At RK Auto Glass, we understand that windscreen damage can happen unexpectedly, whether it’s due to a flying rock or severe weather. The good news is that if you have comprehensive car insurance, windscreen repairs or replacements are often covered, saving you significant out-of-pocket expenses. In this guide, we’ll explain how insurance claims for windscreen repairs work and how RK Auto Glass can assist you through the process.
1. Check Your Insurance Policy
First, it’s essential to check whether your car insurance policy includes windscreen repair or replacement coverage. Most comprehensive insurance policies in India cover windscreen damage as part of the overall vehicle protection. However, it’s important to confirm details such as:
- Whether windscreen repairs and replacements are fully covered.
- If there’s an excess (deductible) amount that you must pay.
- Any claim limits specific to glass damage.
2. Report the Damage Promptly
If you notice a crack or chip in your windscreen, it’s crucial to report the damage to your insurance provider as soon as possible. Prompt reporting can prevent the crack from spreading and affecting the structural integrity of the car, which might require a full replacement instead of a repair.
3. Contact RK Auto Glass for Assessment
At RK Auto Glass, we offer quick and reliable windscreen assessment services. Bring your vehicle to us or request a mobile inspection, and our technicians will evaluate whether the damage can be repaired or if a replacement is necessary. Small chips or cracks are often repairable, but larger or deeper damage may require a new windscreen.
4. Filing Your Insurance Claim
Once the assessment is complete, we can help you initiate the insurance claim process. Here’s what typically happens:
- Submit a Claim: Contact your insurer and provide them with the necessary details, including the extent of the damage and your vehicle’s information.
- Insurer Approval: Your insurer may require an inspection or ask for a report from us, confirming the damage and the cost of repair or replacement.
- RK Auto Glass Direct Billing: We work with most major insurance providers and offer direct billing services. This means we’ll handle the paperwork and settle the bill with your insurer directly, minimizing the hassle for you.
5. Repair or Replacement
Once your insurer approves the claim, we’ll proceed with the repair or replacement of the windscreen. At RK Auto Glass, we use high-quality materials and industry-standard procedures to ensure your vehicle’s windscreen is as good as new. Most repairs are completed quickly, often in less than an hour, while replacements may take a little longer depending on the make and model of your car.
6. Excess Payment (if applicable)
If your insurance policy includes an excess amount, you may be required to pay that before the insurer covers the rest. We will inform you of any payments due, and you can settle them directly with us.
7. Enjoy Peace of Mind
Once your windscreen is repaired or replaced, you can drive away knowing your car is safe, and the process was handled smoothly with minimal disruption. We provide warranties on all repairs and replacements, ensuring you’re covered for future issues.
