Windscreen chip repair in Garsfontein
The Garsfontein Road upgrade means trucks, gravel and rubble on one of the east's main roads for many months. If a stone has chipped your screen there, a quick repair can save the glass.
Living with a 30-month road job
Rekord reported in April 2026 that the provincial upgrade of Garsfontein Road will run for about 30 months. During that time, construction vehicles, loose stone and temporary lanes are part of the drive. The metro also said in late 2025 that many patched streets in Garsfontein and Moreleta Park were failing again after rain.
If you drive through the works daily, check your windscreen often. A chip the size of a small coin is far easier to fix in the first days than after the summer heat has worked on it.
What happens at a Garsfontein chip repair
Many Garsfontein homes have a carport or garage, which suits a mobile repair. The technician inspects the chip, decides whether it can be repaired safely, fills it with resin and cures it. If it cannot be repaired, they will say so and you can ask for a quote for a new windscreen in Garsfontein instead.
- Repairing one chip or several on the same screen.
- Whether a crack leg has started, which may rule out repair.
- Mobile repair at home or a visit to a fitment centre.
- Your insurer's terms for chip repairs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I drive with a chip until the road works finish?
You can, but it is a gamble. Every bump and change in temperature can spread it. Repairing it early is cheaper than a new screen.
Does a chip repair affect my insurance?
Many insurers handle chip repairs separately and some do not charge an excess for them. Check your own policy.
What should I do until the technician arrives?
Cover the chip with clear tape, keep the screen out of strong sun if possible, and avoid slamming the doors.
