Auto Glass Insurance in Colorado

Glass damage is usually a comprehensive claim

Rock strikes, hail, vandalism and break-in damage generally fall under comprehensive coverage, not collision. If you carry liability only, glass is typically out of pocket.

Your deductible decides whether a claim makes sense. If replacement costs roughly what your deductible is, filing rarely helps.

Repairs are often treated differently

Many insurers waive the deductible for a chip repair because it is much cheaper than replacing the glass later. That is worth a phone call before you decide to wait on a small chip.

You generally choose the shop

Insurers often suggest a network provider, but Colorado drivers usually retain the right to select who performs the work. Ask about warranty, adhesive, glass source and recalibration capability before you decide.

Documenting the claim

• Photos of the damage and the vehicle
• Date, time and location the damage occurred
• Police report number for vandalism or theft
• The provider's written estimate
• Records of any recalibration performed
