Auto Glass
It amazes me of how many people are coming out of the wood work, now that Belron bought Diamond... People I have not talked to in years are calling me looking for work. We are fortunate to have work, but not enough to add more people. I guess we are all fortunate to have a job. I know we stopped taking checks about 4 months ago and have really enforced it the last 2 very strongly. Checks are just a pain in the neck, and with all the places we deal with it just makes it impossible to track down everyone who writes a bad check. Oh well thats my rant for today.

Auto Glass Repair
With the winter coming, you think about things around your house that could be a potential problem. What you might know is that your Windshield could be a real problem if it has chip or crack that has not been repaired. Says Larry Diesbach Jr a member of FixMyWindshield.com
Even if you have even a small chip in your windshield, should get it fixed as soon as possible to avoid some big problems when the ice and snow hits this winter.
A small chip could land your wallet empty this season with out a simple repair to the chip. Auto Glass Repair technicians do it ever day, and can come right to where you work and fix your chips. However sometimes the damage does not disappear it is however a structural fix, says Diesbach
Most Insurance companies will cover the cost of a windshield repair if you have comprehensive insurance, with the exception of a few. This leave you with money in you pocket and a windshield that will be structurally sound.

Larry Diesbach also mentions that replacing your windshield before the extreme cold hits is always a good decision as a crack in your windshield can cause severe damage to wiper blades.

You're driving along and a rock hits your windshield. Sometimes you are very lucky and it is a glancing blow with no long term evidence of the encounter. Sometimes the event results in a chip, star or bulls eye, and other times the impact results in a major event that requires the replacement of your windshield.
One fact cannot be denied, any damage that is seen will never get better on its own. Like a famous actor said, "Well, do you feel lucky?" If you have an experience that is repairable, it is best that the repair occur as soon as possible. The question is not if but rather when will the impact point run and become un-repairable? Sure it might be a day or a week or a month or even longer but why tempt fate. Even though repairs are not necessarily free, they should cost you much less than your normal windshield deductible
Just get the repair done. The clock is ticking or "do you feel lucky?" Eventually luck runs out. Contact your windshield repair professional today!

Who waives deductibles these days??
I went online to search for a company to put a windshield I had purchased in for a relative, and after I got to the site, and got the contact information I looked up, and to my suprise here is a HUGE banned "$75 off your insurance Deductible" Who in their right mind these days is waiving deductibles??? Has the Industry lost its mind? I can not immagine how anyone could remain profitable and waive a deductible.
This is the kind of shop that has driven this Industry to networks. The networks that these people complain about is exactly what helped drive the creation of them. Out of control billing has driven this industry right into the ground and I am asshamed to be a part of any orginization that's leader would promote waiving deductibles.

How to ruin an industry
Just the other day I was in one of my customers cars, and I noticed multiple copied CD’s on the sun visor. This got me to thinking of my youth, when if you wanted to make a copy of a song from your friend it was really a pain, and often not cheap. With CD burners in almost every new computer that comes out on the market, and the price of writeable CD's for pennies they have made it so easy for anyone to make multiple copies of a CD in minutes.
The same holds true for the Auto Glass business, I remember when PPG, Pilk, etc would not sell to you until you established a account with them , and then they determined your buying rate based on your credit and your volume. These days anyone with a Yugo with a glass rack strapped to the roof , buying one part a week can almost buy as competitively as I do. And I buy a fair amount of parts, most likely more in one week than the people buying at the same rate do in a month.
The wholesale glass industry has created this problem for themselves by allowing purchasing power to not dictate price. Sales people are so desperate to make sales that they do not care if your able to pay your bill, that is provided it does not cut into their commission.
A serious correction to the US Glass price erosion starts at the distribution level. Just like a writeable CD for a penny is where the problem starts with the recording industry. We have allowed people with little to no knowledge to buy a product that should be price controlled on a distributor level like it was years ago. If CD's were $10 like they use to be, not many people would be burning CD's. Same as if the distributors had not let dog and pony show, buy at the level of major players. Price should as it use to be determined by volume.
