Since 1994, My Car Glass has stood as London's premier windscreen specialist, evolving from a small family operation to the capital's most trusted name in automotive glass care. Through economic fluctuations, technological revolutions, and changing vehicle designs, our commitment to excellence has remained unwavering. This is the story of how we've spent 30 years perfecting the art and science of windscreen repair across London's diverse boroughs.
The Evolution of a London Institution
When Michael Carter opened our first workshop in Harrow with just two technicians and a passion for quality, few could have predicted the journey ahead. Three decades later, that modest operation has blossomed into London's most respected windscreen specialist, with over 35 mobile units serving every corner of the capital.
"I remember our first week in business," recalls Michael, founder and Chairman. "We completed seven repairs in five days, and I personally thanked each customer. Today, we handle hundreds of repairs weekly, but that same gratitude and attention to detail remains in every interaction."
Our growth parallels London's own transformation, with each new borough we've expanded to representing another community served by our distinctive approach to windscreen care:

This expansion wasn't merely geographical – it represented an evolution in expertise, capabilities, and service quality that has defined My Car Glass throughout its history.
The Hallmarks of Premium Service
What distinguishes premium windscreen service from standard offerings? At My Car Glass, it's a fusion of technical excellence, customer experience, and unwavering reliability that we've refined over three decades.
Unmatched Technical Expertise
Our technicians undergo a rigorous training program that exceeds industry standards by over 120 hours, covering everything from glass composition analysis to advanced calibration techniques. This investment in expertise ensures that even the most complex repairs are handled with precision.
"The difference is in the details," explains Samira Jordan, our Technical Director and a 22-year veteran of the company. "A standard technician might see a simple chip, but our specialists assess micro-fracture patterns, glass stress points, and environmental factors that influence repair longevity."
This expertise becomes particularly evident in our approach to:
Luxury vehicle windscreens: Our specialists are factory-trained on Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Bentley specifications
Advanced driver assistance systems: We maintain manufacturer-level calibration equipment for all major brands
Vintage and collector vehicles: Our heritage division specializes in sourcing and fitting glass for classic cars
The Premium Customer Experience
Premium service extends beyond technical capabilities to encompass every customer interaction. Our service model has been methodically developed to eliminate the frustrations typically associated with vehicle repairs:
Transparent scheduling: 95% of our appointments arrive within a 15-minute window of the scheduled time
Location flexibility: Service provided at home, workplace, or any convenient London location
Digital documentation: Instant electronic receipts, warranty information, and insurance claim processing
Continuous communication: Real-time technician tracking and status updates via our mobile app
This customer-centric approach has earned us an average satisfaction score of 4.9/5 based on over 15,000 verified reviews.
