Windscreen repair — Democratic Republic of the Congo

What the service covers

repairing a recent chip;
windscreen replacement;

fitting seals and sealing;
recalibrating driver assistance.

Depending on the agreement, the job can include the diagnosis, the estimate, the repair or replacement, fitting the seals, recalibration where needed and the instructions before driving again.

Key points

Windscreen: field of view and sensors

A chip in the driver's field of view, or a large one, is not repaired: the glass is replaced. After a replacement, the vehicle is used again only after the curing time stated by the product manufacturer, and the fixings stay in place for the specified time. If the windscreen carries a driver-assistance camera, recalibration is needed: without it, the assistance systems can react wrongly.

Quote and vigilance in an emergency

An emergency call-out is still a service that can be discussed: ask for the estimated amount before the work starts, a detailed invoice at the end, and refuse to sign a document you have not read. Be wary of anyone piling up unjustified replacements, demanding immediate cash payment or refusing to put their estimate in writing. The worker must be qualified for the work concerned.

What affects the price

type of work;
the vehicle model;
parts and consumables;
location: home, office or car park;
length of the job.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.
