Windshield Repair Forum

Hi folks

Just been wondering how all these repair and replacement guys are becoming "approved" or billing them direct?
Thanks

Hi,

To be honest, I'm not sure if many are insurance "approved", as for direct billing, in most cases you will need to use the intermediaries.
PM me and I'll go through it for you.
In reality, you can probably on invoice 45-50 insurance companies.
In my personal experience, direct billing isn't the issue, getting the insurance work in the first place will be a bigger challenge!

I am a bit grumpy when it comes to responding to this question, mainly because it is the first things people ask before where can I get quality training.

The reason I ask is it maybe just the area I'm in but trying to find customers willing to pay for a quality repair and pay out of there own pockets is harder then ever and only want it free (and poor repair more often then not)

Thanks

What area are you in? Maybe you need to have a closer look at the uninsured market.

South Yorkshire, this was a general question not "I'm wanting to become approved"

I think you'll find it very difficult to get into the insurnace market.
As Screenman said, non-insured fleets etc is probably the best way forward.
And, although we know nothiong of your background, it will be worth your while discussing what training you've had/what equipment you use etc, the quality of of your work is one of the main things that could set you apart from the 'run of the mill' repair techs!

Thechip doctor I would much appreciate you sending some info on direct billing etc if you would

Thanks
