Our Windscreen Repair Services
We work on just about every type of vehicle you’ll see on South Australian roads. Small hatchbacks, family cars, work utes, 4WDs, buses, trucks, and even heavy diggers. Our team brings the right gear for every specific vehicle type across South Australia.
Windscreen Replacement
We fit brand-new safety glass that matches your car factory specs exactly. Our team uses industrial-strength glue that cures in under an hour for you. You can drive away much sooner because our adhesives bond incredibly fast. We make sure the new glass sits perfectly to prevent any annoying wind whistles.
Windscreen & Chip Repairs
We follow a strict repair-first rule to save you time and hard-earned cash. Our techs use a precision tool to pull every bit of air from the chip. We then inject a high-grade clear resin that bonds with your original glass. This keeps the factory seal intact and stops the chip from spreading further.
Mobile Windscreen Replacement
Our mobile vans bring the tools from our Pooraka headquarters to your home in Glenelg or your worksite out in Two Wells. We’ll come with tools to set the resin even on a cloudy Adelaide day. You save an entire afternoon by letting our expert team come directly to you.
Bus Windscreens
Keeping your fleet moving is vital for your local tour or school bus run. Our team stocks large windscreens for luxury coaches, school buses, and city transit vehicles. Porters Autoglass uses high quality seals to stop leaks on these massive vertical glass panels.
Truck Windscreens
We service everything from light Hino delivery trucks to massive Kenworth and Isuzu tippers. We understand that downtime can cost you dearly during your busy hauling weeks. We use extra strong adhesives to handle the vibration of heavy diesel engines on regional roads.
Vehicle Door & Rear Tailgate Glass
A shattered side window or rear glass leaves your car open to the weather. We clean up all the broken glass shards and fit a perfect new window quickly. Our team makes sure your door motors and lock systems still work smoothly after fitting.
Insurance Claims & Windscreen Insurance Repairs
Dealing with insurance paperwork is a massive pain that you should not have to face. We lodge your claim directly with RAA, Allianz, or Shannons to save you the hassle. Most customers with glass cover get their repairs done for no out-of-pocket cost.

Understanding Windscreen Chip Repairs
What if my windscreen cannot be repaired?
Sometimes a rock hits so hard it ruins the whole sheet of glass. If the damage is bigger than a two-dollar coin, it is likely toast. We will tell you straight if it is safe to fix or not. Actually, trying to fix a huge crack is just a waste of money. We replace the glass using industrial primers to stop any future rust leaks.
When is windscreen replacement required?
You need a new windscreen if a crack is in your line of sight. South Australian police can fine you if your view of the road is blocked. Basically, any crack longer than thirty millimetres means you need a replacement. Porters Autoglass ensures your new glass meets the high standards required for Adelaide rego checks. We also suggest a swap if the crack reaches the edge of the glass.
What causes windscreen chips?
Stone chips are the most common cause of windscreen damage, typically resulting from debris kicked up by other vehicles on the road. Chips can vary in size and severity, but even the smallest damage can compromise the strength of your vehicle glass if left unattended.

From repairs to replacements, we deliver fast, reliable, and professional autoglass services to ensure your safety and keep your vehicle road-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of windscreen chip repair in Adelaide?
If you have glass cover on your insurance, the cost is usually zero. For people paying cash, it starts from $99, often much cheaper than buying a whole new windscreen. We give you a clear quote before we even touch your car. Typically, a repair costs less than a tank of petrol for your SUV.
Can a chipped windscreen always be repaired, or is a replacement necessary?
We can usually fix it if the chip is small and fairly fresh. If dirt gets inside the crack for weeks, it becomes much harder to fix. Once a crack starts to look like a spider web across the glass, you need a replacement. We always check the damage first to save you as much money as possible.
How long does a windscreen chip repair take?
Most chip repairs are finished in about twenty to thirty minutes flat. You can easily wait in our lounge or finish a coffee at home. Replacement jobs take longer because the glue needs time to bond the glass safely. We will always tell you exactly when it is safe to hit the road.
Do you offer mobile windscreen chip repair services?
Yes, our mobile vans are fully equipped workshops on wheels for your convenience. We travel all over Adelaide and the outer regions to fix your glass. There is no extra stress for you because we bring everything we need along. Just park your car in a flat spot and we will do the rest.
Is there a warranty on your windscreen chip repairs?
We stand by our work with a lifetime warranty on all our installations. If a chip we fixed ever starts to grow, we will look after you. Porters Autoglass also offers free chip repairs for life if we replace your windscreen. This means you never have to worry about another stone chip again.
Can I claim a windscreen chip repair through insurance?
Absolutely, and we make the whole claim process very easy for you. We talk to RAA, Allianz, and QBE every day to sort out our customers. You do not have to wait on hold with your insurance company at all. Just show us your policy and we will lodge the claim for you.
What happens if I ignore a stone chip in my windscreen?
A tiny chip will eventually turn into a massive crack that ruins the glass. It’s only a matter of time. Adelaide heat can make the glass expand and snap the chip open quickly. Driving over a pothole or a speed bump can also trigger a big crack. Fixing it early is the best way to avoid a huge replacement bill later.
Do you offer other vehicle glass services alongside chip repairs?
We fix side windows, back glass, and even mirrors for all types of vehicles. Our team is also expert at fixing glass on big trucks and tractors. We also recalibrate the safety cameras that help you stay in your lane. Basically, if it is glass and it is on a vehicle, call us. We will fix it.
Do you provide car window tinting and other custom services?
Yes, we provide car window tinting services for every type of vehicle. This service reduces glare and gives you extra privacy while you drive. Other custom services offer precise ADAS calibrations to keep your modern safety sensors working. Ask our mobile team to come to you, whether that’s in Mile End, Thebarton or Adelaide CBD. All our tinting work comes with a lifetime guarantee.
