Home / Windshield Repair Resins / Get Paid Your Price And Don't Let Your Customer Get Short-paid

Windshield Repair is a fun, profitable and rewarding business.  However windshields are covered by insurance. Auto insurance polices waive the deductible for a windshield repair meaning the consumer does not have to pay the deductible, the deductible for a windshield repair is zero.  However you do not have to involve yourself with the insurance end of it. Not involving yourself will assure you that you will have fun days and enjoy your work.

The most powerful industry in the United States is the Insurance Industry. Any industry where the service or product is covered by insurance the insurance company will use this power to pay businesses as little as possible.

Many repair technicians are not dealing with the deception, steering and unfair pricing that goes along with filing a windshield insurance claim with their customers -so they are having the consumer pay them directly and then the consumer files the claim to be reimbursed by their insurance company which with most insurers can be done online. If not online it can also be done with their insurance agent.

The price of replacements has more than doubled and quadrupled in the last decade due to ADAS and recalibration while the insurer payments for repairs averaging a flat rate for any and all repairs of $65 is less than they were over 18 years ago.

Pre-Loss Condition - is the insurance contractual obligation with the policyholder to restore the windshield to pre-loss condition which by a court ruling is 100% new (windshield) glass strength. Ultra Bond is the only windshield repair system proven to restore 100% strength with chips and cracks.  This is how you get paid more with Ultra Bond.

The rates being charged by Ultra Bond users for one chip repair are in the range of $100 to $165. 

Long cracks used to be reimbursed as 3 chip repairs before the flat rate implemented by Safelite to the Insurers. Long Cracks by Ultra Bond users are going for $150 to $250.
