Check with Yvan lacroix in quebec. Personally I will be following Yvans template of dissuading customers from useing insurance.People up here are leary of ins' co's because of feared premium increases although I hear that ins' pays better if you don't mind waiting for your money.Oh and you can call Yvan for info as I have found him to be a very friendly guy who seems to be fairly knowledgeable about the bizz.I am useing him as a mentor to set up some of my policies and repair procedures.

Alberta has no comprehensive ins. because stone chips are very common so no glass coverage and i heard the going rate for repairs is around $10. I see an Albertain car and it usually has anywhere from 2to maybe 8 chips on it.

That sounds like a very low price to do a repair $10 Canadian. What's that $6 dollars American? How hard is it to run a successful business there? If you did 20 repairs a day that is not allot of money.

$10???? Sheesh! No, that's definitely not the "going rate" for retail work in Calgary.

I'm from Quebec, $10 does seem awfuly low for a repair, I charge $50 for commercial customers, $75 for private and insurance claims. As for insurance claims i deal directly with the customers insurance company without any problems.
