$150 is for a repair, not replacement
I really don’t think that kind of damage on windshield can be repaired.$150 is for a repair, not replacement
They have jumped up quite a bit at 150 bucks. It was 98 bucks a year or so ago when I went in.Just had a rock hit mine Friday. 35 mph, I was about 3 car lengths behind the car in front of me. Only 2400 miles, never had this happen to any vehicle I have owned in 40+ years. It was loud. It's about 1-1/4" at longest point. I have coverage, but when I inquired about affecting my premiums, she said if there were multiple claims, they could increase my deductible. There is no deductible for glass break repair or replacement here. I am going to have to call a verify info. from the insurance company tomorrow and decide if I am going to just pay out of pocket. Quote from Safelite online was $150, $20 mobile fee. If you look online, they have very few appointments available until the end of the month.
Almost everything has gone up significantly nowadays. Just found out the MSRP for OEM wiper refills on my gen-1 CX-5 have gone up from $8.33 / $8.16 / $8.10 November last year to current $10.74 / $8.56 / $12.05 front-driver / front-passenger / rear respectively.They have jumped up quite a bit at 150 bucks. It was 98 bucks a year or so ago when I went in.
It was quoted online @ $134.99 + $19.99 mobile fee + tax. So actually more than $160. Another local business close to me has a cost of chip repair $75 on their web site. I am going to check 2 shops close to me and get quotes and what process they use. Just pisses me off these windshields are so "brittle" compared to older vehicles I have owned.They have jumped up quite a bit at 150 bucks. It was 98 bucks a year or so ago when I went in.
Agreed. I’m my experience they’ll say it can be repaired but they’re all shoulders when you ask why it looks bad afterwards. I tried having a starburst fixed back when I owned a 2014 Corolla. The repair looked like crap and it was right in my field of view, so I got it replaced. My mother in laws ‘18 CX5 had very similar damage to the OP. She opted for repair and imo it looks atrocious. The center of the crack was filled, but there are still three plain as day cracks branching out from the center that didn’t get any resin inside of them.I really don’t think that kind of damage on windshield can be repaired.
That's the exact kind of response I was looking for. Looks like it has 5 cracks coming from the center. Definitely getting more "eyes on" opinions from local shops. The guy with safelite was on the phone and never asked much about the "chip", just wanted to schedule the appointment.My mother in laws ‘18 CX5 had very similar damage to the OP.

Exactly. Run away from safelite. All they do is advertise and that's how people know them and think they are the best to go to. They are the worstThat's the exact kind of response I was looking for.

OEM replacements on both of my vehicles.Safelite only uses aftermarket windshields and they are horrible and the installs are horrendous as well.
That isn't correct. I had a windshield replaced by Safelite on a 2016 Acura RDX a few years ago and they put an Acura windshield back in. I specifically had it done that way as the car was less than 6mths old.Safelite only uses aftermarket windshields and they are horrible and the installs are horrendous as well.
Exactly what happened to mine.My previous car got a stone hit. Safelite did an excellent job replacing the windshield. My gripe was they first tried to fix the windshield, and it looked totally fixable, and the guy came back and said the windshield broke trying to fix it and I would need to replace it. They didn't let me watch when they were trying to fix it and I felt like they broke it on purpose.
If I go with them, it will be done in my garage with me overseeing the repair. Haven't had a chance to go to the other 2 places near me.My previous car got a stone hit.
