Miami Auto Glass - Easy To Find

By Alex Angelstein


Living in Miami provides all sorts of options for having auto glass repaired or replaced. The available Miami auto glass options make life easier for many people who can't always take time out from a busy schedule and stay at an auto glass store for hours at a time.

Technology is always changing, and with the new technology available in the auto glass industry, consumers no longer need to wait for hours to have windshields replaced at auto shops that might not even be convenient to get to. Vans and trucks are now totally equipped with everything needed in order to come right to your door and fix your glass. Don't forget to ask your insurance company, however, if you need to do anything special before making some phone calls.

Most of these mobile companies can respond with same day service. However, keep in mind that weather plays a major role in this same day service guarantee. If it's raining out, which happens on a daily basis about six months a year in Miami, it will be impossible to have your glass replaced in your driveway or outdoor office parking lot. You may, in these cases, be forced into taking your car in for the appropriate servicing ' whether you think you have time or not.

The paperwork is typically handled by the replacement company. Again, all the new technology that these vans and trucks have will allow them immediate confirmation of insurance coverage and even in cases where you are paying the cost yourself, they can run credit cards right there.

However, if you have a small chip or crack not all insurance policies will cover some of the newer technologies that involve having a liquid pumped into and around the small chip or crack. Before making definite arrangements for this type of service, check with your insurance company to see if you are covered. Otherwise, this service can sometimes run well over $100 out of pocket.

If you plan on using a mobile service, check them out first. Miami, unfortunately, has a proliferation of people who have vans that advertise mobile glass replacement, yet they don't know what they are doing, they aren't licensed contractors, and they play on people with immediate glass repair needs. One of the biggest parts of their scam is that they ask for a deposit before starting the work.

No matter where you have your repair work done, you will be told to keep your car dry for 24 hours. Of course, in Miami during the rainy season that's impossible. If you find leaks after the work is done, you may have trouble getting your guarantee honored.
