(pls move this thread on the "bay area" forum, tnx)


I was driving 60mph, and this tiny little stone gave my car a 9-inch crack on my windsheild (passenger). I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get my windshield fix ?
And i was wondering for an '04 WRX, (not sure) but the antenna is integrated with the windshield, is there a special glass that I should tell the shop for that?
thanks!

 

i forgot which autoglass place 21st Century Insurance is affiliated with, but do NOT use their shop! i forgot what it was called...will have to dig up some papers to find the name, but the local Santa Clara branch is on El Camino, near Lafayette St.

they were complete dumba$$es!!

 

wow.. thanks for the heads up.
Is it diamond triump (the company they used). coz so far, that's the best quote i had so far.. but not so sure about the service and the glass they use...

(i jas made a research, and i think that's the same place.)
What was your complain about their service? is it the glass that they use?

 

look up premier auto class in san jose. I think they're off o-toole but i had mine installed for 175. Mention the subaru groupbuy he did a while back and he'll give you that price, thats what i did.

 

it wasn't diamond triump.

my complaints...

1) they scratched the clearcoat b/c the "technician" didn't cover the side of my car before he started removing the rear glass (rear glass breaks into small pieces & they should know this)

2) they didn't get the roof moulding settled correctly, so it was raised...their excuse was that the clip wouldn't seat itself; do they think i'm stupid enough to accept that explanation for their incompetence?!?!?!

3) after some complaints to 21st century, they agreed to buy me new mouldings, so i hesitantly dropped the car off; when they returned the car, i noticed a flat tire afterwards, before i could even drive it.

that flat could not be repaired, so i had to prematurely dispose of that set of S-03's. since the tires were a few thousand miles from being replaced and i didn't want ANYTHING to do with them, i didn't didn't seek recourse. needless to say, i gave 21st century a mouthful about the autoglass place.

 

Call Elizebeth at Creative Kustoms in San Jose.

They have this dude that does their stuff for them. He did a good job on my window last week and his prices for windshields are really really cheap.

 

doughboy.. that really sucks on ur experience.. anyway, i was wondering on how i could get this fixed by my insurance?

thanks for the reply! that's a lot of help!

 

damn, good thread, i need a new windshield too. ill have to check this place out too. oh who do i talk to, this 'he' you are referring to.

anyone know of good, inexpensive, mobile installers (they come to your home/office)? i had someone come out for my old accord windshield and it was only like $200. but this was in san diego.

 

Onemanarmy, thanks for the tip. I did call and got a number.
the guy quoted me about $175 installed.. and he would be doing it on sight. and it is a brand new window.. if anyone needs his number, let me know.

 

yeah i want to give him a call too. could you post or pm the #? thanks man.
