I would like to comment on this article. I have shops in states where these car wash's scare peope into replacements. I personally have experienced going to replace a windshield for a customer and having the network, tell me that it was just repaired 1 month ago, when in fact, the customer went to a car wash turned there car over to the car wash attendent. That attendent gained there insurance information from the glove box and billed for 3 chip repairs. A glass guy standing at a car wash, or at a gas station is just like someone beating down your door selling anything. If your not sure about it dont buy from them. Any reputable glass shop has stores, phone #'s and a van with there name on it. I would suggest asking questions before doing anything. And as for the free cash and steaks, there overbilling your insurance company and chances are you will get billed the difference if over charging occurs.
