FAQs

Third-party "networks" or "brokers" handle auto glass claims on behalf of insurers. All vehicle glass networks recognize Insta Glass, and all work for insurance claims is accepted. However, because other national car glass firms control some networks, it is frequently required for the insured to select Insta Glass as their preferred shop, or you will be directed elsewhere. This is known as insurance steering, and it is illegal. If you choose Insta Glass expressly, you must use us as your supplier.

If an Insta Glass representative is unavailable, you can contact your insurance carrier. In the case of your coverage, your insurer will assist you through the claim process. To file a claim, call +1 206 773 6868 and talk with a billing network representative. You must specify Insta Glass Inc as your preferred shop if you want Insta Glass Inc to provide your vehicle glass services. If you don't, you'll be sent to network-owned stores, which may be out of state.

In addition to Wi-Fi, Insta Glass Inc has waiting areas for easy in-store appointments in each of its four locations. Restaurants and leisure activities are all within easy walking distance of the bulk stores. At each of the four locations, mobile service is also available.

You are not compelled to pay us first and then collect from your insurer when submitting an insurance claim. If the proper procedures are followed, Insta Glass can bill directly for services rendered. However, you will be responsible for paying the deductible to Insta Glass CO. at the time of installation if one applies. If you have any insurance questions, call us at +1 206 773 6868. We also provide windshield repairs and replacements for cash. All the major credit cards are accepted here, including VISA, MasterCard, and Discover.

Your insurance rates should not increase because of your vehicle glass claim. Only your insurer or insurance agent, however, can tell you if your rates will be raised or lowered, as well as provide details on your specific policy.

Even though most insurers waive the comprehensive deductible for windshield replacement, some have begun to enforce a "cash only" policy that requires the client to pay for the repairs. Call Insta Glass at +1 206 773 6868 to learn more about your windshield repair options. Individual fixes are also available for a cost.

Insta Glass Inc uses only the best quality OEM and OE parts available on the market today whenever possible. Not all replacement glass is the same. Professionals from Insta Glass employ both replacement parts and factory-installed original equipment (OEM) parts from businesses like PPG and Pilkington. SIKA adhesives are top-of-the-line adhesives with industry-leading installation capabilities and quick drive-away times. Our technicians are also SIKA factory trained and have a lot of expertise in their field, with some of them having worked for SIKA for more than 30 years.

OEM glass comes directly from the car's manufacturer and is an exact match for the original glass. Insta Glass CO. has access to OEM parts from all major manufacturers and can install them to your exact specifications. In addition, replacements are frequently made with OE-equivalent parts from companies like PPG and Pilkington. OE-equivalent components are made with the same quality control and tooling as original windshields, resulting in better shape and color consistency. These businesses manufacture windshields for domestic and foreign automakers, and in some circumstances, they also construct the vehicle's original windshield.

Visual clarity and optical distortion are reduced when compared to aftermarket-only parts. Some of our national competitors manufacture and sell glass at a discount, but these parts will never be used in a new vehicle. Although OE equivalent components are slightly more expensive, they have a considerably more excellent success record with warranty claims and customer satisfaction. Many companies make aftermarket car glass, but only a few are OE-equivalent; insist on appropriate materials for a successful replacement in your vehicle.

Yes, It's worth mentioning that a vehicle's glass components must be safe. For example, in a front-end collision, the windshield can provide up to 45 percent of the structural integrity of the vehicle's cabin and up to 60 percent in a rollover. Therefore, it's vital to use suitable materials to ensure adequate adhesion and good fit. Windshields also enable optimal passenger airbag activation and decrease roof collapse in a rollover collision.

The "Full-Cut" installation technique refers to how a professional removes your old windshield and urethane system. This procedure entails removing all glass and urethane (windshield glue) down to the bare metal of the car body, then applying a new primer before installing the new glass - this is how your windshield was installed at the factory. Without the primer, any defects left on your vehicle's body would rust away, hidden from view until it was too late.

Compared to our competitors' "Close-Cut" procedure, which includes merely removing the windshield and adding urethane directly to the existing urethane, this is a significant improvement. This may save time, but it is also riskier, as rust and leaks can result. In addition, it may compromise the safety of your vehicle if done incorrectly. Therefore, Insta Glass CO. technicians are instructed to employ just a "Full-Cut" approach to remove any urethane adhering portions on a vehicle.

PPG Prostars accreditation means that our shops have access to industry-specific training and resources to ensure proper installation and high-quality parts. Insta Glass is a national leader in car glass installation techniques and procedures, reaching far beyond the local community.
