NW have also 'trained' Admiral staff on how to deal with windscreen calls, and what to say. There used to be some exceptions/exclusions to the 'approved/nominated/preferred' supplier arrangement, but this training has seen to this! However, there are circumstances which will give you a chance to get what YOU prefer in terms of authenticity/quality of parts, and who fits them.
