And we love making improvements and advancements to what we deliver to our customers.<\/p>\n<p>We are committed to the O\u2019Brien\u00ae Repair First policy as it not only saves customers time and money but has far less of an environmental impact than a full windscreen replacement.<\/p>\n<p>But we have exciting news for our customers across Southern Sydney!<\/p>\n<p>Our O\u2019Brien\u00ae AutoGlass Rosebery service centre is now the proud owner of an Electric Vehicle (EV) designed specifically to service chip repairs.<\/p>\n<p>This EV Hyundai Kona has been purpose-fitted with our chip repair equipment and is out on the road across Sydney\u2019s South visiting customers needing mobile chip repairs. It\u2019s all part of our company-wide goal at O\u2019Brien\u00ae to promote chip repairs as the better environmental option and make them even more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why the focus on using an EV for our chip repair service?<\/h2>\n<p>Repairing a windscreen chip is already a faster, cheaper and greener option when compared to a full windscreen replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Chip repairs <strong>cut carbon emissions by about 80%<\/strong> compared to a full windscreen replacement, saving 66kg of CO2 per repair. <em>(<strong>Source:<\/strong> Estimate tool has been verified by Bureau Veritas to be conformant with ISO 14067. Data from 5 Belron countries including Australia.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, at O\u2019Brien\u00ae, we always recommend getting any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/articles\/repairing-vs-replacing-your-windscreen-which-is-the-better-option\/\">windscreen chip checked and where possible repaired<\/a> first. A windscreen weighs about kgs and requires a lot of resources to produce and transport. Chip repairs, on the other hand, only require a tiny vial of resin to seal and reinforce damaged windscreen glass.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>From the chip repair technician<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our O\u2019Brien \u00ae AutoGlass Technician, Jake, services chip repairs in the Rosebery catchment in the EV Kona vehicle and loves the new wheels.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe new EV car truly is amazing. It\u2019s not what I expected, especially coming from driving the larger O\u2019Brien van every day. The technology inside is fantastic. Most importantly, I don\u2019t have to worry about filling up daily.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Convenience and chip repairs to your door<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With this dedicated windscreen chip repair vehicle on the road in Sydney, it means that the Rosebery team can service more customers needing chip repairs across the day while customers can avoid having to bring their cars into the service centre.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s about delivering convenience to our customers, who don\u2019t even need to leave their work or home to tick off getting their chip repair done.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great service.\u201d\u00a0<\/em> Jake said.<\/p>\n<p>Our standard mobile service covers windscreen replacements, side and rear windows as well as chip repairs.\u00a0 With a chip repair taking about 30 minutes to complete, with Jake doing only chip repair jobs, and no other glass replacements, it\u2019s quicker to complete his bookings, all the while delivering the O\u2019Brien quality service that\u2019s convenient to customers.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"image-container landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/431718584_7364530513611236_3304251252710539184_n.jpg\" alt=\"ev\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/431718584_7364530513611236_3304251252710539184_n.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/431718584_7364530513611236_3304251252710539184_n-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/431718584_7364530513611236_3304251252710539184_n-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/431718584_7364530513611236_3304251252710539184_n-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.obrien.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/431718584_7364530513611236_3304251252710539184_n-1536x1052.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>From Service Centre Manager, John Paton<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cNot only is the EV eye-catching on the road and creating a stir with customers when the techs arrive at the customer\u2019s home, but it\u2019s great for our centre to be the first to use this new vehicle. \u00a0I love that as a company, we not only follow our Repair First policy, but we are always looking for better ways of doing things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The future is looking even better with O\u2019Brien\u00ae<\/h2>\n<p>Like the look of the new EV chip repair car?\u00a0 Well, you might get to see one (or one like it) on the road in your local area one day, as there are plans for O\u2019Brien\u00ae to assess other vehicle types like hybrids, as we update our fleet and look for more sustainable options and services to our customers.<\/p>\n<p>The Rosebery team are excited that we are able to promote our Repair First Policy in this way to their customers.
