Many car owners believe that replacing their windscreen is the only solution to breaks and cracks. In addition to being both cost- and time-inefficient overall, we face a number of other serious problems:
Compromised Quality
Replacing your windscreen entails breaking the original factory protective seal and removing any expensive aftermarket tint or shield, compromising both safety and quality.
Huge amounts of waste
More than 1 million windscreen are replaced annually in Malaysia. The replaced glass is left for dumping and this leads to environmental pollution.
Fraudulent insurance claims
Frauds can be committed by workshops by inflating damages and insisting on replacement of glass that is undamaged or reparable.
Expensive Coverage
Insurance companies charge a 15% premium to cover the high costs of replacement. As a result, 70% of car owners do not have coverage on their windscreens.
The windscreen repair service industry which has existed for more than 14 years is still not viewed as the first choice for cracks, because the auto glass companies are more interested in replacing rather than repairing windscreens due to higher profit margins. Many auto glass replacement services tend to not focus on repair and do not offer mobile services despite demand from customers. Although some windscreen repairs are performed by independent repairer for auto glass outlets and auto workshops, they often do not have capacity to handle a customers demand and good service of show up on time which often slow to confirm appointment.

The history of windscreen repair is filled with entrepreneurs and individuals who overcame great many hurdles to become successful.
Without the great efforts of founder, Raymond Tan, pioneering as training provider, the industry would not have prospered and grown. While a few equipment kits were sold to small group of individuals, not many repairs were being done. He decided to concentrate on working with “repair only” specialists.
It is at GLASS MECHANIC where Mr. Yeoh and Raymond Tan did a good job of introducing the concept of windscreen repair to insurance companies and were responsible for much of the early pioneering work with insurance companies to convince them of the benefit of repairing windscreens.
As BUMI AUTO GLASS, founded by Puan Noorzaleha and Raymond Tan, the pioneer and only windscreen repair training provider in Malaysia began to train and spread, a number of other companies began operations.
Many of these companies later trained entrepreneurs without mentioning the name of their mentor to promote brand, forming other companies and their own associations. Without the efforts of all these people, windscreen repair would not be where it is today to partner with auto glass outlet and auto workshops.
