Windscreen Repair

[RedHP]

Having had a small crack in my windscreen, one which would not affect any MOT's as is very low on the drivers side, I called Admiral who put me through to National Windscreens.
To my surprise, there is now a £25 charge for minor repairs rather than the free service that I thought was in force. Apparantley the new £25 excess was introduced in Sep 2011, should have read the policy in detail

Sounds steep, I only paid a Tenner with Tesco.

Thats outrageous, the whole point of free chip repairs was to save windscreen repairers the cost of replacing the whole thing, so in the long run saving them money.

I have 3 vehicles insured with admiral and after forking out the £25 for a chip recently, and not being able to decide who I wanted to repair the chip I won't be using them again.

At renewal time last February the price increased 50 percent...lucky for me is just done a new business quote online which was cheaper than my previous year. The girl on the phone didn't know what to say when I countered her renewal with that price 

Needless to say, I paid the lower price! NFU in my opinion are the best insurers by far.
