Our Story

In the 1980’s, the Frank Sorrels was just like many other American men. Faced with every-day challenges and living in a small rural town, he often worked long hours. Doing a “good job” was never a challenge for him, but receiving a good income and benefits for the effort put out was. With that goal in mind, in the fall of 1985, he started to build Northwest Windshields out of his home. As a pioneer of mobile auto glass repair and replacement services, he began the business with the unique idea of taking the shop to where the vehicle was…a concept that was unheard of in those days. Focusing on the goal of developing a nice business for his family, he worked hard and learned to “work smart.” He enjoyed owning his own company and being his own boss…and eventually, his efforts started to pay off. He soon realized that there was sure to be others that would appreciate the same type of income and benefits. It was then that Frank's vision expanded again and the franchise opportunity was born. Today, the corporate office has relocated to The Dalles, Oregon in the beautiful Columbia Gorge. Frank is excited for the families that have prospered because of this opportunity. With the development of successful franchises throughout the Northwest, he is proud of the support system that he offers each of them. Seeing others benefit from his dream has always been a long-term goal of his from the beginning stages of the business.
