PSA - you can have your windshield crack repaired

[Anonymous]

If you have a small crack or chip, you can have it fixed for $100 or less. I wish I had known that. I’m know looking at $1700 to replace my heavily cracked windshield.

Not only does GEICO do this for free, they even send someone to your house to fix it.

Why don’t you put it through insurance? Most people don’t need to pay out of pocket for an OEM windshield unless you have a really nice car.

Not only can you have a crack or chip repaired, you can do it yourself. I did my own repair two years ago and it's been fine. It doesn't look as good as someone that has done it a thousand times but it still looks almost invisible. I have a hard time finding where it was even when looking for it and knowing the general area it's at.

Yeah, boo. “Safelite repair, Safelight replace.” Anything smaller than a $1 bill they fix for free. It takes 20 minutes.

They don't fix it for free. They "waive" the deductible which is most likely not allowed but sure...

And Erie. Plus you may have insurance to cover the replacement.

We've used this too and it works really well!

USAA also does this.
And to those who said doesn’t everyone know this? I assume my teen drivers don’t. Why would they? You’d only know if it happened to you.

The crack will still be there I was told. The fix is only to not make the crack spread.

In the end we paid the $200 insurance deductible.

Using after market or factory glass?
