Chipped windshield - Auto glass place?

[Phr3sh]

Hey there,

I've got a small chip in my windshield and I can notice it getting slightly worse.

It's only a matter of time before a crack develops.

Can anyone recommend an autoglass place that can fill this?

I usually advise standard auto glass...they also have a mobile service...least they used to..

you've clearly missed the concept of a recommendation

Apple auto glass - paid $70 for it. Just to let you know there might be blemishes left after getting windshield repair.

I used AB1 Top Auto Glass, once to replace my front windshield and one other time to replace the rear. The jobs were quick and easy and it's a mobile service.

What I recommend you do is call around and ask for estimates. You can also go to those auto glass repair places (looks like a tent) in front of canadian tire stores. They can give you a quick estimate, too.

$75-$100 is nothing compared to a full windshield replacement. An aftermarket windshield replacement is about $400-$500. If you go to an OEM windshield replacement, the bill can easily climb to $1000 or more

The aftermarket windshield is usually of a much lesser quality than OEM.

It depends on the location of the chip, if it is in your direct field of view, a repair will leave a slight blur that can distort the vision a bit in that area and it can get very annoying and distracting. Personnally I become dizzy looking through a distorted windshield.

Get that chip fix asap, vibrations on the road can easily make the whole thing crack

I called a couple autoglass places and I was told insurance companies will pay for chip repairs free of charge with no deductible or effect on premiums.

When I called my insurance company I was told there was a deductible.

But when I went into the shop, the guy there called for me and was able to set everything up for free.

I guess they prefer going through insurance b/c they charge $100 with them vs $50 through me.

[telman]

Check the local CT parking lots, I have had a couple of chips filled for about 40 bucks a pop. I also found a local guy from this forum for the same. All did a ggod job.

I have used Speedy Auto glass a few times. My car has 2 chips in it and the other car has 1.

They did a good job, chip hasn't gotten larger after a few years (**knock on wood**).

The price range was from $40-60. Definitely worth it and best to get it done sooner than later.
