Our Mission

NGE is dedicated to ensuring the viability of the Independent's businesses while providing the consumer with freedom of choice, an honest value and the security of a quality auto glass replacement job.
Our Simple Goals for Independents:
Increase the share of insurance work
Increase the volume of retail work

The automotive glass repair and replacement industry has seen dramatic changes when it comes to working on insurance claims. With the advent of third-party administrators (TPAs), no longer can the consumer choose a glass shop for their replacement based on reputation, service or convenience. The TPAs have been dictating where auto glass insurance claim work will be done, thus they have eroded the free market system and the viability of independent shops.

NGE is committed to restoring parity to the auto glass repair and replacement industry. We do not want to see independent shops driven from their marketplace by international conglomerates that value bottom line over customer satisfaction. NGE will merge its strategic alliances with industry partners and the collective strength of its member shops across the country to:

Eliminate the need for third party claims administration

Engage in FAIR, productive, referrals

Increase profit margins

Eliminate lengthy waiting periods for payments

Increase share of cash customers

NGE is committed to keeping its programs simple, fast and fair. Fair to the consumer, insurer and glass shops. We are in this together, and together we can succeed.
