if NAGS list price increases and you buy off of list.
aren't your agreements based on a discount off of nags list
so you sell of the same list.
so aren't you passing it on or am I missing something

You my friend are missing a lot. Are you actually in the auto glass business?

Nags is not representing the industry. Only the networks & Insurance companies that send them on nice vacations with kick backs. Can anyone say class action lawsuit and this mess is done.

A network helping to "pass on increases". LMAO That's rich.

Hey Jaws, while you are begging LYNX for help, you might want to ask how you are supposed to pass on the State Farm price DECREASE they (LYNX) just announced? You know, the one that states:

Effective August 29, the new pricing rates will be:

• The current windshield chip repair rate of $50 (single), $60 (two chip repairs), and $70 (three chip repairs) will change to a flat rate of $65, regardless of the number of repairs
• Pricing Zone 1: Currently 32% off of NAGS list price for the piece of glass will change to 38% off of NAGS list price
• Pricing Zone 2: Currently 24% off of NAGS list price for the piece of glass will remain at 24% off of NAGS list price
• Pricing Zone 3: Currently 0% off of NAGS list price for the piece of glass will remain at 0% off of NAGS list price
• Labor will increase from $38/NAGS labor hour to $39/NAGS labor hour


Since these networks are apparently running your business anyway, why not ask the question?

Too funny.

thank you for proving my point

Nags is NOT a list price and has NO relevance to what wholesalers or dealers charge for parts. Nags provides a BENCHMARK for each Nags part number, and labor hours for each part. What you charge for parts and labor should be determined by YOU. But if you want to let someone else dictate what you charge don’t cry to others for sympathy.

My question still remains:

How do you come up with all "repairing one, two or more chips for one "flat fee"? Are the dates of loss all the same? If I hit a deer in the morning, I pay my deductible, if I hit one 10 hours later, another deductible. So, why are they expecting one price.........BECAUSE WE LET THEM...

Over the years I attempted to shed some light on the nature of insurance companies, networks, TPAs, and NAGS here on this forum. I attempted to persuade people to run their own businesses and not allow others to run their businesses. It is quite obvious I wasted my time.

So I started coming here just for laughs, but found myself disconcerted by the same old same old same old same old pathetic pleas from the totally unbusinesslike people in auto glass who let themselves be dictated to by outsiders. So I will just tell you about my uncle Ramon and then go away.

My uncle Ramon would be celebrating his 103rd birthday this week if he hadn't been run down by a bus in 1987.
