Fix small damage before weather and use make it worse
A small windscreen chip, loose mirror or stiff handle can grow into a larger failure. Seatbelts and driver visibility are safety items, so condition and location determine urgency.
Many chip, mirror, handle and strut jobs are mobile. Large glass damage, structural corrosion and extensive paintwork need a separate route.
Which visible or body fault is it?
These signs narrow down the sensible first step. They are not a diagnosis: two faults can feel very similar from the driver’s seat.
Small windscreen chip
Repairability depends on size, depth and position, especially relative to the driver’s view and screen edge.

Glass-only, housing, indicator and powered-folding damage need different parts.
Book mirror replacementSeatbelt will not latch or retract
A restraint fault needs prompt repair; do not lubricate or dismantle the mechanism.
Book seatbelt repairPhotograph and protect the damage
Only make checks that your vehicle handbook permits, with the car safely parked, switched off and cool where relevant.
- Photograph glass damage with a coin or ruler for scale without pressing on it.
- Keep a fresh chip clean and dry with clear temporary film; do not apply glue.
- For mirror damage, record whether adjustment, heating, folding and indicator functions still work.

Windscreen Chip Repair
Resin repair of a stone chip before it spreads into a crack. A chip larger than 10mm in the driver's line of sight is an MOT failure, and repairing it early is a fraction of the cost of a new screen.
Wing Mirror Replacement
Replaces a mirror glass, cover or complete mirror unit, including heated and electrically folding types. A missing or broken driver's side mirror is an MOT failure.
Seatbelt Repair Or Replacement
Replaces a seatbelt that will not retract, will not lock or is frayed. Any fault with any belt in the car is an automatic MOT failure and a serious safety issue.
Bonnet Release Cable
Repairs or replaces a snapped bonnet cable and gets the bonnet open safely. Worth booking promptly, because until it is fixed nobody can check your oil, coolant, battery or anything else under there.
Dent Removal (Paintless, Per Panel)
Paintless dent removal that massages the panel back into shape without filling or respraying, done at your address. Suitable for smooth dents where the paint is unbroken, such as car park and trolley damage.
Boot / Tailgate Gas Struts (Pair)
Replaces the gas struts that hold your boot or tailgate up. A five-minute fix for something that is both annoying and genuinely capable of dropping on your head.
Door Handle Repair
Replaces a snapped or seized exterior or interior door handle. Extremely common on older cars, and a nuisance every single time you use the car until it is fixed.
Underbody Rust Inspection & Treatment
Inspection and treatment of surface corrosion on the underside, carried out on a ramp at our garage where we can actually see it. Worth doing before an MOT and before West Yorkshire road salt does its work each winter.
You do not need to diagnose the car yourself
If the symptom is unclear, intermittent or affects more than one system, choose our Find The Fault service. We investigate the cause, explain it in plain English and price the right repair before parts are ordered.
Glass, Mirrors & Body FAQs
Can every windscreen chip be repaired?
No. Size, depth, edge proximity, contamination and location in the driver’s view affect repairability. Cracks and larger damage may need glass replacement.
Do you replace only wing-mirror glass?
The required part depends on whether the glass, backing plate, housing, motor, heater, indicator or folding mechanism is damaged.
Can I spray lubricant into a sticking seatbelt?
No. Chemicals can damage belt webbing or contaminate the retractor. A restraint fault should be inspected and repaired correctly.
Can SSK Mechanics do this at my home or workplace?
Many glass, mirrors & body jobs are mobile. Services needing a vehicle lift, controlled workshop equipment or high-voltage isolation are marked as workshop jobs; where available, SSK arranges collection and return.
What if I choose the wrong service?
If you cannot confidently match the symptom to a job, choose Find The Fault instead. The technician investigates the cause and explains the correct repair before parts are ordered, helping you avoid paying for a guessed part.
