The general rule of thumb is the size of a quarter or smaller. Though techniques are available to repair a break as large as a dollar bill, we believe the area of distortion compromises the view and safety of the driver. If the break is larger or in the driver’s line of vision, most insurance companies recommend replacing the entire windshield.
Simply put, cash flow. After a windshield is installed with a cash customer we receive payment. Insurance companies set payment terms and predetermined pricing guidelines. Cash pricing could possibly be higher in some cases because of volume discounts insurance companies receive. Other companies quote low prices because they use after-market products and inexperienced labor. Be sure you know what you are getting.
We use original equipment manufacturer products only. OEM follows the manufacturer’s guidelines for safety, fit and finish. Non-OEM products have been known to have inconsistencies and tend to follow only the minimal government safety standards. You always should use OEM glass.
No. If installed properly, in some instances replacement glass actually can be better. In fact, we have improved on many factory installations.
