Best Window Glazier In Canberra?

[william1]

Hey everyone,

I'm new on here (and reasonably new to the world of Skyline ownership!) and wish my first post was slightly more positive but...

I was just woken up to the sound of my car being broken into, and am now left with glass everywhere and one window short I guess that on the bright side my alarm scared them off before they could grab anything...

Anyway, I have had a quick search around to no avail and was wondering if anyone could had any thoughts on rough costs/recommendations for a place to get it repaired? I've never been in this situation before :S

Thanks

Oh crap.... sorry to hear that Stupid thieves

I'm sure most glass replacement places would do it? Or you could source one from a wrecker/import workshop, or on here, and then just pay for the labour?

Or if you're with Shannons or another insurer who has free glass replacement you could probably get it fixed for nothing.

Found this link on Obriens...

thanks heaps! ill give them a call tomorrow morning and see whos cheapest

im a little worried now cos i don't know where to park my car in case they come back.. i think i'm gonna invest in one of those covers and hope for the best. the car needs a pin code to start so hopefully that will scare them off!

I'd just make sure there's nothing in it to steal and tape up the window with some plastic or something for tonight... Obriens or similar should be able to do it for you tomorrow if you ring up early

hmmm seems its gonna cost me 700 bucks so... anyone wrecking an r33?

[natett]

i assume its the door glass?

they're usually pretty expensive just for the glass. I sourced one for my car (its not a skyline) in Sydney and picked it up after a ACT panel shop smashed mine. even second hand it was close to that.

Wrecker in queanbeyan had an r33 with both doors and windows a lil while back.

BTW - Obrien's did a chip repair for me today and it was $150 for a chip on the front windscreen passenger side.

Thinking I should have had the the windscreen replaced for $300 at that price.

Especially as it left a mark even after the repair.

when mellys was broken into it cost her $500 just for the door glass

[Shell]

I had no idea it was so expensive! Makes a lot of sense to go with an insurer who has the "1 free window replacement per year" type thing, $500-$700 is a large chunk of your premium essentially paid for!

[Trozzle]

not when most companies want $3k for comprehensive.

[Shell]

I didnt say a large majority, I said a large chunk... if you were paying around $3k, $700 would be close to quarter of it... which is a large chunk!

[Randon_I_Am]

You tell him!

[Shell]

I will. Stupid Troy.. not knowing his large chunks...

[Trozzle]

I'll give you a large chunk!

Come on, you left yourself open for that one (geddit? Left yourself open for a large chunk? hey??? hahahahahaha)

[Shell]

yes I geddit!!!!

wasn't funny though

ok maybe a little bit

[mid life crisis]

boody hell thats dear i had the tailgate window replaced on my falcon wagon today cost 200 bucks supplied and fitted and he come to my house .

[william1]

yeah its not the door window but the one behind it. queanbeyan have one but havent gotten back to me yet to pick it up, so still waiting.

f**k i wish i left the car open and they just took the cd player, nothing else of value in there.

depressing
