According to Arizona State Law (ARS 20-469), you have the right to choose any glass repair company you wish to use for your vehicle’s repair needs. You do not have to use the auto glass repair business recommended by your insurance company. At Novus Glass, we are a preferred insurance provider for most, if not all, insurance companies. We have many years of experience working with all insurance providers, so we know the ins and outs of billing them directly for any service that we provide to you. Do your research, read the reviews, and get the quality and service you deserve. After all, you are paying the premiums each month, so get the service you deserve.
Not all auto insurance plans do, however if you have comprehensive insurance – such as required for leased cars or cars that you are paying off a loan on – then you most likely do have glass coverage included in that plan. Arizona law also mandates that comprehensive plans include coverage for glass claims. If you are just paying liability insurance on your vehicle, then it is likely you do not have coverage through your auto insurance company, but it is possible – and generally inexpensive – to have it added to your policy if you wish.
When choosing Novus Glass you can expect only the highest quality products to be installed by Novus certified technicians. We promise to do everything we can to treat you and your vehicle with the care you deserve. You can have peace of mind in knowing that when you use Novus Glass that you are being taken care of by the best auto glass professionals in Arizona.
The good news is NO, it will not! Arizona state law (ARS 20-263) states that a “no fault claim” for windshield replacement will not raise your rates. This covers accidents which only damage your vehicle glass; such as gravel hitting your windshield, vandalism, or even if one of Arizona’s fierce monsoon storms dumps hail on your windshield and causes the damage that way. As long as there is no additional damage to your vehicle, Glass Replacement or Repair does not count as a claim.
