About Auto Glass Now
Auto Glass Now carved out a powerful position in the American auto glass market by competing aggressively on price without cutting corners on quality. With over 200 locations across the United States, they established themselves as Safelite's most credible national competitor — a company that could match geographic coverage while offering a compelling value proposition to price-conscious consumers.
The company's acquisition by Driven Brands in 2020 was a strategic masterstroke for both parties. Driven Brands, which also owns Maaco, Meineke, Take 5 Oil Change, and other automotive service brands, saw Auto Glass Now as a natural addition to its multi-service vehicle care ecosystem. For Auto Glass Now, joining the Driven Brands family meant access to national marketing budgets, shared real estate strategies, and cross-selling opportunities that no standalone auto glass company could generate on its own.
Auto Glass Now offers both in-shop and mobile service, giving customers flexibility in how they get their glass replaced. Their shops are typically located in high-traffic commercial areas, making drop-off service convenient for customers who prefer to leave their vehicle and run errands. This dual-channel approach — shop plus mobile — gives them operational flexibility that pure-mobile competitors lack.
The company has also built strong relationships with insurance companies across the country, streamlining the claims process for customers. When you can walk into an Auto Glass Now location, have them handle the insurance paperwork, and drive away with a new windshield the same day — that is a compelling customer experience, especially at their price points.
