Call your Insurance company and ask them, Sometimes windshields are covered under their policy. I got my last windshield replaced for only $50 through my Insurance company.

I called my insurance and they said if it was less than my deductible, to just pay it becuase they wouldn't cover it...so I went to safelite and they did it for under $300

Next to PicknPull on Commercial is Low Price Auto Glass. I've used him for 10 years and he never disappoints on price/workmanship.

yeah if they dont cover it, def dont buy a windshield from the dealership. You can get a PPG windshield installed for around $300. PPG is an OE autoglass supplier, it will be as good or better than the ones you get at the dealership.

yep, tip the worker 5 bucks and youll def. get a good job done for around 120-150 dollars installed.

safelite uses the same aftermarket ppg glass as low price auto glass. Ive had windshields replaced at both places...found out one was just a waste of money for the same end product.

Well, I went through my insurance policy's glass deductible, hence only $50. That's why I quoted 07wrx4life's post.

Are you sure you don't have a "glass-only" deductible on your policy, Hide? Most policies have it, especially if you have a comprehensive deductible (which is a separate deductible).
