AVOID THE HIDDEN FEES IN AUTO GLASS QUOTES
WHAT ARE THE 'HIDDEN FEES'? There are three 'additional fees' that may be applied to your final bill if you are not careful: Here are the 3 Hidden Fees: 1. The Recycle or Disposal Fee: The largest auto glass company in the nation charges a recycle fee for 'disposing' of your broken windshield when in fact they recycle them, and sell them again. 2. Windshield Molding Fee: Some small auto glass shops will charge you this fee for new molding to seal the glass to prevent leaking OR they won't charge you for it and they REuse your old one - that is NOT good, that is how leaking begins. 3. The Recalibration Fee: Most vehicles that are 2014 or newer have rain sensors, lane departure, overhead displays or other special safety features that require recalibration when a new windshield is installed. Sometimes this fee is added to the cost of the glass at final billing. Not all Glass Companies do this, however, the LARGEST one in the nation does this to EVERY customer. Don't let it happen to you. Be sure to ask the 3 Important Questions during an Auto Glass Quote. (See Below)
WHAT ARE THE 3 QUESTIONS TO ASK? Here are the 3 Questions you should ask: 1. What do you charge to Recycle or Dispose of my broken windshield? 2. Does this price include NEW molding around my windshield? 3. Does this price include the cost of Recalibrating my new windshield? **Most vehicles that are newer than 2014 have rain sensors, lane departure, overhead dashboards and other special features. These ALL require being Recalibrated. The minimum cost for that service is $350. Be sure to ASK these questions every time you get a quote, and BEFORE you book service.
WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFO: 1. Always use your VIN number to get a quote. The VIN tells them if there are special sensors in your windshield that need recalibration, so no 'mistakes' or surprises happen at check out. 2. Make a note of what each company said they will charge for your windshield replacement and compare the costs of each provider. 3. Check the most recent reviews from the provider you are considering. Was it a good experience for others? 4. Now you have all of the information you need to choose a provider, and know what you are truly going to be charged. 5. Don't let the Auto Glass Claims Processor send you to Safelite. You have the right to choose any independant provider of your choice. ** DID YOU KNOW?** The Auto Glass Claims Line that you call is owned and operated by a division of Safelite - that call center automatically sends the callers to Safelite Technicians. Be sure to specify who YOU want to use, not who they want to send you to. Congratulations! Now you know how to avoid price gouging in Auto Glass quotes.
