Fast service for damaged windshields

Is your windshield cracked or chipped? West Bend works directly with windshield service technicians to quickly get you on your way. Just call DirectConnect toll-free, and a representative will process your claim quickly. Here's how it works:

After verifying coverage and degree of damage, our claim representative will determine if the windshield should be repaired or replaced. If you prefer to use a particular glass vendor, our claim representative will contact that vendor to communicate details of the loss and billing directions. If you don't have a preferred glass vendor, West Bend will help you select one.

While our claim representative contacts the glass vendor, you can stay on the line and make the appointment immediately or call the glass vendor at your convenience.
