We were travelling on the last day of the year to Christchurch when just south of Timaru, a passing truck dropped a rock that smashed my windscreen. The rock was as big as a fist and hit the windscreen top/center and made a huge spiderweb shatter.
There is a sign just south of Timaru about Smith & Smith Glass so we called there. The helpful receptionist asked about the damage and came out to look at it. She was sorry that they did not have a replacement windscreen, but on finding out that we were headed for Christchurch, she suggested we call at the Russley Road branch which is the main distributor fo the South Island.
The service there was immaculate and friendly. Within two hours (one to allow the glue to set) we had our car back with a new windscreen and all the correct labels attached.
So they have my recommendation.
