    Need windshield repair in So. Cal - need reccomendations

    Dammit

    My baby took a hit today. Got a crater smaller than the size of a dime. My dealer has quoted me $840 to replace the windshield.

    Before I do, i'd like to find out if those windshield repair artists are worth the time. Anyone have any experiences using them?

    Comments appreciated.

    If the dealer is quoting using OEM windshield then I think that's a pretty good price. AFAIK the other guys use a PPG glass or other.

    I would wait until that ding opens a crack or you get another one and are covered by your insurance's comprehensive schedule.

    Check your insurance policy to see if you have windshield coverage. I had a similar problem with two of my cars; lived with the first until the second occurred; called insurance company about problem and was told I was covered specifically for windshield damage with no deductible! Did I have that much foresight, or was I simply too lazy to read what insurance I was buying years ago? I'll let you decide. Good luck.
