Metro Glass of Omaha, Nebraska Earns National Accreditation from AGRSS 5th consecutive year!

March 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Metro Glass of Omaha, Nebraska is pleased to announce it has earned its accreditation for the 5th consecutive year by the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council, Inc. (AGRSS).

Metro Glass has agreed to adhere to the strict AGRSS standard, making it one of the elite shops listed on the exclusive AGRSS Website, www.safewindshields.com.  Metro Glass is the only Independent glass shop in the Omaha Metro area with this accreditation.

“Our goal is to make our customer’s safety our #1 priority-we just won’t compromise on the quality of our products and workmanship,” said Rich Lutton, owner of Metro Glass.  “Most people are unaware that there are varying qualities of glass, urethane and installation.  They are also unaware that Federal regulations do not exist, requiring technicians to be trained or certified, so anyone can install a windshield-even though your windshield is a Federally Mandated piece of safety equipment. This is an alarming fact!”

By registering with AGRSS, Metro Glass has agreed to comply with the nationally recognized AGRSS standard for windshield replacement.  

“The windshield is an integral part of the safety restraint system.  Up to 70% of your protection in a rollover accident comes from the integrity of your windshield-it keeps the roof from caving in, while the passenger side airbag is designed to deploy off of the windshield to cushion its impact to the passenger to keep occupants safe.  Anyone having auto glass replaced should look for an AGRSS registered shop,” stated Johanna Lutton.  “There are many ways to install a windshield improperly and only a few ways to do the job safely.  In our business, you get exactly what you pay for.  At Metro Glass, Your Safety is our #1 Priority!”


Metro Glass is a family owned Independent glass shop passionate about educating consumers on the safety of windshield installation.  Metro Glass is proud to restore your vehicle to its original factory condition.  
AGRSS is an accredited American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-standards development organization.  It has developed the world’s only auto glass replacement safety standard, the AGRSS standard (ANSI/AGRSS 002-2002 Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard).  The AGRSS Standard addresses procedures, education and product performance.  The Automotive Glass replacement Safety Standards Council, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the safe replacement of auto glass.  AGRSS was founded and is supported by companies in the auto glass replacement industry that keep safe installations as their primary goal.
