Benefits of the Windshield Repair Business

Windshield repair is an excellent alternative to windshield replacement.  While helping   customers save money, windshield repair technicians also provide a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible service.  Read on to learn more about the benefits of running a windshield repair business.

Windshield Repair vs. Windshield Replacement
Windshield replacement requires the removal of a windshield, while windshield auto glass repair does not.  Windshield repair involves injecting a resin into the damaged glass, then curing that resin to create a strong bond, keeping the glass from cracking out. When properly executed, the windshield repair process will restore the structural integrity of the glass while improving the cosmetic appearance.

Bill Insurance Companies Directly
Nearly all insurance companies waive the customer's deductible and pay for the full price of a windshield repair. If the deductible is waived, the insurance company can be billed directly, so there is no cost to the customer. This makes selling the service to the consumer very easy.

The Cost Effective Alternative
Although most windshield repairs can be performed with no out of pocket expense to the customer, a windshield repair costs only a fraction of the cost of a replacement.  In the event the insurance company will not waive the deductible, the total cost of the repair is almost always less than the customer's deductible for a replacement.

Windshield Repair is the Safe Alternative
Windshield repair doesn't require the removal of your damaged windshield, so the original factory seal remains intact. Maintaining the factory seal is generally much safer because you're preserving the integrity of the factory installation.  

It's a Quick Process
In many cases a windshield repair can be completed in 30 minutes or less.  However, depending on the complexity of the damage, moisture in the damage, or multiple breaks, the process may take a bit longer.

Windshield Repair is Environmentally Responsible
The waste generated from a typical windshield repair weighs less than 1 ounce and fits in the palm of your hand, making it an environmentally friendly service.  By contrast, a typical windshield replacement generates more than 25 pounds of waste.  That's 400 times more waste compared to a windshield repair.

Business Opportunity
The cost for a windshield repair business can be less than $1,500 and professional quality workmanship can be obtained with very little training. The profit margin for windshield repair is substantial and the demand for this service is extremely high. Windshield repair is a very attractive business opportunity for enterprising individuals of all ages.
