As if I didn't have enough excitement yesterday with my bald eagle sighting, I had to top it this morning. When I was getting off the turnpike on my way to work, a tractor-trailer kicked up a stone that slammed into my windshield. Of course it chipped it and the chip had already started to get a couple of star points, a sign that it was going to grow. With the weather being the way it has lately, I decided to call Cindy Rowe Auto Glass and get it repaired.
I was able to set up an appointment for 10:30 this morning and took my car in. It only took them about 1/2 hour to repair the damage by filling it with a resin. And the nice thing, Liberty Mutual, my insurance company, covered the damage 100%, no deductible. It's a good thing because that one little ding would have cost me $59.95 to have repaired. I guess I won't complain about paying my car insurance anymore.
Posted by doug at January 8, 2004 11:06 AMi always suggest people be familiar with their insurance in these things. the insurance company would rather pay the full $60 to repair it than shell out to replace the windshield you neglected to repair.
my simple liability policy i had on my old car allowed this sort of thing as well as full coverage for other random natural things, like dropping trees on my car or vandalism, even though i didn't have collision insurance.
Posted by: john at January 9, 2004 09:07 AMMakes sense.. .That's what I was figuring, that they would rather pay the little bit to repair it than pay to replace it (minus a deductible). I'm just glad it was covered completely.
