Chips spread fast in UAE heat — the temperature differential between a hot windscreen and cold AC is what turns a chip into a crack overnight. 3 workshops in RAK Industrial Area list auto glass.
Typical turnaround: 30 minutes for a repair, half a day for replacement. Typically needed as needed.
| Car type | Typical example | Estimated AED |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese / Korean saloon | Corolla, Sunny, Elantra, Civic | 350 - 900 |
| Large SUV / 4x4 | Land Cruiser, Patrol, Prado, Pajero | 500 - 1,500 |
| German / European | BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW | 800 - 3,000 |
| Luxury / performance | Range Rover, Porsche, Lexus LX | 1,200 - 6,000 |
Cars with a camera behind the mirror need recalibration after a windscreen change. That is a separate line and it is not optional.
Low rates, but fewer specialist options — complex German and luxury work often travels to Dubai or Sharjah.
