You need to first inform your insurance company about the loss. Many insurance companies will cover the windshield repair in your car, so you may want to contact your insurance company in Flagstaff Arizona and report the loss.
When reporting the loss, give as much detail about the loss as possible. You need to tell the date and time which the glass was broken, the extent of the break, how the glass got broken (vandalism, accident, and road hazard), who was in the car when the glass got broken, and any other information that the insurance will request.
Once you have reported the broken glass to your insurance company, be ready to get estimates on the auto glass replacement. Your insurance company may share with you a list of approved windshield repair shops. You should take this list and get estimates from all of the companies on the list.
Once you have the estimates, you should let your insurance company know which auto glass replacement company you want to choose. If it’s an approved company on the insurance’s list of approved service centers, you may get the deductible waived. However, if your insurance company will not waive the deductible, you will be responsible for paying the cost of the service.
This is normally paid right to the auto glass replacement service center. Either you or the insurance company will have to contact the auto glass replacement service center and make an appointment to repair your vehicle. You can either bring your vehicle to their location or most shops today have mobile service trucks to come to you.
