“COVID-19 seems to become more taxing as time continues and more is learned about the virus. Solera recently held a webinar COVID-19 What’s Now and What’s Next, where a panel of the company’s experts addressed how the virus is impacting the industry on a global level.

Due to the lockdown restrictions across most of the U.S., many people aren’t driving as often as they normally would. This is especially true for those who drove for their work commutes. Less driving means less accidents which trickles down to fewer insurance claims for auto glass. Because of this sudden drop in claims, auto glass shops have had to adjust their business operations accordingly.
As an essential business, we at IAS Auto Glass are doing everything possible to provide service to those in need. Even if you aren’t driving, your auto glass may still become damaged from vandalism, break-ins, or an “act of god”. Please call us at 952-797-4374 or visit our auto glass service page for more information.
