Chipio Auto Glass

This happened to me by the same company only here in Missouri.
Re: Chipio?- COPY OF MY BBB COMPLAINT
This happened to me tonight at a BP gas station. Here is a copy of the complaint I sent in to the BBB. When you call the numbers there are no answers. When you look them up online they are unpublished numbers. 480−371−3164 and 314−558−1262.
Consumer’s Original Complaint :
The «tech» scamed me. Said I had chips on glass. I did not. He «worked» on the «chips» and sent a claim to my insurance. They’re scamming insurance companies.
I pulled into a gas station on my way home from work. A gentleman approached me stating it was customer awareness day and offered to clean my windshield. Another gas station I go to does this so I thought nothing of it. Then this guy told me I had «chips» in my windshield and that he was with Chipio Windshield Repair and could take care of them right now. I asked him how he could do that? He said all he needed was my insurance card and that he would get Allstate on the line and if I had full coverage they would handle it as a «no Fault act of God» Claim and would be no cost to me. While I was speaking with the Allstate claim rep he started on my windshield. It only took about 15 mins to «repair» the so-​called chips. He gave me a copy of the reciept and said have a nice day and I was off. When I came home and told my fiancé about it he was furious. My fiancé is a mechanic and said he had recently inspected my vehicle and there was not any cracks. So this Chipio company basically «repaired» something that didn’t need to be «repaired» and is now going to get money from my insurance company. This is fradulant and I feel so stupid for falling for it. Like they say: If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Consumer’s Desired Resolution:
I don’t want anything from these people. I don’t want them to scam anyone else for false services that didn’t need to be done. I called my insurance company and they told me that because I authorized it they were going to have to pay these people. I think it’s ridiculous. I just don’t want anyone else to fall into the trap that I did. I think they need to be looked at closely. I should have known better.
It’s not the tech I’m mad at. He is just trying to make money. These Chipio people should be ashamed.

While the «technician» never lied, I still felt greasy after my service. Like most of us, I was approached at a gas station. I’d seen this routine before, but I actually had the time to get «work» done on this encounter.
The tech looked at my windshield, and pointed out three small chips. I didn’t notice them, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. We discussed my insurance plan, and I agreed to let him do the repair. The tech promised it’d take only three minutes.
Five minutes later, I finally get off the phone with my insurance company. The tech pulls the glue or whatever off of the windshield and says I’m done. WTF? He spent less than 60 seconds on my windshield, and the rest of the time with my insurance adjuster.
I suddenly feel gyped. (1) He only fixed two of the chips, not all three. (2) The windshield was dirtier than when I drove in. I will never patronize these windshield clowns again! Again, he never lied, but I (mistakenly) assumed I’d feel good about being proactive and keeping my car in good repair. I feel duped!
I’m not sure what’s appropriate here. Choose your cliché:
*You get you pay for.
*Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I see all the bad reviews on here and it really shocks me. I live on a military base in Anchorage, Alaska. I drove to the gas station and one of them asked to wash my windshield and i didnt see anything wrong with that. He found a chip and he said he could fix it if i had full coverage insurance. He called my insurance company and they told me that i would not have to pay a deductible. He fixed it and i havent had any problems with it. Maybe i just had a good technician that was up front with me while yours didnt. I dont know but i would definitely recommend this if you have f/​c because we definitely get alot of chips in the windshield up here.

Simaliar story like the other who posted. When to get gas at a Chevron, got windshield clean, found a chip and got it fix. The only difference is I knew about the windshield chip on my car and I was going to get it fix on the weekend. But lucky me, someone showed up at a gas station and offer to fix it. I was like cool, saves me some time. Story short, did not do a very good job. it was a half-​**** job. I agree with the others reviews, very deceptive. I am contacting Chevron to see if they are aware of people like this on their gas station.

Was stopped at a Chevron and was told «We’re getting everyone’s windows today» had my windows washed. She found a chip I’ve had for almost 2 years. Took about 20 minutes to call insurance company and complete repair. It was a legit chip. I don’t think I like their deceptive scheme, but my insurance did cover it and she made sure it did before starting on it. I suppose the fix was as good as it could be.

Liars liars liars. Ok. I didn’t fall for this scheme myself but someone very dear to me did (such an innocent and gullible person)!!
They misrepresented themselves as Chevron employees, working collaboratively with insurance companies and all this extra bullshit. Don’t trust these people. They’re out to jack you!
The bill came up to $ 180 for 3 mini cracks ($ 60 each)! Its supposed to be billed to the insurance company, but he only has liability so guess what! It goes to him for payment.
Stupid scammers! Preying on innocent people. You should be ashamed of yourselves…

Totally annoyed by this business. I have to admit I fell for the salesperson’s spiel (never having come across this before). I drove into get gas (in the Bay Area) and this woman tells me it’s «customer appreciation day’ at the gas station and they are washing windows for customers – uh, okay. She then proceeds to find 3 tiny, tiny ‘cracks’ (2 were dots, one was barely bigger than that with a small spider). I would have never noticed these in a hundred years they were that small, but whatever, she said she could fix it at no cost to me and in «Only 5 mins». So I said sure. She then says that my particular insurance company is authorized to work with them and she is calling them for my ‘reassurance’ that they will cover it. Lie. First of all, it was 5 mins per dot (and I have a hungry 2 y.o. in the car, thanks lady!) and secondly, she called my insurance so they could pay her company, not to ‘give me peace of mind’. Oh and btw, not an authorized service provider with my insurance company. I was totally swizzed by this lady-​I mean, whatever, it is a covered service but I’m not sure that I needed it and also, it is just yucky when a business tries to pull the wool over you just to score their commission or $$ or whatever. I am normally more skeptical of people like this, I swear she caught me off guard, but I’m so mad I went a long with it. *Not* a company I will ever do business with. Oh and I’m not sure she even did a good job. Run far far away from these shady people.
