Instant Windscreens Launceston

Windscreen repairs, replacements, ADAS calibration and window tinting at Launceston, serving northern Tasmania.

​

Instant Windscreens and Tinting Launceston is located at 127 Invermay Road, Invermay, serving as the autoglass and tinting hub for northern Tasmania. The branch handles both workshop and mobile work, so glass and tinting jobs can be completed in branch or out on the road.

​

Part of Instant Windscreens, Australasia's largest independent autoglass fitting business with more than 40 years behind it since 1983, the Launceston branch brings that national standard of service to the local area, covering everything from a minor stone chip through to a full glass replacement and high-performance tinting.

​

What autoglass services does the Launceston branch offer?

​

The team works across all makes and models, from cars, vans and 4WDs through to trucks, buses and commercial vehicles. Their core services include stone chip and crack repair, using a resin process that restores strength and clarity and is often completed in around 20 to 30 minutes, frequently with no insurance excess to pay; full windscreen replacement, along with replacement of side, rear and roof glass and mirrors; ADAS calibration, which recalibrates the cameras and sensors behind modern driver-assist features after a windscreen replacement so they read the road correctly; and a mobile repair and replacement service that comes to a home, workplace or roadside, useful for dealing with emergency windscreen damage. Every job is fitted using quality glass that meets Australian standards.

​

How wide an area does the Launceston branch cover?

​

The branch's reach across the north of the state is extensive. Beyond the Launceston suburbs of Invermay, Mowbray, Newnham and Rocherlea, the service area runs through the Midlands towns of Ross, Campbell Town and Conara, across to Evandale and the Esk valley, and right out to the east coast through Swansea, Bicheno, St Helens and Binalong Bay. The mobile service is what makes that reach practical, sending a technician out fully equipped to complete most repairs on site, which is especially useful when a vehicle isn't safe to drive or the nearest town is some distance away.

​

When can a chip be repaired rather than replaced?

​

A repair is usually possible when the chip is smaller than a $2 coin, there are no more than two chips, the damage isn't in the driver's direct line of sight, any crack runs less than 3 cm, and the damage isn't near the edge of the windscreen. Repairing rather than replacing preserves the factory glass and its structural bond, costs a fraction of a new windscreen and turns the job around quickly. If a repair isn't safe, the team will say so and provide an honest assessment for replacement.

​

What tinting does the Launceston branch provide?

​

Window tinting is available for vehicles, homes and commercial premises. Car tinting blocks more than half the sun's heat and a high proportion of UV, cutting glare, improving comfort and reducing interior fading, with automotive film installed to meet the legal limits. For homes and businesses the same benefits apply alongside better energy efficiency and privacy, and safety and security films are available to help protect against break-ins. Most tinting jobs are completed in a single day.

​

Does the Launceston branch handle fleet and commercial work?

​

Yes. The branch is equipped for the glass and tinting needs of commercial and fleet customers, with experience across company cars, delivery vans, buses, trucks and larger vehicles. The mobile service is especially valuable here, keeping operational downtime to a minimum by coming to the depot or job site, and the team works directly with most major insurers to manage claims from start to finish.

​

Backed by the lifetime guarantee Instant Windscreens provides on glass repairs, replacements and tinting, the Launceston branch gives northern Tasmania a reliable, well-supported choice for autoglass and tinting, whether it's a quick chip repair in the workshop or an emergency replacement on site.
