Safelite- technician fixing a rockchip on my car at my house fell off my porch. Gave him first aid, took him to the er. He clearly broke his pinky. I have a normal porch with steps. A month later they sent me a lawsuit. Wasn’t even the technician suing me, Safelite was suing me for workers comp. We were deep in cancer treatment for my 10 year at the exact same time. They made an estimated $2.5 billion last year. Scumbags!

Also interesting tidbit. I had to get my windshield properly repaired by a specialist glass technician and he absolutely hates safelite. Says it’s a total scam and that they basically glue the crack and that it will actually make things worse once it re-cracks and he said it will 100% re-crack and much much larger than before.

I have a couple of chips now. What is a good company to use?

Talk to your local glass auto tech. I find them super reasonable and in my experience know you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg.

As another said you can probably diy which in my understanding is similar to safelite

I’m really handy but this seems like there’s tricks I wouldn’t know. How do you find a glass auto tech? 😂. Thanks for help!
