Question DFW - Windshield Repair

As you can imagine, I have a few dings and cracks in my windshield from all our cruises. My insurance will let me take it to whoever, but they are recommending safelite.

Does anyone have any recommendations on getting cracks repaired in DFW?

safelite works fine, but are you talking about getting the crack filled? or getting the glass replaced?

I used Safelite when I had to replace my entire windshield on my previous vehicle. I didn't get my insurance involved during that time, and so I had to find a reasonably priced solution.

At the end, I was satisfied with their windshield replacement and quality of installation service. They were very professional & friendly.

If you're only looking to get your windshield repaired, I'm sure they'd still do a good job, although I haven't used them for that specific job yet.

Good luck.

Our front windshields are not cheep. :o( I had my entire windshield replaced with safelite, i love it, they were quick and courteous and very professional. They came out to my house and the guy installing it actually asked me if I wanted to armorall my dash and dust in the crevices that you usually cannot reach. If anything happens to it, they will fix it or replace it free - nationwide.

Good deal!

in Florida the state requires insurance companies to replace damaged windshields with zero deductible, I haven't ever seen that any where else ...

richardson auto glass. excellent work at a great price. they came and replaced mine in the parking lot while I was at work.

also, tell them that penny (or your service advisor) at TNM referred them to you. I did that and got a discount, i think..
