California's Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) has done an
investigation of Safelite Auto Glass by sending investigators to
Safelite shops to have auto glass replaced. The result is that the
State has filed a 60+ plus page 'accusation' of violating
California Code of Regulations.
BAR, a division of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, is
known to be a tough enforcer of the numerous regulations for doing
automotive repair in the state of California. Most of the violations
Safelite is accused of relate to improper paperwork and invoicing, such as omitting items
including pricing, customer acknowledgement, odometer readings, as well
as not providing the customer with an estimate prior to starting the repair. For
more information: See
the November Issue of the NAGC (National Auto Glass Consultants). Another
detailed story was included in the November issue of Beyond
Parts and Equipment, a leading news publication for repair
professionals. California's
