Twin Falls
As a responsible driver, you know the importance of maintaining your vehicle’s safety systems – and none are more critical than the windshield. Even a small chip can quickly spread into a large crack, compromising the structural integrity of the glass and putting you at risk.
Unfortunately, windshield damage is all too common. Flying debris kicked up by other vehicles, hailstorms, vandalism – there are countless ways your windshield can suffer a chip or crack when you least expect it. And when it happens, you’re faced with the daunting task of getting it repaired quickly and properly, often by navigating the complex world of automotive insurance.
Filing an Insurance Claim for Windshield Damage
If your windshield has been damaged, your first instinct may be to contact your insurance provider to file a claim. Depending on your coverage, windshield repair or replacement may be included with your comprehensive policy.
However, many vehicle owners don’t realize that some insurance providers will strongly recommend – or even require – that you use their “preferred” repair shops, dealerships, or national chains to complete the work. One of the most commonly recommended is Safelite, the largest auto glass specialist in the U.S.
While the choice may seem simple, it’s important to remember that you have the right to decide who repairs your vehicle – preferred by your insurance company or not. In fact, opting for a local, independent shop like us here at Window Welder can provide some significant advantages.
