Now PPG is also gonna steer work from their own customer base. That's fantastic. Of course they already have a base model to use to steer called LYNX.

Re: now what do you think?????

Wow , its always something. Autoglass quoting coming soon well at least we can price check now. I guess this will be strictly for Prostar shops or is it going to work like 89 glass and glass net?

Re: now what do you think?????

It's gonna be interesting to see how they quote expensive dealer parts like the one Sglass posted: DQ9406 YP. I would think the next step is gonna be hooking up all their Prostar shops to the quoting system and screwing the rest of us.

Re: now what do you think?????

Like I said atleast we can see what kind of pricing we are up against.

Re: now what do you think?????

I think this is a way for PPG & LYNX to have us bend our knees & touch our toes so they can show us where the wild goose goes. Just my opinion though.

Re: now what do you think?????

How can PPG make this statement "While the time it takes to do an auto glass replacement will vary depending on the windshield, it usually takes around two hours to actually replace the windshield. One hour is spent doing the actual replacement," about our replaceing a windshield?
Does this mean LYNX sanctions 1 hour labor payments on most windshields?

Re: now what do you think?????

Ya know, I must of missed the part where LYNX was mentioned in this article. Actually what was described is probably the correct things that should be listed, as well as the installer would be able to answer the questions.
Doesn't seem like PPG can do anything right to satisfy some people.

Re: now what do you think?????

Do you not know LYNX & PPG are connected?

Re: now what do you think?????

TGIF do you work for PPG?

Re: now what do you think?????

If you listened closely when METRYX was launched you would have known this was coming. METRYX had several phases some announced and some only hinted at. Marketing METRYX directly to the consumer was part of the plan. I believe that the State Farm decision to stop waiving deductibles for chip repair hastened this "consumer" phase of METRYX.

Now the question is, will having your credentials (which will hopefully be verified) available to the public be good for all, or will PPG use this to simply promote those glass companies that are "partners" or LYNX "participants"? I guess time will indeed tell.

Re: now what do you think?????

eyes: I think TGIF does work for PPG...look at his other posts under the PPG selling to GM article here.

Re: now what do you think?????

Yes Glassgod I know. He also just cannot seem to understand why an independent glass shop would be effected by this program. HHMMMM...
