Why “Too Good to Be True” Usually Is
Gravity Auto Glass | Phoenix, AZ

If you live in Phoenix, chances are you’ve seen ads or flyers offering $100, $200—even $500 cash back for getting your windshield replaced. Sounds like a sweet deal, right? But here’s the truth: most of these “cash back” auto glass offers are a scam—and they could end up costing you a lot more in the long run.

At Gravity Auto Glass, we believe in honest service, not gimmicks. So we’re pulling back the curtain to explain how these schemes work and what you should watch out for.

How the Cash Back Scam Works

Here’s the usual setup:

1. A company offers you hundreds in “cash back” just for going through your insurance.
2. They replace your windshield and submit a claim to your provider—often inflating the cost or adding services that weren’t done.
3. They pocket the extra money while handing you a portion as “cash back.”

This might not seem like a big deal—until your insurance company flags the fraud, raises your premiums, or worse, drops your coverage altogether.

Warning Signs of a Scam

• High-pressure sales tactics: “We’re in your neighborhood today, but only for a few hours!”
• No storefront or business license: Just a phone number and a cash offer.
• Too much focus on the payout, not the quality of glass or calibration.
• Lack of proper ADAS recalibration: Many of these shops don’t recalibrate your safety systems after installation, which is a major safety risk.
The Real Cost of “Free Money”

Phoenix is one of the most targeted areas for windshield fraud in the country due to Arizona’s “zero deductible” glass coverage. Insurance companies are aware—and cracking down. Here’s what that could mean for you:

• Higher premiums
• Denied claims in the future
• Out-of-pocket costs for faulty installations
• Unsafe windshield replacements or skipped ADAS calibration

Is a couple hundred bucks really worth it?
