As Certified
Auto Glass Technicians, the PPG ProStars at Vancouver Glass will do your
work professionally, and it will be done right the first time. What
makes a ProStar?
- Certified: PPG ProStar technicians
have a minimum of three years experience and/or National Glass Association
certification. That means that the people installing your auto glass
are professionals who understand the importance of a quality, safe
installation.
- OEM Glass: Original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) glass is made using the same quality systems developed
to meet the rigid needs of car manufacturers. ProStars offer OEM
glass because they're concerned for your safety.
- Continuing Education: Over 7,000 insurance
agents and customer service representatives have taken the PPG PRoStars CE
course. These classes teach how and why the windshield is a critical
component of a car's safety system, and why proper installation is so
important to your safety.
- Warranty: They stand behind their work
with a "no excuses, no hassle" warranty. It includes a written,
lifetime guarantee on repairs, an against leaks on a windshield
replacement.
