Eh, my windshield cracked. Came out to the parking lot after school got into my car and guess what I see. Two foot long hair cracks. Now my question, what good/cheap (I know it doesn’t go together but hey u never know) automotive glass place in Capital Region? I went to Niskayuna Auto Glass and got quoted $250 before tax. ---

Glass insurance is $21 per car per year for me and I’ve been wrecking one windshield a year lately. Definitely the way to go. ---

Well, eh I though I had glass insurance on mine but here’s what I got when I called my insurance to see whats covered. Toyota Celica COVERED Toyota Camry COVERED Honda Civic NOT COVERED I guess I forgot to put it on! :(, while i was talking to her I added it to my insurance because I know that this will probably happen again. ---

dude if you put glass coverage on, then just wait for like 2 weeks, and make a claim. ---

wow, im so glad ive got glass coverage. whats more expensive guys, to buy the GLASS itself or the labor of putting one IN? i mean ive seen it done, it doesnt look hard, but i know if u mess up a bit u break it, crack it or it leaks nonstop. ---

Labor is dirt cheap, window isn’t, nor is the equipment used to put it in. A Safelite guy did my windshield on a side, windshield COST was 180$, and he charged me 200$ total. The window was in the car before I was even done with the morning jog. ---

i cracked the windshield in my old beater… when my hood latch rusted and the hood flew threw it at 80mph, and the windshield in the EK was punched and cracked… but i had Capitalland do it. $221 including tax and they showed up at my house… i left a check in the visor, replaced the windshields… no complaints other than spending $440 on windshields. ---

Well just for future reference I went to a couple of places in CapRegion to get Price Quotes (all quotes were for the same car ;D) Colonie Mechanics $280+tax Safelite $263+ tax Niskayuna Glass $250+tax American Glass $230+tax Amazin Glass Co. $190+tax So I went with Amazin Glass Co. cuz they are cheap and now have Glass Insurance added to my insurance so this shit doesn’t happen again. I was really surprised that Amazin Glass had way lower price then any other places that I went to, so I had to give them a call again to check if work and everything was included in the price. PS: Hank, thank you for your help! ---
