Seasonal Fleet Damage & Downtime Risks
Temperature Stress and Glass Expansion
Windshields expand and contract with temperature changes. A small chip from highway debris can quickly spread when freezing nights follow sunny days.
- Freeze–thaw cycles accelerate cracks.
- Moisture trapped in chips expands when frozen.
- Defrost systems create rapid temperature shifts that cause fractures.
Road Salt, Gravel & Sand Impact
The Colorado Department of Transportation spreads sand and gravel for traction, creating high-velocity debris that pits and chips glass — especially for front-line delivery and service vehicles. Industry data shows that winter causes roughly 40% more windshield damage than summer months due to debris and temperature extremes.
Downtime and Revenue Loss
Every grounded fleet vehicle costs hours of productivity and customer satisfaction. Without a fleet contract, companies often pay premium emergency rates or face multi-day delays during peak repair demand.
Benefits of Early Fleet Contract Setup
Proactive fleet partnerships do more than simplify repairs — they ensure business continuity during Colorado’s toughest months.
1. Priority Scheduling During High Demand
Winter storms spike auto glass repair requests. Jiffy Auto Glass fleet partners receive guaranteed priority appointments, even during surges — minimizing downtime and keeping delivery schedules intact.
2. Fixed Winter Pricing
Fleet contracts lock in pricing before seasonal supply changes and demand spikes occur, protecting budgets from mid-winter glass cost increases.

3. Streamlined Billing & Centralized Invoicing
Replace scattered invoices with a single monthly fleet statement. Accounting teams gain clarity, and managers save time on repetitive approvals and payment processing.
4. Insurance Coordination & Documentation
Jiffy’s fleet account managers handle insurance communication, proof-of-repair forms, and compliance documentation for logistics, construction, and government fleets.
5. Improved Safety & Compliance
Cracked or chipped windshields compromise driver visibility and vehicle integrity, risking OSHA and DOT violations. Preventative repairs and scheduled inspections reduce liability exposure and help maintain FMCSA compliance.
