A Pain in the Glass
1 Mar
While driving down I-285 today, I found myself intrigued by a small leaf floating through the air. It wasn’t until the leaf floated down into my front windshield that I realized it was in fact a large rock that had been launched into the air from some car in front of me.
(WREK product placement FTW)
I immediately pulled over to (have a hissy fit and) make a few calls to Amanda and the insurance company trying to figure out what the best thing to do was. Our insurance company gave me a few glass companies that they recommend since our deductible is much higher than the cost of fixing it.
First call: Marietta Toyota
In shop repair for $850 + labor + tax.
HAHAHAAHAHAH AHAHHAHAHAAH *click* #toyotasucks
Second call: All American Auto Glass
Mobile repair Wednesday for $230 (includes labor) + tax.
WAYYYY better, but I still have more calls to make.
Third call: Safelite Auto Glass
Mobile repair tomorrow for $226 (includes labor) + tax + free lifetime warranty.
They came down to that from 236 after I mentioned my previous quote. Better, but let’s keep going.
Fourth call: Executive Auto Glass
Mobile repair tomorrow for $207 (includes labor and tax) + life of the vehicle warranty.
Hooray!
Fifth call: Safelite already came down once, so I gave them the chance to do it again.
In shop repair tomorrow for $190 + tax.
I also double-checked that they were using OEM glass and asked them what their warranty covered exactly.
Sixth call: Why not give Executive Auto Glass a chance to price match?
Mobile repair tomorrow for $196.30.
Not only does Executive Auto Glass offer a warranty for the life of the vehicle (follows the VIN number in case we ever sell the car), they use OEM glass.
I guess if we have to spend money, I feel like I got a really good deal.
