers the cost and time of a screen replacement.
Are you offering windscreen repair to your customers as part of the service and MOT that you offer? It’s quick and easy to learn how, and with the Esprit kit, you receive training, either at the Esprit premises in Staffordshire, or they’ll come to you. It can add a valuable source of revenue with a great profit margin, and it will keep your customers happy, with a cheap and effective alternative to windscreen replacement. Esprit have all their training videos freely available on the website, which you can find by scanning the QR code, as well as information about the different kits available and training options.
