Glass Claims

[radiodanno]

Ugh. Have had a monumentally st day chasing brokers, underwriters and glass companies.

Long story short, Auto Windshields came to me a fortnight ago to replace a cracked screen in my Avensis. They refused to warrant on the basis of corrosion on the leading edge of the roof. I rejected their offer and sent them on their way, still with their new screen.

Found a brilliant coachwork company who have been a delight. Bargain price for paint and remedial works.

Called glass company on Friday to organise a visit to have the glass removed: two weeks. Two ruddy weeks. Autoglass 9 days. This is with me saying the MOT is about to expire.

So, coachwork company have a glazier that will fit at £145 +vat. Can start tomorrow. Not bad considering the excess is £70.

Question is, am I better to just cough up? Will it affect my premium next year either way?

Any help appreciated. First time I've had to sit and plan for an MOT; thems the joys of shedding.

Just sort it yourself sounds the quickest way.

check your policy and you will know for sure, i had my heated windscreen replaced and paid the 70 glass excess and it didnt affect my policy.(I was with with the company that has a dog who says yes alot).
