Hiring services for Mobile Glass Replacement
are not always the safe route. That might be what the insurance company
wants you to do, but they might have no idea of the problems that can
occur with mobile service. It is often assumed that Mobile Glass
Replacement conforms to OEM & all Federal Safety Standards, but such
is not the case. Chances are that if your car insurance agent had ever
attended any safety or installation class, he would change his mind
altogether about recommending to you mobile repair service.
Most insurance agents have no idea whatsoever of the procedures of Mobile Glass Replacement,
so to the insured, it seems convenient and ideal. Consumers purchasing
cars from the automotive dealers take for granted that the car conforms
to all safety standards, encompassing the glass. Mobile installations
don’t provide that assurance.
Modern vehicles employ various safety features which can be disabled and
rendered of no use through the improper removal of windshields, back
glass, and side glass. Side curtains, Airbags, and other features might
be deployed by static electricity. The computer system might be
triggered and might disable those safety features via improper
disconnect procedures. If this occurs, the customer will have to pay the
dealer to reset the computer system. This is not covered by insurance!
The question of ‘proper installer certification’ is a concern. When it
comes to mobile glass replacement, most mobile installers aren’t
properly certified and in various cases are actually subcontractors
employed by glass companies; or are independent glass installers who are
not licensed or certified.
When most mobile glass replacement services go to a job, the only thing
they really care about is making a fast buck, by using cheap materials
and rushing to the next job as soon as possible. Therefore, be careful
in your selection of a mobile service to execute any work on your car.
