What This Means For You and Your Windshield Repair Business

This case could help the auto glass industry but that is if this court or any court will ever uphold the laws against insurance companies. If a court did then it could help prevent insurers from controlling and stealing the profits from any industry that provides services that are covered by insurance, such as ours.

We have created a handy Inforgraphic you can share with your customers that sums up how a customers insurance company dupes them into paying $350 for a $20 windshield. We hope you like it and will help us continue to educate consumers while we wait for a court to protect us and consumers from insurance industry abuse of power.
