Auto Glass Certification Training Earns Stamp of Approval

Glass Doctor is one of a kind. It is now the first retail glass company to offer the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) registered training program.

Glass Doctor University (GDU) prepares new Glass Doctor franchises to be registered for AGRSS, as well as certified for adhesives application by DOW and SIKA. Now, this is available to all auto glass shop owners.

To be able to provide this training program, Glass Doctor had to meet four AGRSS training form qualifications. These include retention systems, mechanical training, glass replacement, installation standards and procedures and AGR safety issues.

“We are proud to be one of the first glass retailers to have a registered program, it establishes our credibility, and commitment to AGRSS standards,” said Vice President of Franchise Relations and Training Dan Mock.

GDU provides a four day training program in Waco, Texas conducted by the nation’s top industry leaders. GDU Technical Manager Frank Levesque (pictured), an industry veteran with 40 years of experience, is the lead instructor. He’ll be joined by Denny Noreikas and Dale Malcolm of DOW, along with Blake Brandt and Carl Tompkins of SIKA.
