If I put in a claim for my broken auto glass, won't my
rates go up?
In order to minimize your out of pocket expense, we like to analyze each
glass loss both ways - cash and insurance. We'll make sure you get the
lowest cost. Sometimes deductibles can be discounted heavily.
It is best to look at all your options before spending your hard-earned
money.
Why does my insurance company want me to use Safelite
Auto Glass?
Many insurance companies use a free order taking and billing service to
handle their glass only claims. Two examples of such services are the
Safelite Glass Network and Lynx Services. These services are owned by
large glass manufacturing companies that do the claim filing in exchange
for being routed all the calls.
If you don't have a glass shop in mind, they will set you up with a
glass shop of their own. This is why they provide these services for
free - to get thousands of jobs. Often times it is unclear whether you
are talking to your own insurance company or a representative from one
of these glass companies.
You, the customer, have the right by law to choose any auto glass shop
you feel comfortable doing business with. You can not be told or coerced
by your insurance company to use a specific shop to their liking. This
practice is called steering and is against the law.
