How to File an Insurance Claim for Auto Glass Repairs: A Nova Scotia Owner’s Guide

For Nova Scotia drivers, a chipped or cracked windshield is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a safety concern that needs fast, professional attention. Thankfully, East Hants Glass makes the insurance claim process straightforward and stress-free, so you can get back on the road quickly and safely.

Step 1: Understand Your Coverage

Most auto glass repairs and replacements are covered under the comprehensive section of your auto insurance policy. If your policy includes glass breakage or comprehensive coverage, your repairs may be free, or you may only need to pay your deductible. Importantly, these types of claims usually have little to no impact on your premium, so there’s no need to worry about future rate increases for a single glass claim.

Step 2: Choose Your Repair Shop

Insurers may recommend “preferred” repair shops, but Nova Scotia law gives you the choice to use any qualified shop you like. East Hants Glass is recognized by leading insurers, so you can select us with confidence—ensuring you receive quality work and local expertise.

Step 3: Let East Hants Glass Handle the Details

When glass damage occurs, contact East Hants Glass directly. Our experts will:

• Collect your insurance information and policy details.

• Assess your glass damage and recommend repair or replacement.

• Coordinate directly with your insurance provider to initiate your claim.

• Manage the paperwork and approvals, so you don’t have to.

In many cases, we’re able to open and process claims without you needing to call your insurer—just bring your insurance certificate to your appointment. We’ll make sure repairs are covered and confirm any deductible you might owe (often $0 for chip repair).

Step 4: Repair or Replace?

If the damage is a minor chip, insurance will typically cover a repair at no cost to you, provided you have glass coverage. If your windshield or windows need full replacement, you’ll only pay the deductible outlined in your policy. Our team uses only high-quality glass meeting or exceeding original standards and gets you back on the road safely and efficiently.

Step 5: Fast, Friendly Service—Guaranteed

The East Hants Glass team is with you from start to finish, answering all your questions and explaining every step. We know the ins and outs of Nova Scotia insurance policies and can help you maximize your benefits while minimizing delays, stress, and paperwork.
