Body shops are trying to keep up with increased demand, especially for windows, not just in Dauphin, but also across the province, the CBC reports.
One body shop owner, R.J. MacKenzie, manager of Speedy Glass in Dauphin, has had glass brought in from all across Canada, but its still not enough for the hundreds of calls hes received, the CBC reports.
We are going to be emptying warehouses all over Western Canada, MacKenzie told the CBC. There are hundreds, if not thousands of cars without windows, and so we are going to have some issues, but thats just a matter of time.
