went to a football game yesterday and some tailgaters broke my windshield..car insurance deductible wont cover it...so i got a quote for 343 bucks from Geico's glass people..

what is the cheapest way to get this done??? i have a 96 nissan maxima se

thanks

 

Call the local auto-glass places... I think you should be able to get it done for 250 or so and most places will drive out to whereever the car is and do the job on-site.

 

Uhh, have the tailgaters pay for it...? Or is it too late for that now? Why wouldn't your deductible cover it?

 

Go get several bids. You will be surprised at the range of bids you get. Ask your favorite repair shop too.

 

when i got to my car it was after the game..i tried to get outta there asap..there was no way to find out who did it..my deductible is 500 bucks unfortunately..i'll go get a bunch of estimates in a few days when i have time...how bad a ticket can u get for driving around with a busted windshield?

 

well if you explain the situation it shouldnt be a BIG issue unless you get a really strict officer, but you could try to argue the sum of the ticket + cost of replacement for the deductible if it totals 500 bucks lol

 

Is a windshield from an aftermarket shop the same quality as getting it done OEM at a dealership?

 

i just got mine done for 150. i got it tinted on the top and everything its CLEAR AS HELL.
i forgot the name of the place i'll look it up next chance i get.

 

i didtn get to see the guy do it because i was at work but my dad did. he said the guy seemed very concientious and what not.
i dont think there is any real trick to it, its a form of support to the cabin, is what the guy said apparently.
i trust it, it hasnt leaked, i mean what else could be wrong with it?

 

Shop around, I got mine for $180 installed.

 

I paid in the neighborhood of $210 about 4 years ago from a local glass intaller. I called around several shops in and around Okc most were in the $250 range. I don't know what inflation has done to prices lately. Call around you should do better.

 

hasnt had to be done on my Max yet but on my last car (93 Civic) one local guy wanted 385 and but the guy who ended up doing it wanted 180 and change, just shop around in your area

 

my last car was free... i guess i had glass coverage, now i have a deductable for the glass

 

thats a lil too much for glass. Like the other orgers said, a lot of them are on site, they come to wherever your car is. It should be no more than $250. N also, make sure that they gaurantee that there will be no leaks n wind coming thorugh, my mom had a minivan done twice, first shop that did it we had to go back, but the second shop that did it no need to go back at all. You could hear wind coming in through the windshield which you're not suppose to. i guess they didn't put enough gaulk or whatever they call it

 

my windshiled cost me 120.get a price like that.

 

I paid about $120 for mine to took about an hour and it was good to go
