A family firm
Over 30 years’ experience in vehicle glass, built on repeat customers and word of mouth - not call centres.
About us
About Motorway Windscreens
A family firm founded in 1992 - big enough to cover Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Humberside, small enough to care about every job.
What sets us apart

Insurance approved
We deal with the UK’s top insurers and handle the paperwork for you, from first call to finished claim.

Mobile fitting at your home, work or the roadside, with same-day service where possible - or book in at one of our two workshops.

A dedicated correct-part sourcing system, Esprit resin repairs and adhesives that have you safely back on the road in under an hour.
Our story
Family-run since 1992
Motorway Windscreens was founded in 1992 as A1 Windscreens and has been repairing and replacing vehicle glass ever since. We are still a family firm, and the business has grown the old-fashioned way - repeat customers, trade accounts that stay with us for years, and word of mouth across Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Humberside.
Alongside our mobile units we run two workshops, in Scunthorpe and Rotherham. Book a stone chip in and we will repair it in around 30 minutes.
