How to Start and Run a Windshield Repair Business for Fleet Companies and Car Dealerships

Starting a windshield repair business focused on servicing fleet companies and car dealerships is a smart niche strategy. These clients have a steady stream of vehicles and consistent need for repairs, offering recurring revenue and long-term contracts. Here's how to start and grow a profitable windshield repair business serving these high-volume clients.

Step 1: Understand the Market

Before launching, research your local area:

  • Fleet clients might include delivery companies, utility companies, taxi or rideshare fleets, and rental car agencies.

  • Car dealerships need fast, reliable repairs to keep vehicles ready for sale.

Reach out to these businesses and ask about their current windshield repair process, average costs, and pain points. Understanding their needs gives you an edge in developing your pitch.

Step 2: Get Trained and Certified

While some states don’t require licensing for windshield repair, formal training gives you credibility:

  • Enroll in windshield repair training programs through organizations like the National Windshield Repair Association (NWRA) or Auto Glass Safety Council (AGSC).

  • Get certified to increase trust and professionalism—especially important for B2B clients.
