    Default ??? Suggestion for windshield replacement? (not for a Miata)

    My daughter has a crack in the windshield of her Altima - anybody have a windshield replaced and were happy with the $$ and the work? She is looking at Richardson Auto Glass for a replacement cost of $165...I don't have anything to compare that to, but sounded reasonable.

    Windshield replacement should be covered by your insurance. Some places will work with you so you don't have to pay your deductible (which is sometimes lower for glass).

    The other option is 'injection' if the crack isn't too big.

    $165 sounds reasonable to me, but it has been a long time since I had one replaced.

    My insurance company will replace my windshield once a year if I claim/need to.
    Blah blah blah!

    $165 sounds reasonable to me if they'll come do it on-site. Will they do that or will she have to take it somewhere?

    Thanks for the info! Didn't occur to me that it might be covered under insurance with a lower deductible - turns out it is. :)
