Glass Repair and Replacement for your Alphabet vehicle
Your vehicle's windscreen makes up 30% of its structural strength and often contains Advanced Driver Assistance Systems used for safety features like lane departure warning and automatic emergency breaking, so even the smallest crack could turn into a major issue.
Keep your windscreen in perfect condition with our 24/7 glass management system. With trusted suppliers and preferential rates, you can choose from over 190 UK fitting and ADAS calibration centres – or have one of our 1,700 mobile technicians come to you.
Our glass service is pay on use and not automatically included as part of your maintenance package, so you will need to have signed up in order to access the service. Talk to your Fleet Contact to check if this is available to you.

Your questions answered
When to get damage repaired
It's always best to get any chip or crack repaired straight away. Fixing any small damage is generally quick and inexpensive. Left unattended it can quickly spread, restricting your visibility and undermining your vehicle's structural strength.
It’s also important to know that driving with a damaged windscreen can be seen as a motoring offence. If the damage extends for 40mm or more your vehicle will fail its MOT.
How to know if you need a fix or replacement
Our guidance is that a damaged windscreen should always be repaired first, rather than replaced. Windscreens are split into A, B, C & D zones. In Zone A, which is centred on the steering wheel, you can only repair damage 10mm or less in diameter. In other zones, the limit is 40mm.
Knowing the importance of ADAS
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) are designed to alert drivers to potential road hazards. They use a combination of cameras and sensors often built into the windscreen.
When a screen is replaced, its angle and position can change. So, to make sure the cameras and sensors continue operating safely, they must be perfectly aligned and re-calibrated.
