How we vet partner shops
Every shop listed in our network has cleared a four-step screening pass. Below is exactly what we check before a shop receives its first lead, and the ongoing standards they keep to stay in the network.
Where we are today
We match you with multiple vetted KC-metro shops, and you pick one. The screening criteria below are applied to every shop in the network, and they're the same criteria every new operator clears before joining. We're expanding deliberately rather than racing to fill the network — quality first, scale second.
1. Business license verification
Every applicant provides their active state-issued auto-glass business license. We verify the license is current and that it's registered in Kansas or Missouri (our v1 service area). License suspensions or active disciplinary actions are auto-rejections.
Independent of state licensing, we also verify the business is registered with the state Secretary of State and has been operating for at least one year. New shops can apply but face a tighter probation period and lower daily lead caps for the first 90 days.
2. Insurance verification
Active general liability and garage-keepers insurance are mandatory. Applicants upload their Certificate of Insurance during signup. We verify the coverage is in place and that policies are current.
Insurance must stay current. Lapses trigger immediate pause of new leads until restored.
3. Warranty + workmanship standards
Partner shops must offer a minimum 1-year workmanship warranty and a lifetime water-leak warranty. We verify this is published on the shop's site or in writing during onboarding.
We also verify ADAS calibration capability. Shops that don't offer in-house static and dynamic calibration must specify their sublet partner — we'll route ADAS-equipped leads accordingly.
4. Ongoing review monitoring
Every customer we connect with a shop receives a one-click review request three days after their service. Reviews under 4 stars route to manual moderation. Our standing rule: a shop's running average must stay at or above 4.0 stars across 10+ reviews to remain in the network. Drops below 4.0 trigger a 30-day review pause while we work with the shop to address customer concerns.
We also plan to spot-check Google and Yelp listings for partner shops on a monthly cadence. Major review-score drops or pattern complaints trigger the same internal review process.
What this is not
We are not a regulatory body. We don't inspect shop facilities, test workmanship directly, or audit individual jobs. Our screening focuses on the documentation and customer-experience signals that historically predict shop reliability — license + insurance + warranty + reviews.
That said, the bar is real: applicants with current license suspensions, expired insurance, sub-4.0 review averages, or no warranty offering don't make it into the network. Drivers using our service get a meaningfully filtered shortlist, not a yellow-pages dump.
