Windshield Repair Forum

Most of my business is paid by cash not insurance money although I do accept it when I can. I was just griping about the 50.00 deductible b/c I haven't seen that yet. If everyone started having 50.00 deductibles it would be hard to talk people into repairs. People with 100 or up are pretty willing to go ahead and get the repair rather than replace it. The question was answered pretty early that 50.00 deductibles is not all that common. I was just making sure b/c they said they had a pretty good rate. The part of my post about sign on my truck was just useless comment I threw in there, it wasn't meant to start a whole debate.

I do not think I am so concerned what a clients deductible is...it is what it is...if he has lets say two chips,
and his ins is only willing to pay $50 because that is his deductible, then I think that I would be ok with that...

however, I am concerned what i keep hearing about major ins carriers such as Allstate/Statefarm jumping
ship from lynx, going to safelite, i guess great for those that use safelite as their ins processor, but not so
good for those that may use lynx (which I maybe one of them) Why would a ins carrier want to leave one
to go to another? Why cant ins carriers go with all major ins processors? would it not benefit the carrier
to make their service available to all ins processors? It surely would not look good on me if I use lynx
then I have to explain to my client/customer that I am unable to accept their major ins carrier (state farm) or other...

Actually with the up and down economy, It's myself and a part-time helper. I try to take on enough work to keep myself busy, no need to make a $million over night

As for the direction this thread has gone, we're all suppose to be adults here, and there's absolutely no need for the posters to get offended or feel insulted or vise versa by others, please don't lose sight of what we're all here for, INFORMATION and the ability to share stories and business knowledge with each other.

So, I would like to apologize for doing my part in taking this thread in a different direction by posting a picture of my work van, this was not the thread to do it, my apologize to the originator.

I hope everyone enjoys the remainder of their 3 day weekend.

I'm not offended. I just overreacted earlier. All is good. I thought picture of your van was a really good one. You're right, we should all act like adults, including me. haha
