Your insurance company will send you to the right place, but for me the best has been Safelite AutoGlass, they came to my house and replaced it free of charge. Good luck.

Safe lite came right to our house. Excellent job. Over 3 years ago and still good. We paid out of pocket. I think it was $80

If car is registered in FL windshield is replace with no deductible - notify insurance co - also no impact on your premiums

I bought a windshield repair kit and did it myself. Really easy and cheap. No insurance hassle.

Same for us. You must have comprehensive and in Florida, comprehensive MUST include ALL glass damage with no deductible. In our case Satellite billed my insurance about $60-70 as I remember. 90 minute job by the Ocala franchise, don't in my driveway. Lifetime guarantee, if the chipper-re-appears or you are not satisfied with the job, they replace the entire windshield and bill your insurance company (as long as you don't change companies).

Windshield
 
Your probably covered by insurance. They generally replace it but you must make sure you include deductable. ALso bessure it is OEM glass. They sometimes try to install lesser quality.

I've noticed FL is lax in issuing tickets for unsecured/covered loads.
Beware if traveling near "Dirt Cheap" on 441.
I've seen mesh trailers loaded with gravel leaving there....:22yikes:

I’m sure you thought you were being funny, rather than seriously suggesting someone commit insurance fraud, right?

We had the same incident. Safe Lite Glass came to our house. It was very cheap and they did a great job

anpo532 09-04-2020 10:22 AM

Yes. Safelight came to my house and fix a ding in my windshield in 2004. It is still fixed.

bpascani 09-04-2020 10:45 AM

my insurance covers those repairs with no deductable

If a very small chip and not in field of vision, just buy an inexpensive repair "kit" from an auto supplies dealer
