MyWindscreen
myWindscreen is an online platform that enables users to request free, no obligation quotes for automotive glass services from local independent auto glaziers within the United Kingdom.[1]
myWindscreen does not itself provide the services, but rather acts as a portal to connect motorists in need of windscreen repairs with registered auto glaziers in their area, just as Expedia does for the travel industry and Just-Eat does for takeaways.[2]
Overview
myWindscreen was founded in 2014 by tech entrepreneur Al Lijee. The business is privately funded, and operates a similar brand - myWindshield - in the United States.
The parent company of myWindscreen is Interactive Network Ltd. It is formally registered in the UK with Companies House as a private limited company and listed on the data protection register through the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).[3]
The purpose of myWindscreen is to help people to find local, reputable, skilled auto glaziers within the United Kingdom.
myWindscreen’s business strategy is to improve lead generation and boost the visibility of local businesses online, in exchange for a nominal fee. Users pay nothing to request quotes.[4]
