Enviromental Impact
Does any one have stat's on the enviromental impact of windshield replacement. Also stat's on what the insurance companies spend on a yearly basis for glass claims(repair vs repalcement) and how much they spend on liability claims due to improperly installed glass?
Merci

Re: Enviromental Impact
When someone calls me for windshield repair, its because they want to save their windshield, and in the process save money. I have been doing windshield repair since 1996, and have yet to meet a client that really gives a fig about whats in the windshield graveyards, or what the insurance companies spend on anything. All my clients want is for me to repair their windshields and for their insurance to pay for it, so they can get on with their lives.

For the enviroment question Canadians have traditionaly been more concerned with the enviroment than Americans, so for us it's important. As for the insurance question it's usefull when approaching an insurance broker or company to know your figures. Thanks Last edited by Delta Kits : 02-20-2005 at 02:44 PM.

Re: Enviromental Impact
Us folks here in the Northwest ARE enviormentally friendly for the most part. I feel the enviormental approach is an issue that some customers will respond to, but only as an addition to the other issues that sell repair(IE.cost, mfg seal etc...) Just my 2 cents worth. Scott

Re: Enviromental Impact
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm regarding the US not signing the Kyota accord?
In my opinion, other signatory countries want us to " bite the bullet" regarding the greenhouse gases. While we have been most successful in our industrial development, the reductions in mind and proposed by others want us to take the biggest hit, suffer through high unemployment and yet be overly generous in aid to all of them. We ain't gonna do that---I hope. Sorry---had to vent a tad. Layne

Re: Enviromental Impact
The point of my post i believe has been lost. Teh point wasto provide us all with statistics to better inform and educate our customers, not to start a debate on who is more enviromentally friendly,or patriotic, I,m sorry that my english is not perfect, could it be the way I formulate my sentences? Anways soory for any angst that I may have caused.
Merci

Re: Enviromental Impact
Repare-Brise Your post was very well put and I am in full agreement to your idea of promoting the environmental aspects of repair. I have done a good internet search for the statistics that you are looking for and have been unable to find any. My business is windshield repair and paintless dent repair. On my website, and on the lettering of my truck I use the tag line...
" Easing natures impact Saving Americas environment" www.paintlessplus.com Your english is very good and you did not cause any anger here. Please keep posting, I enjoy your ideas. You are an asset to this forum. Bob
