Safelite massive advertising on Conservative Radio in the Southeast during 2012 Presidential Election

[edit]

I am looking for a Mitt Romney connection. Currently compiling statistics on advertising buys on Glenn BEck, Rush Limbaugh and Shawn Hannity. Wikipietime (talk) 13:43, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like WP:OR. A connection is unlikely to be the result of anything other than: there are a lot of listeners with those shows (especially these days) and the company wants to reach as many potential customers as possible. DP76764 (Talk) 17:14, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Acquisition of Auto Glass Center

[edit]

Before the 2010s, there used to be a company called Auto Glass Center. They were founded in 1946, a year before Safelite, and their slogan was "Your Hometown Glass Company". In the 2010s, they were bought out by Safelite and the acquisition marked Safelite's first stores in many of these areas. The cities I know for sure that had Auto Glass Center locations were Moline, Illinois and Lincoln, Nebraska. I have added this info to the article, but it is unsourced as I cannot seem to find anything when googling Auto Glass Center, which leads to generic results. The closest to a source I have is this https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4923946,-90.4966379,3a,15y,310.96h,80.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9lOlCt6MqDbtp4srJ8kAlA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en and you have to click on Street View - Nov 2018 and set it to Aug 2011. While the building is now clearly Safelite, they still were using the former company's vans, and this can be clearly seen in the August 2011 streetview. This continued for some time until they were replaced with Safelite's own vans. Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Moline1 (talk) 15:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Luxembourg provider?

[edit]

What is a Luxembourg provider? The word Luxembourg isn't mentioned anywhere outside the opening line. Does it mean the company comes from Luxembourg? (But it also says it's an American company?) Is a Luxembourg some kind of product they offer? 109.76.154.90 (talk) 17:56, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick look into this, and wasn't able to find anything on it, other than a single Facebook post with 2 likes saying that Safelite's parent company, Belron, is based in Luxembourg. This does not appear to be true however, as everything points to Belron being based in England instead. Will be deleting the reference to Luxembourg.

Edit request: Add company initiatives and partnerships

[edit]

Hi editors, I’m affiliated with Safelite and would like to suggest a few updates to improve accuracy and reflect recent third-party coverage. I won’t edit the article directly due to COI guidelines, but I’ve drafted a neutral, well-sourced content block below for your review:


Safelite is the largest provider of windshield replacement services in the United States. In 2009, the company implemented a warehouse management system (WMS) from Cambar Solutions to enhance logistics and inventory accuracy across its distribution centers. The system replaced paper-based processes and introduced real-time tracking, resulting in a 73% reduction in shipping errors and achieving 99.98% inventory accuracy at its Enfield, North Carolina facility.[¹]

Following its acquisition of City Auto Glass, Safelite continued several community engagement initiatives previously led by the regional provider. Local events such as fishing tournaments, which historically supported charitable causes, are now organized by Safelite’s teams to maintain continuity in regional outreach efforts.[²]

In May 2025, Safelite partnered with TRICON Garage and NASCAR driver Corey Heim to support Foster Love, a nonprofit focused on improving the foster care experience for children in the United States. The collaboration coincided with National Foster Care Awareness Month and featured Foster Love branding on Heim’s No. 11 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro across four NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races. Heim’s vehicle was redesigned in blue—the official color of Foster Care Awareness Month—to honor foster families, volunteers, and child welfare professionals. The campaign also celebrated Foster Love’s milestone of serving its one-millionth child in foster care. Safelite Foundation President and CEO Renee Cacchillo highlighted the company’s commitment to the cause, noting that associates had embraced the partnership and shared personal connections to the foster care system.[³]
