Montana-House Bill #291 Revise insurance law on auto glass repair & body repair to use average prevailing market price (check out section 3 of this proposed bill)
This is the link to the most recent status on this Bill. Every independent auto glass repair and replacement company should be aware of this proposed legislation. This is very important for the auto glass industry.

A little about me:
I have worked in the auto glass industry all of my adult life. I started as a warehouse worker at the Safelite distribution center in Wichita, KS when I was 18 years old. Since then I have held positions in Sales, Management, and finally owning my own glass company.
I have been through all the ups and downs of the glass industry from profits being phenomenal to barely getting by month to month. I have lived through the small business owner going from making a descent profit to the big name companies controlling the market. I have watched as pricing for the auto glass repair and replacement insurance market plummet for independent auto glass shops due to third party administers (TPA) owned by our retail competitors.
I created www.Local-Auto-Glass-Quotes.com for many reasons, but the #1 reason is to assist independent glass companies to increase their market share from coast to coast across The United States.
I feel that now, all the independent glass companies must work together to take back our share of the market. I am very passionate about this and I truly believe this web site will do that if we all band together.

Priorities??
I am posting a link to an article I recently stumbled upon. The article doesn't have anything to do with auto glass repair, but it sure made me think about what is important in my life and what should be top priority.
