🚨 Florida Drivers: Did You Know You Have the Right to Choose Your Auto Glass Shop? 🚨
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is, “My insurance company told me where to go.”
The truth is, YOU have the legal right to choose the auto glass shop that repairs or replaces your windshield. If you call your insurance company first and don’t specify a shop, many times you’ll automatically be directed to a large national chain. They won’t necessarily tell you about the trusted local businesses in your community.
Here’s what we recommend:
✅ Choose your shop first.
✅ Check Google reviews.
✅ Make sure they’re properly licensed and insured.
✅ Ask if they’re in-network with your insurance company.
✅ Look for shops that are certified by the Auto Glass Safety Council.
At Windshields Direct, we’re proud to be one of the few Auto Glass Safety Council Certified shops in Central Florida, and we work with ALL insurance companies. Your insurance company will stand behind our work just like they would any national chain.
When you call your insurance company, simply tell them you want to use Windshields Direct and provide our phone number: 352-415-9463. They’ll connect us directly to your claim.
Support local. Support small business. Whether it’s us or another reputable mom-and-pop shop in your area, do your research and make the choice that’s best for YOU—not the one made for you.
