Auto Glass FAQ'S
How do windshield "cash back" rebates work?
It's easy! After your windshield replacement you recieve the cash back. To read more, visit our rebate and promotion page for more details!
Are auto glass rebates and cash-back deals legal?
Yes. Under Arizona law, it is completely legal for an auto glass company to give customers a cash-back rebate or promotional incentive. Because insurance payout rates for qualifying replacements are set by industry standards, lean-operating glass shops can choose to return a portion of their profit margin directly to the customer.
What does "Full Glass Coverage" actually cover?
If your comprehensive insurance policy includes a full glass waiver (often referred to as $0-deductible glass coverage), it covers the replacement or repair of all auto glass on your vehicle. This includes your front windshield, side door windows, quarter glass, and rear windshield at zero out-of-pocket cost to you. We’ll help you verify your insurance policy details and file your claim quickly to get your vehicle back on the road safely.
What do I need to qualify for a rebate?
Under Arizona Auto Glass Law & Legal Cash-Back Guidelines, qualifying for up to a $300 cash-back rebate is simple: you just need comprehensive insurance with glass coverage, and we take care of the rest. We’ll help you file your glass claim directly with your insurer, and once approved, your exact rebate amount is calculated based on your vehicle's specific windshield payout rate. Because insurance payout rates vary depending on your vehicle's make, model, and required safety features, many vehicles qualify for maximum cash back.
