Corrections and change log
The short answer
- Material corrections are logged here with the date, the page and what changed.
- A material correction is one that would change a reader's decision. Typos and rewording are not logged.
- Anyone can challenge a figure, a threshold or a technical claim, including technicians and insurance professionals.
- Pages carry their own last reviewed date, which moves whenever the page is checked, whether or not anything changed.
This is the public record of material changes to content on this site. It exists so that a reader who acted on an earlier version can see what moved, and so that our own error rate is visible rather than quietly edited away.
Change log
| Date | Page | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-06 | Site wide | Initial publication. Price bands set for 2026, repairability thresholds documented in the methodology, state pages built with inspection and glass insurance classifications flagged for reader verification. |
Entries are added at the top as they occur, and where a figure changes the old value is stated alongside the new one so the change is legible rather than invisible. A log with few entries means one of two things, and we would rather you could tell which: either little has needed correcting, or the process has gone stale. The last reviewed date on every page is the cross check, because it moves whenever a page is checked, whether or not anything changed.
What gets logged and what does not
| Change | Logged |
|---|---|
| A price band moves | Yes, with the old and new figures |
| A technical claim is corrected | Yes |
| A repairability threshold changes | Yes |
| A state's inspection or insurance classification changes | Yes |
| A page is expanded with new sections | No, the page's last reviewed date moves instead |
| Typos, wording, formatting, link fixes | No |
Challenging something on this site
The most valuable corrections come from three groups. Technicians who work to these standards daily and can say where a published limit and real practice diverge. Insurance professionals who can point to how a policy form actually behaves in a specific state. And drivers holding an itemised invoice that sits well outside our bands, since that is direct evidence about the market.
Include the page URL and the specific claim. If you have a source, send it. If you have an invoice, the line items matter more than the total. See the contact page for where to send it, and the editorial standards for how claims are evaluated before they change a page.
A standing caveat on the state pages
The state pages classify inspection programs and glass insurance treatment at the level of category, and legislatures change both. Texas narrowing its safety inspection program for non commercial vehicles is a recent example of how quickly a classification can go stale. Every state page carries a verification prompt and a link to that state's official portal for exactly this reason, and a reader who finds a stale classification is doing the most useful thing anyone can do with those pages.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a correction?
Anything that would change what a reader does: a wrong price band, an incorrect repairability threshold, a misstated procedure, an out of date state program, or a claim that turns out to be untraceable to a source.
How do I report an error?
Send the page URL, the specific claim you are challenging and, where possible, the source that contradicts it. Quotes far outside our published price bands are useful even without a source, since they point at a band that needs revisiting.
Do you remove pages?
Rarely. A page that is wrong gets fixed and logged. A page whose topic no longer applies gets updated to say so rather than quietly disappearing.
