Windshield Repair FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
Should I contact the car wash or car care
facility if I have a question or a concern?
The Masters Touch is solely responsible for all windshield repairs done at each
car wash listed on our locations page. Masters Touch assumes all liabilities
involved with the repair of the windshield.
Is the repair really Free or No-Cost?
Repairing a windshield is a good value. If you have comprehensive coverage, and
choose to have your windshield repaired rather than replaced, most insurance
companies will waive your deductible, leaving no costs for you.
Will my insurance company waive my deductible? Will my rates
increase?
Windshield repair is normally covered by your comprehensive insurance policy.
Major insurance companies now encourage repair. Cost, safety, convenience and
your satisfaction are among the reasons insurers suggest repair. While only your
insurer can answer this question for you, we have found that most insurers typically
do not adjust an individual policy holder's rates solely because of a comprehensive
glass repair claim. Windshields of today are so costly that insurers now pressure
claim agents to push windshield repair and not replacement. Insurers like saving
money.
Why
fix a chip if it hasn't
ran or cracked yet?
The longer you delay, the possibility of the damage area spreading rises
significantly. Damage can spread from extreme temperature changes (hot/cold)
or stress on your
windshield. The National Glass Association says when repairs that are performed
soon after the damage occurs, almost always look better than repaired older
damage. Rain, dust and road grime will contaminate the damage over time
thus inhibiting
the best cosmetic results and may cause further spreading of damaged areas.
Over time, these un-repaired rock chips can still "crack-out" and
result in the need for a windshield replacement. It is wise to repair them
before this happens.
Should small surface chips and pits be repaired?
National Glass Association states: Even a pin head size surface imperfection
on a windshield has the potential to get worse. In particular, if the windshield
damage has a shadow, or black or silver discoloration around the impact point,
it could "crack
out" if not repaired. Pits and surface chips are the beginning of potential further
damage. Visible damage should be repaired.
Should I contact my agent or insurance company?
We're experts at verifying coverage, filing the claim and handling all the paperwork.
Our affiliate companies Safelite Solutions and LYNX, administer auto glass programs
for more than 100 insurance companies. We'll contact your insurance company and
submit the claim on your behalf. Hassle free. Or if you prefer, you can also
pay the technician directly and file the claim personally.
Why did
a glass installer say it couldn’t
or shouldn’t be repaired?
Many glass companies offering replacement will sometimes install a new windshield
when it isn't necessary for obvious reasons of greater profit. Un-repaired damage
often leads to replacement. Glass installers normally suggest replacement not
repair.
This sounds to good to be true. Is it?
In some areas of the country, chip repair at car care facilities is almost
a given, in others it is not as wide spread. "If
a chip is repairable, it's a win-win situation," said Allstate spokeswoman Shelley Beeler, agreeing about it being a convenience
for the customer, and one that might prevent further damage. “It costs less for Allstate to fix the chips versus paying to replace the entire
windshield”, she said. Allstate believes the car care facilities where this service is offered
through a glass company can help consumers.
Are your technicians trained?
You can be assured that you're getting the best repair possible. Our specialists
complete extensive classroom and hands-on training and use only the highest quality
materials. Our repairs meet or exceed military repair guidelines used on planes,
helicopters and vehicles. Some of our technicians have over 15 years in the business.
Is windshield repair new?
No. Since 1972 windshield repair has saved companies and consumers billions
of dollars over replacement. The Federal Highway Safety Act of 1968 required
all
vehicles sold in the U.S. be equipped with shatter resistant or laminated safety
glass windshields. Researchers immediately recognized the economic and environmental
benefits of creating a method to repair shatter resistant windshields. Repair
would give consumers a cost-saving alternative to windshield replacement while
contributing to the nation's environmental priority of reducing the burden
on America's overflowing landfills. The research of the early 1970s led
to the birth
of the U.S. windshield repair industry. For nearly 40 years, that industry
has provided consumers with an economical, effective and safe alternative
to windshield
replacement. Today, over 4 million damaged windshields are repaired annually.
Private and public fleets along with most automotive casualty insurance
companies were among the earliest advocates of windshield repair and they
remain loyal customers today.
Actual Jax Customer Testimonials
My wife and I stopped at the Jax Kar Wash in Birmingham to have both of our
windshields repaired due to stone chips. I wanted to write and tell
you what an excellent job the man who fixed them did. He got a huge

chip in my wife's windshield. I am very impressed!

I had a chip repaired at the Jax's location in West Bloomfield. The repair was
done quickly and efficiently by my technician. He was very professional.
The repair was what could be expected. Both chips were reduced to a
small point, and I was satisfied with my experience.
- Aaron M.
On February 13, 2009 at approximately 11:30/13:00, a technician brought to my
attention that there were a few chip marks in the my windshield, and
at my request he repaired them.
The technician was professional and helpful with all of my questions.
He was also very quick. The only thing that was disappointing was having
to wait for him to get a hold of Progressive, which was not his fault.
It was Progressive maze of automated questions/responses.
All in all, it went well.
- Dave J.
I had my windshield repaired today and the service person (Brad) was excellent.
He took care of the problem and handled the transaction very professionally.
I would rate him a 10, and would recommend him to anyone else who needed
windshield repairs.
-Patricia B.
I recently had the pleasure to have the windshield of my vehicle, a Saturn Outlook,
repaired by Mr. Rob S. at the Jax Kar Wash in Rochester MI, on the
Rochester road. This was an outstanding experience! I was very satisfied
with the approach Bob took, the very friendliness, professional explanation
of his doing and the actual repair to the windshield. He did give
me the impression right away as being a serious customer oriented and
focused person with deep respect to the customers need, sensitivity
and in the same time understanding to get something accomplished in
a timely manner not taking any extra time. Even so, I did not have
all my paperwork with me where i provided proof from my last visit's
certification, due to the acknowledgement of the garage/car wash supervisor,
Bob agreed to provide his outstanding service within seconds. Since
2 weeks have been gone now, I still enjoy the excellent execution of
this repair, as my wife drives the vehicle daily
our kids (school back and forth etc) where safety is a No. 1 concern
and with the restored visibility thru the windshield we do owe Mr.
Bob S our continuous appreciation and a Big Thank you for an outstanding
service.
-Wolfgang R.
