North Vancouver drivers know the feeling. You are cruising along the Upper Levels Highway or heading down Lonsdale when a tiny stone taps your windshield. Sometimes it is nothing more than a speck. Other times you look over and notice a small star break or chip beginning to form.
At Kirmac Collision and Autoglass, our North Vancouver team is here to make those moments a little easier. Whether you need a quick windshield chip repair or full auto glass replacement, we offer friendly guidance, fast service and support through your ICBC claim. Our goal is to help you get back on the road with a clear view and confidence in the quality of your repair.
The North Shore brings its own brand of driving conditions. Gravel from construction zones, winter sanding trucks near Mount Seymour, steep grades and busy bridges all contribute to the chips and cracks we see in our shop.
That is why our technicians focus on practical, professional care that fits real BC driving. When you visit our North Vancouver location, you can expect:
Free chip repair for qualifying damage through comprehensive insurance coverage
Friendly, certified technicians who assess your auto glass carefully
Convenient appointment times to fit your schedule
A clean, welcoming shop with a local team who understands the area
Chip repairs are a quick way to help extend the life of your windshield. For deeper or spreading cracks, our windshield replacement service ensures proper fit and safety, including any required calibration for modern vehicles.
Many drivers are unsure whether a chip can be repaired or if a windshield replacement is the better option. Our technicians will guide you by looking at the size, location and condition of the damage, along with the design of your vehicle’s glass.
Chip repairs are designed to help reduce the appearance of the damage and reinforce the glass so you can keep driving with confidence. While results vary from vehicle to vehicle, our team performs this service with care and attention to detail.
There are times when replacing the windshield is the safest choice. This may be due to the size or placement of the damage or because the vehicle relies on advanced safety systems that require a clean, stable surface. When replacement is recommended, we handle the full process from start to finish, including ICBC claim support.
If your auto glass damage is eligible for a claim, our team helps you through the process with ICBC. It is a simple, supportive experience designed to get you back on the road as soon as possible. You can get started on our website here:
Filing a glass claim can feel intimidating, especially when you are trying to sort out the difference between repair and replacement. At our North Vancouver shop, we walk you through the steps and answer your questions in plain language. Once your claim is approved, we complete the repair or replacement, confirm everything is properly installed and return your vehicle in clean condition.
Our goal is to keep the entire experience practical and stress free.
Catching a chip early is one of the simplest ways to help protect your windshield from further damage. Many small chips can be repaired, and taking care of them quickly can help you avoid future inconvenience.
There is another reason many North Vancouver drivers choose Kirmac for chip repair. 100% of the revenue from windshield chip repairs is donated to BC Children’s Hospital through Kirmac Cares for Kids. It is a program that reflects our belief in supporting the communities we live and work in.
Our North Vancouver team is proud to offer a neighbourly experience from the moment you walk in. We keep communication clear, explain what to expect and aim to complete your service efficiently. Chip repairs are often completed in a short visit, while full replacements typically require a bit more time so the installation and curing process can be completed correctly.
North Vancouver has seen a large increase in electric and hybrid vehicles. Many EVs rely on advanced driver assistance systems that are integrated into the windshield area. Our technicians understand the unique needs of EV glass service and follow manufacturer specific requirements so that your vehicle’s systems remain accurate and dependable.
When auto glass damage happens, you deserve a repair experience that feels supportive and straightforward. Whether you are dealing with a small chip or need a complete windshield replacement, our North Vancouver team is ready to help with friendly service and reliable workmanship.
If you are noticing a chip or crack, now is a great time to book an appointment and get your view of the road back to clear.
