If you have taken your car to an auto glass shop for windshield repair at least twice, your chances of having encountered a repair guarantee are pretty high. Of course, there may be exceptions to this: for instance, you might just have been unfortunate enough to have only ever encountered shops that do not provide guarantees for their work. The first thing you should know about repair guarantees is that they are typically a sign of good business. Auto glass repair technicians and windshield replacement specialists always give this guarantee when they are confident in their work, signifying that they have the expertise and skill that you want in a good repair worker.
When you got a windshield repair shop and they tell you they have a repair guarantee, you should ask for the full details of that guarantee. For most cases, the guarantee provided shall be this: 100% satisfaction or else the cost of the repair is refunded to the party paying the invoice. To illustrate how this works, let us take an example.
Let us say Fred goes to a repair shop and has a technician take a look at the nasty crack a rock made on his windshield. The technician tells him it is reparable, and outlines the repair guarantee of the shop besides explaining what Joe has to expect from the repair. This is important because it is quite common for car owners to mistakenly expect a perfect-looking windshield after a repair has been performed on their car: this is very rarely the case, and some form of scarring shall remain over the area where the crack was originally located. The true aim of a windshield repair, after all, is not just to stave off further expansion of the crack but also to restore most of the glass’s integrity, as it is a key structural component of a vehicle. Thus, Fred is reminded that he cannot expect a perfectly fresh-looking windshield after the repair, even if the leftover scarring shall be minimal.
Now Fred agrees to the terms and lets the technician repair the crack. When the technician is done, he shall then bring Fred over to the vehicle so that Fred may inspect the repair. If Fred finds the repair acceptable—meaning the scarring is indeed minimal and would not obstruct driving or the driver’s vision—Fred may take his car and pay the cost of work. If, however, Fred does not like the result, he may then invoke the 100% guarantee. If he or his insurance company has already paid for the windshield repair, the amount shall be refunded to whoever made the payment. If the repair has not been paid for yet, it shall then go unpaid according to the terms of the guarantee.
