How to Pick the Best Auto Glass Company

Our cars are our main mode of transportation. It’s the member of the family that gets us to work, our kids to school, and even takes us on some fun road trips through the country. When our cars are injured, we feel it badly. One way a car can be put out of commission quickly and unexpectedly is with windshield damage. 

When this happens, you want to hire the best auto glass company available for the job of repairing or replacing. But how do you know who the best is? There are ways to know, which we are going to cover in this blog. Once you finish reading, you’ll feel more confident that you’ll pick the best auto glass service for your car. 

Experience

Experience is one of the best teachers in many industries, including auto glass. When searching for an auto glass service, find out how long they’ve been in business. If they’re established, you know their technicians have experience repairing and replacing auto glass, including windshields. And, odds are, they have experience working on your specific make and model. 

Reputation

A great way to find out how well an auto glass company is at their job is to check out their reviews. They’ll likely have reviews on their website but also check out Yelp and Google reviews. Nothing gives you better insight into a business or product than the opinions of former customers. You can also ask your friends and family for their opinions. Word-of-mouth references are one of the most reliable.

Certification

The windshield plays a huge role in your safety and your passengers. 45% of the structural integrity of your car’s cabin in a collision. This is why the Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC) was formed. The best auto glass services are certified with the AGSC, so you want to check that any companies you are considering have that certification. 

Insurance

Your windshield or other auto glass damage might be covered by your insurance policy. If so, you’ll have to work with an auto glass service that is in their network. A reputable auto glass service will not only be in the network of all insurance companies, but they’ll also work directly with your insurance company to speed up the claims process.

Warranty

A reputable auto glass company will be happy to put a warranty on their work and materials. If you come across an auto glass service that doesn’t offer a warranty on replacements, keep looking. Things happen and you want to work with a business that is confident enough in their ability to do the job right, they give a warranty. 

Cost

You don’t want to go with the least expensive guy and skip vital things like warranties and certifications. While you might save a few dollars now, it could cost you a lot more in the long run. We’re not saying you should pick the most expensive place either. Just be sure you’re getting good service first. 

ADAS Calibration

Go with an auto glass service that offers ADAS calibration after windshield replacements. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is the general term for the sensors and technology that make up your safety features. When your windshield is replaced, you need that technology calibrated so it continues to work. You want an auto glass service that does this as well. Click here to learn more about ADAS technology.
