Smith&Smith Oamaru is a vehicle glass shop, so the work is windscreen chip repair and full glass replacement rather than washing. It sits on State Highway 1 at 226 Thames Street, just past the BP service station and McDonald's heading north. The brand says it is the country's leading vehicle glass repairer and a preferred supplier to most major insurers, and that the team will handle the insurance paperwork so a claim is simple.
Booking is online or by phone on 0800 48 33 88. Online, you send photos first: the safety stamp on the windscreen, the area behind the rear-view mirror from outside, and the dashboard to the right of the steering wheel, which shows whether the glass is heated. For a chip, add a photo with a $2 coin placed beside it. The brand says glass installations carry a lifetime guarantee, that it recycles more glass than any other repairer, and that its mobile technicians can come to you.
The closest, Oamaru Exhaust and Radiator, is 0.3 km away.
Smith&Smith has been part of New Zealand motoring since 1875 and is now part of the Belron group, which runs across more than 35 countries.
