Additionally, The Hartford provides a range of services to ease the difficulty of recovering after a loss and hopefully make your job easier. Auto The Hartford s Auto Repair Network Auto Repairs Done Right One convenient option we offer your customers after an accident is access to The Hartford s Auto Repair Network. Instead of worrying about finding a dependable shop, your customers can rely on one of nearly 1,500 highly reputable network repair shops. Here s what the network offers: Shops are clean, safe and easily accessible. Shops maintain the most current repair technology. The Hartford guarantees the repair work for as long as your customer owns the vehicle. Customers get a $100 discount on deductible in many states. Satisfaction scores are consistently higher for customers who choose the network. Auto Glass Repair Hotline One Call to Report the Claim and Schedule Service A no-hassle option for glass-only claims is the Auto Glass Repair Hotline. The Hartford provides a network of more than 11,000 repair shops that your customers can access with one simple phone call and no paperwork. Repairs can be scheduled 24/7 and mobile service is available in many areas. Plus, we waive the deductible in many states when a window can be repaired rather than replaced. Rescue 1-800 Dependable Roadside Assistance The Hartford s RESCUE 1-800 provides access to emergency roadside assistance for all Hartford auto policyholders 24 hours a day/365 days a year.
