Yea. I have a local guy that does my replacement when needed. Better price.

And I like the local guy. Safelite just opened a drive in repair shop at the entrance to my neighborhood. Which made it easy for me. I had in the past, had them come to my house for a repair, but it was threatening to rain, so the guy cancelled on me. I was not happy. Vowed then not to try the driveway repair ever again.

Ask your agent about adding glass coverage. It’s not a big add on cost…

Usually, there’s no cost for glass chip. So not sure if it then cracks, do

My chip repair sucked. Could still see chip.. until the truck hit the front

Clearly, he could see through those claims.**

Yeah, I should have had the rock chip repaired at no cost...
