I repaired a windshield for a safeway customer this afternoon. I was not sure if they would pay for repairs but after calling the number on the back of her card I was informed that they pay for ws repair in MS . I was under the impression that they did not pay . IT wasn't much but luck would have it the lady had three chips. would any one like to comment .

Greetings Reggie,

If the Insurance Co., is paying, $50.00 + $15.00 + $15.00 is fair (IMO)

Most of the glass Shops in my area are charging 25.00 a repair and one 20.00 if you bring it in. Novus charges 45.00 . cash . Some of these guys need their head x rayed
for cracks . I don't no about you guys but a gallon of milk is pushing$ 4.00 around here

$35.00 for a mobile insurance repair? That's insane! Are you sure their name isn't Cheapway? No thank you, I'd pass;)

Sounds like you have the same situation as we do here in the Pac NW. The glass installers are doing the "repairs" without charging nothing. They do shoddy work and when the shield cracks out who does the replacement?!! I've been making inroads to change this but it's an up hill battle. We are here to stay and they'll figure that out in time!!!!!!!!! In the mean time hang in there buddy!! We are, and we're not going away!!!!!!!
Stick to your guns and charge a fair price for GOOD work (that is what we do) and time will work it out. GL Scott
