Windshield Repair Forum

how many jobs do lynx,NGA,agrss and other insurance companies send you?

None. Safelite has taken over all the insurance work in my area. I was doing about 6-8 a week, several years ago, which worked out great with my fleets and dealers. When the economy tanked, Safelite got in the repair business and all of the little independents, like myself, became 2nd and 3rd tier suppliers.

If you live in a rural area you might recieve a couple a year if a metro area dont count on any

Here's another question for the Veterans....how do you get on their "preferred" vendor list so that you don't get thrown under the bus every time they talk to your customers on the phone when you're getting approval for the job??? I found that if I do the repair before I call and get the approval, they sometimes skip the trash talking because the job is already done and there is no way they can steal it from me...HAHAHA

I am a preferred vendor and you have to jump through many hoops and fill out a lot of paper work.I really don't see much difference in the dialoge on the phone with customer as before.I don't get any jobs from them unless they are out in the middle of no where and I just decline.

60-70 a month. was maybe plus 10 when lynx had allstate

Around 80 a month.

between the 3 Top TPA's I get maybe 10 -15 per month. I've gome as long as 2 months and got zero during 2011 & 2010: Thats why I consider this gravey money. I dont rely on TPA's for my business. Often times the calls are 20 miles plus from my office. I dont know the reason, but I've gotten more calls during 2012.
