Is oem glass better than aftermarket?
OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer are products that are made to
exact specifications as the original parts from the manufacturer. This
ensures that the equipment will work as well as the original did. If
aftermarket products are used they still will work, infact the aftermarket
manufactures make the glass for the oem market.
Will my insurance company original oem glass?
Yes and no. some insurance agencies are covering Original Equipment
Manufacturer glass. OEM glass is usually only covered by the insurance
company if the vehicle is 5 years old or newer.

please dont worry, a repair can cost as little as $39.95, any additional
repairs are $10 each.
What is my deductible?
The cost of your deductible varies when it comes to a replacement,
and will depend on the type of coverage you have. there is a wide
range of policies, and we will need to verify what deductible amount is
on your policy.
Will my insurance premium go up?
On average you are allowed 3 claims every two years and the impact
on your premiums depends largely on your claim history and how your
insurance company handles its claims.
Why fix my chip and what to expect after completion?
While the chip may disappear by 75-90% there is also a chance that
it may not change in appearance. This can be caused by multiple
factors including moisture or dirt that has contaminated the chip.
The sooner you get it repaired the better the clarity and overall
success of the repair. The chip will be smooth to the touch and
sealed so nothing can get in or out of the chip.
