Windshield company

giving out free full tint with windshield replacement . What are you thoughts on this ?

Not sure if it's legal where you are or not but I don't think I would advertise something that isn't. Maybe offer a discount since its out once their in house possibly.

Free tint on the windshield or entire vehicle?

If full vehicle, you would need to be marking it high, so unless you have dealership pricing on your windshield, I doubt it would be worth it.  If just the windshield, I would assume most people don't want their windshield tinted so not sure how that would work out.

Probably using a 3 year product that's also being plotter cut if it's a full tint.

A company is advertising full car tint for free with a new windshield (insurance) claim .

Thoughts? Scraping bottom of the barrel even with insurance paying and the higher margins. Sounds like someone's slow.....

The wholesale price for popular car or truck windshields is about $80 then labor is added probly another $100

Long time ago insurance would pay $600 or more,,not anymore they wont

I was almost going to learn auto glass,,but I would pay the glass guy to install it and bill the ins co for a nice markup

Being that its free something has to give....most likely cheap film that would be lucky to see next summer. Also, that is pretty desperate.

I'm sure it is probably a cheaper film, on a basic car, and it HAS TO BE an insurance claim, because of the amount they are making off the insurance on the backend.

They are making enough to cover EVERYTHING!!( and then some ) the cost of having the new windshield installed, plus enough to have the car cheaply tinted. They are still coming out great in the end.

It's a different kind of insurance racket (fraud, almost) that the businesses (not the customers) do.
