How good is that......?

[victim]

Went out to prep the car for a run tomorrow and to fill up, only to find that a chip in the windscreen had developed into an 8 inch crack overnight :sad-smiley-046:
Never having had to deal with windscreen replacement before, thought I'd better phone the insurance to find out what I needed to do. Forget it - closed for claims 'til WEDNESDAY !!!:angry-smiley-055:
Oh well, try calling Autoglass to get an appt. anyway.

Nice girl on the phone at 5:00pm on boxing day says 'no problem, we'll deal with your insurer, no need to contact them and we can do it 8:00am tomorrow' - Now that's what I call Service, most impressed :sign0191:

Need to get mine sorted - :fuyou_2:

This was Autoglass in Aztec west, just of the M4/M5 junction. £50 excess with Directline.
Must be one in Bath Ed ?

You'd think they'd cut a guy some slack. That ent gonna be cheap without insurance :sad-smiley-046:

[Edmondo]

dont we know it!

worst thing was that some scum bag took a knife to the windscreen and it just got bigger

Screen repair for mine tomorrow afternoon, only had a new screen fitted before I bought it 8 weeks ago went out christmas eve and a lorry kicked a stone up and chipped it so Autoglass to the rescue.

[victim]

Is it just me or are Subaru windscreens made of 'easy chip' glass ? In all my previous cars, I've never had a broken, or even chipped windscreen. Since I've have the STi, it's had numerous chips, this last one being terminal :scratchchin:

[Edmondo]

Agree with that mate..............3 or 4 tiny chips and this crack

[elowarr]

The man from Autoglass turned up today and said the chip is too small to repair and to wait until it gets worse or it gets a bigger chip in it :sad-smiley-046:

[Edmondo]

Thats unbelievable - I thought they repaired whatever the size of chip
