They may not increase your insurance policy, but it is an incident on your policy. You should wait, especially .They may not increase your insurance policy, but it is an incident on your policy. You should wait, especially if it’s a small crack for a while as they keep building here in TV. There will be many more cracks in your windshield as long as they continue to build.

While getting my oil changed at Honda of Ocala, a salesperson from Pristine Auto Glass Ocala noticed I had a small crack in my windshield, but it required the windshield be replaced. Pristine Auto Glass of Ocala came to my home the next day and replaced windshield. The following day came back to recalibrate the safety settings (lane assist). Pleased with their service. Phone is 772-800-7589.

Insurance will pay for either repair or replace on a windshield without any cost to the owner.

Had a small crack on one of our cars, glass company came to house and repaired it and never had a problem. Also about a dime size.

thank you.
I called Big John’s. They do not have any resin in stock for their machine. It has been on back order for 6 months. No idea when it wil be in. I called SafeLite and they will be here to do the repair on Tuesday morning in my driveway, no charge as insurance covers the approx $75 charge.

I don't think they told you the truth about the resin being on back order for 6 months. Unless it is something very exotic, there is plenty of windshield repair resin in stock on Amazon.

A kicked up rock on 301 chipped my windshield. Last broken windshield was 20 years ago. Fortunately, in the great state of Florida, windshields are covered, free to the car owner, for one replacement per year. I;m in the office calling up the windshield company when my secretary yells out to hang up. Asks what happens if next week a rock cracks the windshield instead of chipping it. I would have used my "one" annual windshield replacement. This explains why there are so many broken windshields in a state where windshield replacement is mandatory coverage.
