After a trip up the A1 I had two chips on my windscreeen. With the weather getting colder, I thought it best to repair asap. Made an appointment for 15:00 hrs, finished by 15:30 hrs. All done to a prefessional standard at a good price. Happy chappy. Definitely recommend.

I have used Advanced Autoglazing previously for a replacement windscreen and then again to repair a chip in another windscreen. I was impressed at the time by Mike's attitude, care and professionalism. I recently bought a panel van to convert to a campervan and wanted to have some windows fitted. I therefore did a lot of research and discovered a few good fitters around the country but also many horror stories online. I then found out that Mike's company also undertook window fitting for camper conversions and although still a bit nervous about having holes cut in my pride and joy, I approached
