description

At North Glass, we provide professional canopy glass replacement services for a wide range of vehicles. Whether the canopy glass has been damaged by an impact, cracked, or shattered beyond repair, our experienced technicians will replace it. We use custom made panels and proven installation techniques to ensure a secure, weatherproof fit and restore the strength and functionality of our customers canopy's.

capture the lead

Before creating a windscreen replacement job, "create a new customer" or confirm the details of an "existing customer":✓ Customer name✓ Property address✓ Email address ✓ Phone number Purpose: The information gathered during the initial phone call is to determine the following:1. To identify the correct canopy panel requiring replacement.2. To confirm the canopy make, serial number, and glass type.3. To confirm the insurance details (if applicable). 4. To ensure the correct replacement glass is ordered before booking.
Using the "Auto Canopy Glass" job template, always work through the following checklist before booking in with a glazier.
1. Obtain the vehicle registration (Rego) number.
Why we ask: The registration allows us to identify the vehicle's make and model and helps us source the correct panel.
2. Confirm the vehicle owners name.
Why we ask: This ensures the booking is recorded under the correct customer and matches any insurance claim information.
3. Ask if the replacement is being completed through insurance. If yes, obtain the insurance provider, claim number and/or policy number. Why we ask: We require the claim and policy numbers to process the replacement directly with the insurer where applicable. If the customer has no insurance we will have to provide them with a quote. 4. Confirm the date the damage occurred. Why we ask: This information may be required for insurance purposes and helps us confirm the claim details. 5. Identify the canopy glass required. Ask:Is it the Left-Hand (LH), Right-Hand (RH), or a rear canopy glass?Is it a fixed, lift-up, or a sliding glass?What is the canopy make?What is the serial number (if available)? (The stamp is located inside the canopy on the side at the rear)
Why we ask: Canopies are manufactured in different styles and configurations. Confirming these details ensures the correct replacement glass is ordered. 6. Ask for the key number (if applicable). Ask: Do you know the key number for the canopy locks, and would you like the replacement glass keyed alike? Why we ask: If the customer would like the new lock keyed to match their existing canopy keys, we will require the key number when ordering. Before ending the call, confirm:✓ Customer name✓ Phone number✓ Email address✓ Vehicle registration, make and model ✓ Identified the panel they require ✓ Schedule the booking (Always book the customer in) Once you have gathered all of the required information, explain the next steps to the customer: - Let them know we need to prepare a quote for insurance (if applicable). We need their approval before we can order the panel in. Lead time is based on the POA from the manufacturer. - If they have insurance they will need to lodge a claim. - If they have no insurance we will have to do a quote and take a 50% deposit payment before we can schedule their booking. See below. - Tell the customer that we need their vehicle for 1.5 hours for us to carry out the replacement.

To correctly identify the replacement panel for the customer's vehicle before ordering or booking the job, you will need to: Step 1: Search the vehicle registration in CarJam. Confirm the vehicle details, including:Make and ModelYear (if available)Body type Step 2: Ask if the customer can either:- Bring the vehicle in for identification; or - Send us some clear photos of the panel from outside the vehicle. - Send us a photo of the stamp on the inside of the canopy - Let us know if they want this to be keyed alike if applicable Step 3: Contact the OEM suplier and request a POA - You must send photos to the supplier to help them identify which panel is required. - Make note of the price and if freight is applicable- Request if they can email us a formal quote and to put the rego in the subject line (easier for us to reply to when ordering)- Ask if a trade discount is applied as we are an installer You will need to have this information ready:- Rego- Make and Model- Year - Body type
Important notes:- Add a "misc" item line in the quote and you must provide the OEM code. The sell price is calculated using the RRP price plus 25%- Add the freight charge, cost plus $45. Minimum sell price is $95 even if freight is free (oversized item)- Panels need to be checked as soon as they come off the truck - do not sign for it if it is broken/faulty (glass can break in transit) - the supplier will need to dispatch another one as soon as possible at their expense.
