Windshield need to replace

gtmassive75 · 06-28-2015, 08:07 PM

Just saw my windshield and its shattered all over. Found a brick sitting by the wiper. Car was park..
Anyway, my car have HUD, LD etc. I called GEICO and they told me if I have the dealer change the windshield, I'm responsible for the workmanship over $40hr..
Also if their affiliates don't have the aftermarket in stock, then they can approve OEM..
My comprehensive is covering glass... Should I contact Safelite or just take the car to the dealer. They mention if the car goes to the dealer I will have to pay out of pocket and then file for reimbursement.

Which company you guys used locally and was satisfied?

Need some help here, how should I approach this..

Thanks
Steve

I would call Safelite. the dealer will charge you around $800 vs $500 at Safelite. Depending on what your deductible is, it may not be worth to go through insurance.

Spoke to Rallye BMW, cost will be $2400 out of my pocket, then try to get back it from the insurance.
Spoke to Geico, they approve BMW glass from Safelite(was told the glass will have a BMW stamp on it), Geico will cover all expense, since i have glass coverage. No out of pocket cost to me. Geico paying Safelite around $1000, was told work is warrantied.
