Windshield repair - Where in Florida?

[Kidoo]

I am in Thalahassee Fl now and want to have my windshield repaired. I had a chip the other day, it is a little bigger than an quarter. I checked with a few places but seems like the only place they would do it is at Safelite Auto glass but the price seem to be on the high, $129.

Any other good places in Florida? I am going to Lake city then down south through Tampa.

Thanks.

I did contact the insurance, they cover the repair. They say it will not affect my record, but I am not convinced on this and do not know after how many will they pay. This is my 4th rock on the windshield this year alone.

Twice in Arizona and 2 in Canada from heavy trucks where they had small gravel on the road for ice condition. If it continues like that this will be a monthly payement just for windshield repairs.

Is it you motorhome or toad? The $129 is most likely the cost to repair the chip, not a new windshield. That price seems reasonable, but make certain there are no hidden fees or charges. Also, you can probably negotiate that price. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of the repair rather than have to pay for a new windshield replacement. Did you contact your insurance?

If that is them coming to you for the work, that's not bad.
I think I paid about that to have two chips fixed last year.
The result is not perfect but worlds better.
