California Insurance Code § 758.5 — Your Legal Right to Choose

Under California law, your insurance company cannot force you to use Safelite or any preferred vendor. You have the legal right to choose any licensed auto glass shop. If your insurer pushes back, simply say:

"I am exercising my right under California Insurance Code Section 758.5 to use Auto Renu Auto Glass LLC."

Or just call us first — we contact your insurer directly and handle everything so you never have to say a word.

What Customers Say About Our Insurance Process

⭐ 4.9 Stars · 187 Reviews

★★★★★

"Called Auto Renu at 9 AM, they called my insurance, got approval, and a tech was at my house by noon. $0 out of pocket. State Farm. The whole process was shockingly easy — I did nothing except open my door."

— Kevin M., Walnut Creek

★★★★★

"I didn't know I could choose my own shop. My insurer kept pushing Safelite. Auto Renu told me about California law and handled everything. GEICO covered it 100%, came to my office. I will never use Safelite."

— Sandra R., Concord

★★★★★

"Toyota RAV4 with Safety Sense — Auto Renu filed my Progressive claim, replaced the windshield, AND did the ADAS calibration all in one visit. Other shops wanted $280 extra for the calibration. Zero extra here."

— Marcus T., Oakley

Auto Glass Insurance Claims — Frequently Asked Questions

Will filing a glass claim raise my insurance rates?
No. Under California law, comprehensive auto glass claims are no-fault claims. Filing a glass claim cannot raise your premiums under California Insurance Code. You should always use your insurance — it costs you nothing and this is one of the main benefits of carrying comprehensive coverage.
Can my insurer force me to use Safelite?
No. California Insurance Code Section 758.5 guarantees your right to choose any licensed auto glass shop. Your insurer may suggest Safelite but cannot require it. Simply tell them you want Auto Renu Auto Glass LLC, or call us first and we will handle the entire conversation with your carrier.
Do I have to pay my deductible?
It depends on your policy. Many California comprehensive policies have a $0 glass deductible — meaning windshield replacement is completely free. If you have a deductible ($50, $100, $250, etc.), you pay only that amount. Auto Renu verifies your exact deductible before scheduling — no surprises.
What if my crack is bigger than 6 inches — is it still covered?
Yes. Full windshield replacements (not just chip repairs) are covered under comprehensive auto insurance regardless of crack size, as long as you have comprehensive coverage. A large crack that can't be repaired simply means a full replacement — which is still covered. Call us and we will verify.
Is ADAS calibration covered by my insurance too?
In most cases, yes. If your windshield replacement is covered, ADAS calibration required as a result of that replacement is typically covered in the same claim. Auto Renu includes this in your claim filing automatically. This is one reason many customers save $200–$450 vs. going to a dealership for calibration separately.
