William SmithWe’ve heard the horror stories—windscreen that starts rattling days after installation, or worse, airbags that failed to deploy in a fender bender. The reason? Faulty windshield replacement.
These stories are chilling reminders that a windshield isn’t just glass. In a rollover, it can provide up to 60% of your car’s structural strength. It’s also the shield that supports your life-saving airbags.
Yet many drivers don’t realise how dangerous a poor replacement job can be. It’s not just inconvenient, but potentially life-threatening.
That’s why we at the Auckland Magazine decided to dig deeper. We wanted to find windscreen replacement companies in Auckland that show up fast, do the job right, and treat your safety as seriously as you do.
Here’s what we found.
How much does it cost to get your windshield replaced in Auckland?
It costs at least 300 NZD to get your windshield replaced in Auckland.
This is just an estimate. The total cost varies depending on the vehicle type, type of glass, and more.
1. Great South Glass & Windscreens
Address: 17 East Tamaki Road, Papatoetoe
Contact Details: +64 27 592 2067
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 4 PM
- Saturday – 8 AM to 12 PM

Great South Glass is where you go for fast and high-quality repair work. We love that for most of their jobs, they get it done in less than an hour.
When we talked to their customers, many told us that Great South Glass organised a mobile technician to come out to their worksite the very next morning. It’s this kind of efficiency and convenience that we’re looking for.
What’s even more impressive is that despite how fast they work, they don’t compromise on quality. Many customers told us the glass fit perfectly—no leaks and no rattles. They were able to go back on the road like nothing had happened.
We also like that Great South Glass’s service isn’t just for cars—they handle trucks, heavy machinery, RVs, and 4WDs. They can also do side and rear window replacement for both domestic and imported vehicles.
That said, people told us that if you need a piece of heavy machinery glass, you’ll have to wait a few days for it to be stocked. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s worth knowing if you’re in a rush.

Contact Details: +64 9 273 3581

Booking an appointment with Accurate Auto Glass, and we love how quickly they accommodate you. When we gave them a call, we were pleased to find availability within the very week.
Several people we talked to shared that they were able to secure a next-day appointment without any fuss. This availability is really important for us, considering how important cars are in our day-to-day lives.
Beyond the easy booking, we also appreciate how quickly the job is done. Everything, including drying time, takes about an hour and a half. This means you’re not stuck waiting all day or juggling rides.
We also love that they do mobile service. Many people told us Accurate’s van came out, replaced their glass, and even vacuumed up all the broken bits from the boot—something we really appreciate when you’re already stressed.
We also like that Accurate doesn’t nickel-and-dime you. More than a few customers mentioned they didn’t get charged for little extras. However, we will say that their prices aren’t cheap.
Awesome service from these guys

3. Maverick Auto Glass – Auckland Windscreen Repair
Address: 5E Mihini Road, Henderson
Contact Details: +64 22 043 4018
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 4 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 1 PM
Website: https://www.maverickautoglass.co.nz
Maverick Auto Glass Windscreen Repair is the place for truck owners. They can handle all kinds of trucks—Scania, Mack, and more. They can even do half screens.
While some shops leave you waiting for weeks, customers we talked to said Maverick had theirs ready and replaced within a couple of days. This is true for most cars, except for those rare models or those that need a special half screen.
One of the things we really appreciate is their mobile service. Having to bring a car with a broken windshield to a repair shop can be really inconvenient and dangerous, so we love that Maverick can come straight to the customers.
We also appreciate that the insurance process is super easy here. All you need is your insurance company’s name, your policy number, and the insured’s name. They handle the rest with direct billing, which means no chasing paperwork or waiting for reimbursements.
Better price than any other company
“Hight recommend Maverick Auto Glass. Better price than any other company for my windscreen replacement. Did an excellent job!”
–Jaskaran Kamboj, Google Reviews
They came the very next day and did the job wonderfully

4. A Plus Auto Glass / Mobile Windscreen Repair Replacement Auckland
Contact Details: +64 210 490 615
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Wednesday – 8:30 AM to 5 PM
- Thursday & Friday – 8:30 AM to 4 PM
Website: https://www.apwindscreens.com/
We love that A Plus Auto Glass Windscreen Repair comes to you, almost anywhere across Auckland. When you give them a call, they show up in a fully equipped mobile van and, ready to get the job done on the spot.
Another thing we like is the flexibility with pricing and options. A Plus offers both new and used windscreens, so if you’re on a budget, you’re not stuck paying top dollar.
Customers who needed a quick fix for an older car they were about to sell told us A Plus sourced a good used windscreen and got the job done fast, saving them money.
On the flip side, if you want the best quality glass, they can get that for you too. And even with these kinds of glasses, their prices remain competitive year-round.
The only catch? They’re a smaller, mobile-focused business, so you might have to wait a bit longer (days) for an open slot if they’re booked up.
Fantastic job
“Fantastic job!! Got my windscreen replaced, no hassle and great value. Highly recommend”
–Allan Day, Google Reviews
I had my windscreen replaced, outside my house, within 24 hours
“These guys are amazing. They responded almost immediately and I had my windscreen replaced, outside my house, within 24 hours.
Plus they were cheaper than what my insurance company wanted to charge me for the excess.
Why cant everything be this easy?”

5. Splitz Autoglass
Contact Details: +64 27 315 1811
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday – 7 AM to 5 PM
Website: https://splitzautoglass.co.nz/
We like Splitz Auto Glass in Auckland because they make getting your windscreen replaced simple and affordable, which is exactly what most of us want when we’re dealing with a cracked or smashed window.
Many people told us they appreciated the free quotes—no awkward phone calls where you have to push for a price, just a straightforward answer so you know what you’re in for.
We also really like how Splitz can handle just about any vehicle. Customers who needed a replacement for their van told us Splitz had the right glass in stock and got it installed the next day.
It’s also impressive that they can replace glasses on machinery and equipment. This means even if you drive something a bit unusual, you’re covered.
That said, because Splitz is in high demand for their affordable prices, you might have to wait a few weeks for an appointment.
