Setting Your Location Pricing In Ten Simple Steps
On Glass.com, you’re in complete control of your pricing. We never stipulate your pricing or determine what you should charge. We also don’t promote low pricing- customer search results are randomized and unable to be sorted by price.
Furthermore, we let the customers know during the booking process, and again in their confirmation email, that pricing displayed on Glass.com is for estimation purposes only, and that pricing is subject to change. You’re not locked into the price quote the customer receives through Glass.com.
Auto Glass is the only category that provides instant price estimates to customers. For all other services (residential window replacement, shower glass replacements, etc.) you must contact the customer directly to provide pricing estimates.
Auto glass pricing is calculated using NAGS (National Auto Glass Specifications) pricing. This pricing formula allows you to stipulate your NAGS part price discount, labor pricing, and urethane kit pricing. By default, all pricing will be set to zero. This means if you do not adjust your pricing, the price quotes displayed to customers will simply be the NAGS part list price.
Furthermore, keep in mind that our system will always produce estimates using the lowest part price available through NAGS. For example, if a customer wants OEM glass, our system will not account for this price difference unless an OEM part is the only part available in the NAGS pricing system.
Note:
Auto glass pricing can be set at the company level, location level, or both. Setting pricing at the location level will override any pricing set at the company level. For example, a company with five locations can set pricing at the company level. This pricing will apply to all five locations. If the owner wishes to have higher pricing at one of the five locations, they can adjust the pricing for that single location at the location level.

Testing and Adjusting Pricing
This guide is for customizing auto glass pricing at the Location level. This will change the pricing for a single location within your company.
Auto glass pricing can also be set at the Company level to change pricing company-wide. This is a great option for making bulk changes if all locations charge the same rates.
