Windscreen

[jase-r34]

Hey guys, I wasnt too sure where to post this so just thought I'd put it in here...

I was driving home tonight from Brissie and this stupid young so n so in front of me thought it would be a good idea to swerve over onto some loose stuff on the side of the road and throw a nice big stone up at me which cracked my windscreen....

I haven't been able to call my insurance company yet (Sunday) and am just wondering if anyone has had to have a screen replaced before? Bit worried it might take ages for them to get one or something.

Thanks guys!!

Did you get the guys details? It was his 'hooning' behavior that caused the damage.

Ok, just rang just car.....only to be informed that they don't do excess free windscreen claims....

$1000 a year and getting f**k all it seems....

I had to replace mine, O'Briens did it and it took them only a few days to get one up from Melbourne & the seal from Nissan..

Google : Campsie Auto Glass..

They did my side window (i.e $515) but a front windscreen is cheaper something like $250..

Enjoy because everyone else will sell 3X the price.

Metro Auto Glass, got mine done for $185 on the weekend

and yes that's the cheapest price in Sydney

Thanks for the replies guys! Ive had a couple of quotes for around the $220 mark so not too bad. Still kinda pissed that Just Cars won't cover it like my other insurance company does for my toyota....

$220 doesnt seem too bad at all. i got quoted more on my old VR bommodore. good to know if the same happens to my 34.

Really? They quoted me about that much for my '97 corolla when i moved up here about 18 months ago....Mind you I am a rating 1 now instead of 2

I'm not 25 yet either, which I think makes a bit of a difference with Suncorp and others?

But yeah I'm pretty happy with $220 so I'll get it done asap!

yeah some/most companies prefer 25+ y.o
