What if there was a special program that you could join that would pay to replace or fix your damaged windshield. This is not insurance. It is much better and costs lots less.

Have you ever had a brand new windshield installed in your car and a couple of days or a short time later catches a rock and has damaged your windshield again? It's frustrating isn't it? It's like flushing a few hundred dollars down the toilet. With the current state of the economy there isn't a lot of money to be flushing.

What if you could use a great local auto glass company, get great service and a quality installation but be covered for windshield damage nationwide. You get two free windshields replaced in your car at no extra cost and unlimited rock chip repair. There are no claim forms, deductibles or paperwork to mess with and you get to use any qualified independent windshield replacement company.

Most insurance companies who offer glass coverage charge around ten dollars a month. However the cost for an extended glass service agreement is only $59 a year. That's it and you're covered. But you also should understand that there are two situations that wouldn't be covered. One is weather related damages like hail and wind or vandalism.

The beauty of the extended service agreement is that you are covered for road debris which is the cause of 90% of windshield damage anyway.

This isn't some sales gimmick. In fact this has been available since 1999 through Road Guardian which was recently acquired by National Glass Exchange in Trinidad Colorado. Road Guardian had written thousands of these glass contracts around the country and has a great reputation with customers and windshield replacement shops.

So how can they possibly make money by charging only 17 cents a day? Only one in four automobiles has a broken windshield at any given time. If everybody in the country had this glass contract and all needed windshields at the same time, then yes the National Glass Exchange would be broke and out of business. However, the program works and has many satisfied customers throughout the country.

It is certainly worth weighing the pros and cons for your situation, to see if the program that could pay for the next two windshields with unlimited rock chip repair is the best thing for you.

While windshield pricing and costs continue to climb, for the uninformed consumer you have a great opportunity to possible never having to pay for another windshield again on all of your vehicles. You get a great local auto glass company and your covered nationwide. Look up the National Glass Exchange on the web to get the details.

You can also use one of the local independently owned auto glass businesses.
