How does it work?
Find a participating glass repair shop.
Call or go directly to the participating glass shop of your choice to report your glass claim.
If the damaged glass was caused by vandalism and occurred in Winnipeg, complete an online report with the Winnipeg Police Service. Outside of Winnipeg, contact local police where the damage occurred to file a report.
Most vehicles can use Mitchell Cloud Glass – but there are exceptions that require special handling.
Have this information ready when you call:
- The driver’s licence document number of the registered vehicle owner. (If the registered vehicle owner does not have a driver’s licence, you may use the customer number located on the vehicle registration).
- The vehicle registration.
- The date/approximate time of day the original damage occurred.
- The vehicle’s licence plate number and Autopac policy number, along with the details about any other insurance you may have and your customer number.
If the vehicle is registered to a company, you will need to provide the customer number located on the vehicle registration.
