Home and Auto Windshield Replacement - Page 4

Frazod · 09-06-2010, 11:11 AM

Got hit by a rock a couple of nights ago, before I even realized it had done damage the next morning a crack had already started, which has grown to about ten inches. I assume there's no way to fix it, but I haven't had to have a windshield replaced in so long I have no idea how much it costs. All the web pages for local auto glass guys say call for estimate, which won't work very well on Labor Day.

Any ideas how much this will set me back? The car is a 2006 Impala.

Oh well. Life's a bitch in the big city.

Make sure your state doesn't have the $0 glass deductible. Florida had that, and American Family has that standard as part of their comp coverage.

No such policy in the People's Republik of Illinois.

I have State Farm and windshield replacements are free. I get the windshield on my cars replaced every two years or so. Definetely worth calling your agent. State Farm contacts the window company, they do a 3 way call with you that lasts about 3 minutes then they come out to your house ans swap you out.

Might want to price shop American Family. I had them for years in MO, and FL but they didn't write in GA when I moved here. They just started last year and I just switched over. Overall with all my policies (3 cars, home, umbrella, boat) American Family is saving me $800/year and all my deductibles are lower.

Comprehensive claims are not chargeable and will not make your rates go up.
