I need advice as to where I can get a new windshield installed on my dime.
I've heard stories that if you pay cash you can get one heck of a deal. Don't know if that's rumor or fact though.
So, does anyone "know of a guy"?
Somewhere in and around Auburn would help the cause.

I went to Safelight in Federal Way 4 years ago (last time I needed one) and my 2011 Silverado cost me $227 out the door...

Be careful for cheap installs/parts. Lots of after market glass is much thinner/lighter and chip/crack easily. Some even crack over the defroster vents come winter freeze.

Microchip

Found them on yelp of all places.

I had them do my truck and car at the same time. For the truck I took all the trim off and put it back on since half the clips needed to be replaced ('87 ~300k miles). The car just had a rubber trim strip that they replaced with something similar.

The installer didn't need my help but he was cool with me giving him a hand. The truck had some rust that I needed to address. He worked on the car while I took care of that.

Price was better than the shops and they're mobile. Came right to my shop.

Hello, the price for your windshield will be $190 plus tax free mobile service.

Not bad.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
After checking each one out, I went with Safelite.
Believe it or not, all were within $10 of each other.
I figured it's best to go with a national company, a lifetime warrantee and has country wide coverage no matter where I am.
Oh, it was $209 OTD. :thumbsup2:

Y’know, every 10 years or so, shit happens and I need to buy a new windshield. It costs a reasonable amount (maybe $200 as discussed), and after it’s done I’m always so amazed at how much better I can see, and how much less glare I have on the windshield, that I wonder why I don’t just replace it every couple of years just for the hell of it.

Well said.

It's almost ( :ROFLMAO: ) like driving a new car. Except for the little squeaks, rattles etc. But damn! The windshield sure is nice.

Actually when they did my windshield it was 6 years ago because the truck was only 3 months old. I gotta take my Lexus to them and get that windshield replaced

DONT FORGET TO PUT ON NEW WIPER BLADES!

Safelite is all over. I'd call them to see how far they'd go.
I went to them so I could drink their coffee. :bigsmile:

I hope you all know that if you have comprehensive coverage, you can go through your insurance. Comp claims do not count against your insurance. If you have a $200 deductible or higher, they will surely give you a cash price. Safelite is very good. Also, Genuine Auto Glass does a great job. You can always contact me and I can help you get a good deal on cash price with either company:)
