You've got a crack in your #windshield and you're not sure what to do. First things first, call your #insuranceagent. They will lead you to a reputable glass shop like #Safelite.
Julie of Harry Levine Insurance sat down with Magali from Safelite to discuss why it is so important to hire a reputable glass company when you're experiencing an issue.
There are different types of glass and it's important to know the differences. There's OEM, OE, and OEE. OEM is the original manufacturer with the dealer logo. OE is the same but without a logo, and OEE is considered the 'off market' brand but still up to the same safety specs as the others.
When shopping for #autoglass it's important to use a #reputable company because they will put customer safety first. A lot of vehicles have advanced #safety systems and the glass will need to match that. A reputable company will know that systems will need to be re-calibrated to ensure the continued safety of the drivers.
A reputable company will also offer a warranty not only on the glass itself, but on the calibration of the systems.
Unfortunately in this industry, there is a lot of #fraud. Any time that insurance is involved, people seek out opportunities to scam people and their insurance agencies. If you see someone going door to door, approaching you in a parking lot, or pointing out damage that you can't see, run the other way. Shut the door in their face. Some scammers will even try to get you to sign an assignment of benefits. Do not sign anything before talking with your insurance agent. That's what they're there for.
It's difficult to estimate a price because it really depends on the make and model of your vehicle but the range is around $300 to $2000.
Make sure that whatever company you go with has a 'repair first' attitude. In general, if your #damage is less than 6 inches in length and not in the driver's view or blocking advanced cameras, it's eligible for repair. Too many people replace their windshield because the company doesn't give them the option for repair. Safelite will always explore repair as the first option.
When in doubt, call your insurance agency. Harry Levine Insurance is your advocate.
