Got a rare dispatch from LYNX last week, new Mercedes. Customer had a deductible. Talked to customer and set appointment. Couple of hours later got another call from LYNX looking for a "bottom line bid", turned out to be the Mercedes that was dispatched to me earlier in the day! I informed rep from LYNX that i have this as a dispatch and that the cost of this windshield was expensive and over the customers deductible. Rep was pretty rude that i passed on giving bid, about 20 minutes later i get fax that dispatch was cancelled.
So i guess they cancelled a dispatch and whatever fee they get from it, to have State Farm customer deal with a hack with a cheap chinese windshield. Good luck with that lane departure camera!
