Auto Glass Replacement During COVID-19
by Clifford Patterson
Certain businesses and trades have been deemed essential during the COVID-19 pandemic, and auto glass replacement services are among that group in most areas. To safely operate a motor vehicle, you need to have a properly working windshield at all times. Here are a few ways your auto glass replacement services might look different during the current worldwide pandemic.
Greeting
While most professionals greet you with a handshake, do not be offended if this does not happen with the current state of the world. Your auto glass replacement worker will greet you with a smile, but not a handshake. With your health and their own in mind, as little contact as possible is the best way to continue operating in a time where germ spread is dangerous.
No-Contact Repairs
Since contact is at a minimum for every other aspect of your auto glass replacement services, the actual repair should be no different. If you are able to leave the keys on the dash of your vehicle, the technician can get to work as soon as they arrive and have your vehicle in proper working condition quickly. If you are around your technician while he/she is working, be sure to practice proper social distancing and keep a 6' distance from them at all times. If you are going to be in close proximity for whatever reason, be sure to wear a mask at all times and wash your hands as soon as your auto glass replacement services are complete.
Online Payment
To avoid contact when dealing with the paperwork side of your auto glass replacement, your technician will likely email you a copy of any claims, insurance information or balances that are due. At this point in the transaction, the responsibility will be on you to make your payment in a timely manner. Some services require payment prior to the replacement, so be sure to ask how payment is being handled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Auto glass replacement services are always needed, and it is no different during a worldwide pandemic. Protection of clients and employees is at the top of everyone's list right now for how to navigate through these days of COVID-19. Do your part, and let the technician do their part to get your vehicle in tip-top condition as they strive to get you back on the road safely in no time.

About Me
When my windshield was broken due to a falling rock at work, I knew that I had to get it replaced immediately. I didn't want to risk getting a ticket on my way home, so I called a mobile repair service to find out what I could do. When they sent someone out right away, I was surprised. I couldn't believe they could do the work right there in the parking lot. I had to understand how all of it worked, and then I wanted to bring that knowledge to others. The next time your windshield breaks, I hope that the information here helps you to see that you don't need to drop your car off for repairs — there are companies that can come directly to you!
