Mobile Glass Replacement: Fastest Might Not be the Best

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.
