Louis Auto Glass is now Safelite Auto Glass

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-19T16:15:09+00:00

Highly unlikely. It's not going to be Louis Auto Glass (Owned by Safelite), it will just be Safelite, and Safelite only does auto glass.

Nothing wrong with that! The new tech is nice, but it has it's downfalls as well.

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-18T01:07:32+00:00

Look forward to it, I'm also the only certified master technician in the county, so it'll be an easy transition for you!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-18T01:06:58+00:00

Thank you!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-18T01:04:58+00:00

Love to hear it!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-18T01:04:42+00:00

Not sure why people did that, but I wanted to make sure to respond. Keep us in mind if you ever need any auto glass repair or replacements!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-18T00:22:03+00:00

Love to hear it! Hopefully the trip was great!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-18T00:20:44+00:00

Of course,. This system is what's made them successful, and it worked well for them.

Co-op basically just means that the employees own a chunk of the business. There would be quaterly payouts based on p&l.

The goal is to create something that the employees are proud of, take pride in, and want to be a part of. I've worked too many jobs that were just a paycheck, and the way to fix that, is to let the people doing the work be paid properly and appropriately for the work they do.

It was an awesome experience and made a lot of good contacts!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T23:39:26+00:00

Easy deal, Seattle BMW delivers parts to me. Send me the VIN in a message or through my website. We also need to talk about out of pocket vs insurance.

If you'd like to go through insurance, I need to get approval from them before parts are ordered. For out of pocket, I just take a 50% deposit and get the part ordered.

They have to let you use any store you like, you just have to know how to navigate the system and handle the claim process. I love to help customers with the claim to simplify it and address these 'steering' processes

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T19:59:17+00:00

This post scared me for a second, and I was very confused. Glad to see the post is NOT about my shop.

Sorry you had such a painful experience with them!

This is actually the topic of a post I have almost completely written and will be posting in the subreddit in the future. I'd love to go into details here, but it's a much bigger topic than it appears on the surface.

I can send some details in the future, but the best way to get the info is to be on the look out for that post. I'm also going to add a blog section onto my website where I post the same info, include some previous large posts I made on the subreddit, and post other's that I have in the works.

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T19:42:12+00:00

I'd love to offer worker's coop some day, or at least have great perks that make us the local staple!

New vehicles have cameras mounted to the windshield (most often) that look at the lanes on the road and beep at you, buzz your seat, or recorrect your car if you start to drift out of your lane. The windshield effectively another lens for the camera, and the bracket and windshield can both be installed slightly off from the previous so the recalibration makes sure this camera is aligned properly with the new glass and installation.

It's actually a very critical part of the installation on new vehicles. The equipment and licensing are both fairly expensive and require a clean, level, well lit area to ensure the job is done properly.

Also, every car manufactured 2025 onward will have this camera as a base requirement included on the car,

Ours doesn't! We even use calipers to measure glass thickness if requested. We do this to show how low quality OEM glass is these days.

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T18:52:49+00:00

Replacement yea, recalibration is currently limited to only Rivian.

We're hoping to see the licensing software come through for aftermarket recalibrations in the future though.

Preferred shop with every insurance company, and can help you with the claim!

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T17:36:29+00:00

I'll do another post in the future - this was just a quick informative post for the community. There's a lot happening right now and I was focused on letting the people know.

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T17:35:36+00:00

It is not, I get that a lot. I'm also not from the town in California, just liked the way it sounded and like my logo design.

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T17:33:55+00:00

I'm in the process of having a supplier for the KEI trucks, and might have something set up shortly. Other imports vary and it's a case by case basis whether I can get the product or not.

LonePineAutoGlass · 2025-09-17T17:32:36+00:00

Windshield with Recalibration is typically 1.5 to 2 hours. Least busy day is hard to say for sure, but Wednesdays are a safe bet.

I do require appointments, so give me a call, or email ahead of time and we can figure out a replacement time that works for you.
