Understanding Auto Glass Insurance Coverage

Most comprehensive auto insurance policies in British Columbia cover windshield repairs and replacements. This means if your vehicle suffers damage from rocks, debris, or weather, you can often get the glass repaired or replaced with little to no out-of-pocket expense.

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Covers non-collision damage like rock chips, vandalism, or falling objects.
  • No-Fault Repairs: Many insurers cover chip repairs without affecting your premiums.
  • Replacement Options: Full windshield replacements are typically covered, minus any deductible.

At Mayne Auto Glass, we work with all major insurance providers to ensure your claim is handled efficiently and correctly the first time.

Step-by-Step: How to File an Insurance Claim

Here’s a simple breakdown of how to file your claim with ease:

  1. Assess the Damage: Identify whether it’s a chip, crack, or shattered glass. Avoid washing the windshield or applying pressure until it’s inspected.
  2. Contact Mayne Auto Glass: Call or book online. We’ll review the damage and determine if a repair or full replacement is needed.
  3. Provide Your Insurance Info: Share your insurance company and policy number. We’ll take care of the claim details.
  4. Claim Submission: Our team directly contacts your insurer to confirm coverage and get pre-approval for the work.
  5. Schedule the Service: Choose in-shop or mobile service — we’ll come to you anywhere in Cranbrook or the Kootenay area.
  6. Relax While We Handle the Rest: From claim paperwork to glass installation, everything is managed start to finish.

This streamlined process means less stress, faster service, and no paperwork headaches for you.
