Clear choice for glass work
Since North Canterbury Glass & Auto Glass moved into new premises in central Rangiora last year, they have gone from strength to strength, building on a 33-year reputation as the go-to experts for any glassrelated matter.
From windscreens and balustrades to sliding doors and splashbacks, the Albert St workshop is a true one-stop shop for anything to do with glass.
Sales manager Barry Grives says the company’s guiding philosophy has always been a case of ‘‘for a job to be done right the first time, do it right every time’’.
‘‘All products and workmanship come with a full guarantee and comply with all New Zealand safety standards,’’ he says.
With a specialist auto glass team onsite, windscreen repairs and replacements can be quickly carried out with a minimum of fuss.
Many customers remark on just how fast the service is compared to other places, Barry says.
He notes that a well-fitted, chip-free windscreen is an important aspect of passenger safety, as a windshield installed incorrectly could pop out in an accident, allowing the roof to cave in and crush occupants.
‘‘Also, when front airbags deploy, they exert a tremendous force on the windshield and can blow it out if it isn’t firmly glued in place. The windshield is a layer of protection that keeps you inside the car and things out of the car. This is not the place to cut corners,’’ he says.
Getting repairs done through a locally owned business like North Canterbury Glass is also an important way to support the community. And because the team at North Canterbury Glass are all locals highly skilled in glass repairs, people can expect a straightforward answer as to when a job will be completed.
‘‘You won’t be sitting around waiting and wondering,’’ Barry says.
A large percentage of auto glass work performed by the company comes via referrals from other satisfied customers. This is a point of pride for the company, Barry says, as it reflects a history of high performance and great customer service.
Insurance work is regularly handled by the team, with the company being an approved supplier for many large insurance firms.
For fast and high-quality repairs, people are advised to let their insurer know they would like to use their local specialists at North Canterbury Glass & Auto Glass.
