What you know about windshield repair and replacement is a lie! You may think that calling your insurance agency and getting referred to a company is the proper way to replace your windshield, but it’s not. You have the right to choose your own windshield repair company, and you should!
Windshield Insurance Claims: The Truth
What Happens When You Call Your Insurance
Insurance companies have third party administrators. These third party companies (that you will be referred to) will take your call and send your insurance company a bill at the end of the month.
Their goal is to keep claim costs as low as possible to please the insurance company they are contracted with.
Unfortunately, this can mean they may cut corners when it comes to standards and quality. You can call your insurance/the third party administrators and tell them who you would like to repair your glass. They have to accept it because you have a right to choose your own company.
The Right Auto Glass Installers Matter
Your windshield is responsible for keeping you inside you car and with airbag deployment. If the adhesive is installed poorly, your windshield will fail. Take a rollover for example. A properly installed windshield will stay intact, while a bad windshield won’t.
That is why it is so important to find a properly trained auto glass technician. These technicians have knowledge in all types of auto glass replacement, vehicle occupant safety, adhesive systems, custom-cut laminated glass parts, and safety procedures.
