The fastest way to file an MPI glass claim is to let an MPI accredited glass shop do it for you. You skip the phone call, the shop submits the claim, and MPI pays the shop directly. Here's how the process works in 2026 and what it will cost you.
What an MPI glass claim covers
If your vehicle is registered and insured with Manitoba Public Insurance, glass damage is covered under your All Perils coverage. That includes:
Windshield chip and crack repair
Windshield replacement
Side (door), quarter and vent glass
Back glass
Sunroof glass
ADAS camera calibration needed after a windshield replacement
Will a glass claim raise my rates?
No. Glass-only claims don't affect your MPI premiums, rates or Driver Safety Rating. That's why a claim is usually the cheapest way to fix glass for Manitoba drivers.
Step 1: Find your deductible
Look at the "ALL PERILS" line on the white portion of your vehicle registration. Your deductible is the most you'll pay; MPI covers the rest.
What changed in 2026: the old $200 Plus and $200 Standard options were merged into one Extension $200, a new Extension $750 was added, and the basic deductible rose from $750 to $1,000. Chip repair is now free at every extension level.
Step 2: Choose an MPI accredited glass shop
An accredited shop meets MPI's standards, can process your claim in-house from start to finish, and bills MPI directly. AA Auto Glass is an MPI Autopac accredited glass shop in Portage la Prairie.
Step 3: Open the claim online
With AA Auto Glass, opening a claim takes about 2 minutes on your phone. You'll need:
Your name, phone number and email.
A photo of your vehicle registration.
Details about the damaged glass (a photo helps).
A police report number, if the damage was vandalism or theft.
We contact MPI, submit the paperwork and confirm your coverage. You don't need to call MPI or your broker.
Step 4: Book the repair
We'll call to schedule. Choose drop-off at our shop at 175 8 St NE, mobile service at your home or work, or free vehicle pickup and drop-off in Portage la Prairie. Chip repairs are quick; windshield replacements usually take 2–3 hours, plus calibration time on vehicles with driver-assist cameras.
Step 5: Pay only your deductible
When the job's done, you pay your deductible, if any. We bill MPI for the rest. Every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty.
When a claim isn't the best option
A cash quote may be better if you have the $1,000 basic deductible, your vehicle isn't registered with MPI yet, you have out-of-province plates or insurance, or you simply prefer to pay out of pocket. Read MPI claim vs paying out of pocket or ask us for a free quote.
