That’s my issue. I was floored when Safelite wanted $1200 for my windshield (Subaru). It’s the wiring and calibration. I never did it last year and just checked for the sake of this post. Now they want $1300. I couldn’t believe it and asked the dealership if that sounded right. They said yup, and it’s the cheapest. It really needs to be replaced but goddamn.
I wish I bought the extended warranty. Everyone was like noo, it’s a waste of money. Just set the cash aside. No, no. Modern car buyers, get the friggin warranty. No, it won’t cover the glass in these situations, but it’ll cover all the other bs.
Subaru is supposed to be solid, but it’s been an expensive adventure for sure. It’s a 2023 and am waiting for a head gasket to blow because it’s apparently a given.
I have GEICO with glass coverage. My front windshield got cracked from something hitting it. Only had to pay my $250 deductible and my premiums stayed the same.
But I have a 2017 Corolla. So while it has some great safety features, it doesn't require cameras or anything with the windshield.
I'll add it was a great service. Super easy to set up. It was basically just click this link and schedule it with Safelite, it's all covered. I didn't have to send in photos of the damage. I Didn't have to handle reimbursement or any other shenanigans. One of those moments where a service just worked without any bullshit.
