SGC Issues New Discounts for Nationwide and Farm Bureau Participants

The Columbus, Ohio-based SGC Network has issued a number of faxes this week regarding upcoming new discounts on windshields and tempered parts through its work as third-party administrator for several insurance companies. Among these are new discounts from Nationwide Insurance and its subsidiaries, including Allied Insurance, Titan Insurance and Victoria Insurance, and the Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Co. of Idaho and Western Community Insurance Co.

glassBYTEs.com™/AGRR magazine was able to obtain a copy of the notices issued to a shop in the Southwestern United States. However, it was not able to confirm if the discounts are the same throughout the United States or if these vary. The SGC Network, which is owned by Belron US (formerly Safelite Glass Corp.), could not be reached for comment.
The new Nationwide pricing will go into effect next Thursday, September 13, and reads as follows:

NAGS Windshield 41.0 percent (off NAGS List Price)
NAGS Tempered 41.0 percent (off NAGS List Price)
Labor: $42 per NAGS Hour

The company notes it now will pay a flat fee of $63.50 per windshield repair in this area.
