The company states that it has specialised in mobile windscreen repair in Essex for several years and covers Basildon and the whole of Essex, as well as other locations in London and Kent.

It also states that it has been experienced since 1999. The team is described as expert technicians offering a fully mobile service at affordable prices, with rapid response and free quotes as part of the offer.
