Sorry to anyone that tried to call or text me this week. Unbeknownst to me, I had an issue with my SIMS card. All's well now.

Many insurance companies use Safelite Solutions to administer auto glass replacement claims. When you call in a claim, or initiate it on line, they use wording to steer you to use Safelite Auto Glass. This has been disconcerting for all of us independent shops for years. My shop has been an affiliate of the network for decades. I am able to receive claims, and electronically bill invoices. All you have to do is request my shop. The referral will be sent to me, including pricing discounts that I have agreed to.

It's so nice when I can work out of the Texas elements.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Ran across these cards I received when we left Michigan last year. Young Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC had a going away party for me. They were the best group of people I have ever worked with. So many people that it took three cards.

I didn't completely retire. I relocated my business to Texas, and enjoying working in a much warmer climate. I probably wont stay working long enough to form a relationship like I had, but every customer that I have had here, has been very friendly.

When getting quotes for your windshield replacement, cheaper is not always better. If your vehicle is designed with a forward facing camera, in most cases, it needs to be removed from the windshield, and remounted on the replacement glass. Now it's in a slightly different position, and looking through a new lens. The camera is going to respond to emergency situations as if it was still in the original configuration. It's possible that it might not brake quickly enough to avoid an accident, or think you are too close to the lines on the road, and steer you into traffic, or towards the shoulder of the road.

If your vehicle has such safety systems, I will not replace it without having the ability to recalibrate the camera to recognize, and react properly. Insurance companies will cover the cost for recalibration because they don't want to be liable for possible injury, or damages caused by an improper windshield installation. My quotes will also include pricing for calibration, if needed, for the same reason.

Gotta find a right door glass for this 67 Ford F100. Any recommendations?

When he got home, he told her he didn't know how it broke. It just shattered driving down the road. 🤣

Had to R&I a steering wheel to make a key for a 1973 Olds Omega. It was on a farm, out in the boondocks. This is the temp reading when I got back in the van. Of course, I'm completely drenched with sweat.
