aut Opac Doest want the Public to know it will pay full Cost of repairing minor Windshield Stone chips even though it would Cost the Public insurance corporation less Money in the Long run if this practice were made claims Lloyd head of a Winnipeg Windshield repair aside from raising the Public insurance corporations Auto acs approach provides Benefit to the Windshield installers while at the same time penalizing he said in an he added that while Auto acs own figures show that 27 per cent of its Windshield damage claims could be corrected through repair rather than aut Opac largely opts for the higher Cost this 27 per cent repair figure was confirmed by a Windshield installer and a representative of the automotive trades association Manitoba Beaudry said the insurance corporations reluctance to publicize the fact that Low Cost Auto Pac approved repair methods Are now available for free stems from a fear that this would spark a flood of minor if windshields Are repaired the need for eventual aut Opac financed replacement could be he this was because motorists who have a Stone Chip often ignore it rather than pay deductible toward Auto acs Cost of replacing the Windshield but in Many cases the damage will Only Worsen to the Point where the Motorist has no Choice but to pay the and have his Windshield replaced through he on the other if the person was aware the insurance corporation will waive the deductible on a repair he would have brought his car into a claims Centre at a stage where the break could be repaired permanently at a Cost of perhaps to aut Opac rather than the or so the corporation would have to pay if the break deteriorated to the replacement he the corporation handles roughly Auto Glass damage claims a year in the overwhelming percentage of windows Are replaced rather aut Opac which recently issued a directive preventing Auto Windshield installers from giving motorists a break by waiving the deductible has no qualms about waiving deductibles it claims says he sees no inconsistency in allowing the waiving of deductibles for Windshield repair but not for the Public insurance corporation says repair deductibles Are waived be cause these jobs Cost Only to As compared to to for wind shield the deductible is waived for repair jobs because aut Opac want motorists to opt for this solution instead of the More expensive wind shield replacement thereby saving the corporation a Windshield repair shop operator alleges that aut Opac claims adjusters dont inform the Motorist that he can have repair done for with the corporation picking up the full aut Opac will also not allow repair shops which use new Auto Acap proved methods to advertise that their services Are effectively the repair shop operator he adds that because Manitoban dont know about the aut Opac they tend to ignore Windshield Stone chips rather than pay to have the entire Windshield re placed through this presents a problem in that Stone if can eventually Worsen into major due to Stess and temperature and require Windshield the reluctance to inform motorists of the new repair method ends up benefiting the Windshield installation companies at the expense of aut Opac and the repair shop operator flu topic protecting on the move than windows Are predominantly replaced instead of being repaired despite the fact that permanent repair of windshields is now available in Manitoba through a process that has received aut Opac Beaudry Beaudry said his shop and 22 others in Manitoba using the same repair system May have repaired 400 vehicles for aut Opac since the insurance corporation approved the method in a spokesman for a second Winnipeg Glass repair operation said aut Opac referred roughly 100 cars with damaged windshields to the firm Over the 25 of these cases were not the spokesman added that cars sent in by Auto dealers had minor and easily repairable damage while those from aut Opac tended to be More Seri in aut Opac adopted a policy whereby it would not require the Motorist to pay deductible for a Glass repair which costs or Beaudry the Agency would not allow Glass repair shops to advertise this he the repair shop spokesman said the firm didst fight this advertising ban for fear of alienating a major source of any opposition against the ban raised the possibility aut Opac might lift its repair contract with the the spokesman aut Opac claims said the corporation Doest allow anyone to advertise what aut Opac will or will not pay on and the corporation Doest do this kind of advertising we dont advertise that Well pay for Small Stone Chip we dont advertise any of our that invites i dont think anybody should use our name for business he the Public apparently is misled by Auto body shops which carry Auto acs logo in their Advertis this use of logo does not imply that by allowing its name to be is saying that the company involved does Good he because the use of name Doest indicate any aut Opac approval of a body shops Quality standards or the company int really trading on the corporations name for business Jordan aside from the objection to use of Auto acs the corporation also Doest want Auto Glass installers to waive Auto acs deductible on wind shield replacement jobs in order to lure custom continued on Page groups link with Federal More than 450 jobs Here by Jack Francis the
