Not in Florida
So does that mean all fleet vehicles have glass cover?
Are we talking about retail or fleet? I don't remember the OP specifying.

He did not it seems, I was responding to your bit about free replacement. Personally I seldom touch retail as it is too expensive to service.

Same here!! I just assumed he was going the retail route, most start-ups do.

I'm sorry, was there a question directed to me ? I must have missed it.
I will go for whatever I can get. I have a friend who is an ins. adjuster, and another who said he can help me get into several dealerships.
I will also actively try to sell my services to fleet accounts as well.

Fleets, I will do a minimum of 3 jobs per visit, up to as many as 10+ garages the same but maybe fewer on the top end. Where as retail, you drive across town for 1 job the needs a windshield , which is why I say retail is expensive to service. Never ever rely on the word of somebody you know to get you into a business, it works so seldom that it is not worth counting.

I agree with Screenman.
Lots of people say they will help, I have the best results helping myself.

I agree, this will be the fourth business startup I've done in the past 25 years and know full well the most reliable help you get is when you help yourself.
Thanks !
