Will my premium increase on filing a claim?
Filing auto glass claims typically doesn't have a significant impact on your insurance premium. Many insurance companies treat glass claims differently than other types of claims. They often consider them to be "no-fault" claims, meaning they are not considered a reflection of your driving record. As a result, filing a glass claim usually won't lead to an increase in your premium. However, it's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider to understand how they handle glass claims and if there are any potential impacts on your premium.
ADAS Recalibration
