The Glassbytes article does not quote him saying "One stop solution to the North American Collision repair industry by adding automotive glass to our product offerings."

Thats going to be worlds colliding for me.

I can see a lot of things gunna happen with this.Phone call question will go from how much to supply & install a new w/shield in my vehicle TO how much to install a w/shield in my vehicle I have my own W/shield [new] glass ?? Then it begins, if u install it how long will u warranty it ??Then if there is any problem u will be the one that gets badmouthed.Problems like poor fitment of glass or mouldings, tempered parts not fitting properly etc etc etc..Next thing u know will just have to stop at Wall Mart & pick up glass,& some open 24hrs to..GREAT..Looking forward to reading all input, Good OR BAD..Just my 2 cents[Canadian that is ] Gday EH..

If LKQ sells to body shops @ same price as glass shops there will be a lot of chatter that will spread the great prices on glass @ LKQ.This could be a pain in the ass for all sectors of auto glass replacement or maybe just a bump in the road, we will find out this fall.

I guess LKQ targets the body shops among 7000 retailers of PGW clients group for the chance of sales for non-glass body parts.
