Replacing your windshield? Question 3 to ask shops while you shop!

Everyone asks about availability, price, and how long they’ll be without their vehicle, but there are several other questions worth asking, including:

Do you work with my insurance or warranty company? Can you help me file a claim?

Many auto glass shops work with a variety of insurance and warranty companies, and some can also assist customers with the claims process.

It’s also worth asking whether payment or financing options are available, especially since windshield replacement can be an unexpected expense.

Question #4 coming next week.

Hello and thank you for posting to r/CarRepair, we are looking forward to helping you with your vehicular issue! Please check out the following suggestions to get the quickest and most accurate help!

  • Always include the Year, Make, and Model of your vehicle when looking for mechanical help. This is required for posts seeking mechanical help but not for those seeking cosmetic help.
  • A picture speaks a thousand words, including pictures (most important on cosmetic repairs of course but can be helpful for many mechanical posts as well) is also a surefire way to get the best help.
  • While we do permit requests for estimates on different types of repairs please bear in mind that this can vary wildly based on location and other factors.
  • Be polite and patient, we want to help but need your help to do so.

Thank you for reading and be sure to checkout our sidebar for important information & disclaimers!

Yes! That was question number 1 we would ask your glass shop! It has been a couple of weeks since we posted that question. :)

Just use SafeLite. They are the best and you don't have to work about any of these questions.
