Alderfer Glass believes it is important for consumers to be educated on the differences in windshield installation methods and have the tools available to make an informed and smart decision. Not all auto glass products or service providers are the same! Many providers will prey on consumer misinformation and use shortcuts to justify a bargain price.
Consumers have the right to choose their auto glass provider in every instance - either through personal payment or through their insurance claim. Before you pick your auto glass provider, be sure that you know the facts!
Be Skeptical If:
- A company has no physical address or prefers only mobile auto glass installations.
- A company does your windshield replacement in an hour or less - "This is not an oil change"
- A company is willing to do a mobile install outdoors in rain or inclement weather.
- A company does not mention temperature restrictions in winter months.
- A company cannot tell you what the "safe drive away time" is for their urethane systems.
- A company installs used auto glass parts commonly.
