To File a Broken Windshield Claim or Not?...That is a good question

SAYREVILLE, N.J. - May 28, 2019 - PRLog -- Ever have your summer fun derailed by having a rock hit your windshield? Or you're enjoying cheering your favorite little league team when a line drive baseball crashes the glass on your car? Don't panic!
Whether you need a simple chip repair or a piece of glass replaced due to breakage, it is important to call your auto insurance company right away. Here's why…..
★ First, you need to know what your deductible is...Auto glass is covered under
your Comprehensive coverage on your policy. Depending on the amount of your
deductible, it may be more cost effective to proceed with a claim.
★ If you find you have a larger deductible of $500 or more, it may be less expensive to pay out of pocket for a new windshield as the average windshield can cost $200-$400.

★ If the amount of your deductible is higher than the cost to fix a chip or replace the glass, than it is better to pay out of pocket and not file a claim.
For instance, if the size of the chip damage is smaller than a quarter, AMG can
fill the damage for $110 ($80 in shop) so if your deductible is higher than $100,
it's better to pay out of pocket for one of our experienced technicians to get you
quickly back on the road.
★ Some insurance companies will even waive the deductible for you..bonus!!
★ Most insurance companies have a glass replacement provider. You have the
right to choose the glass provider you use.
★ Consider for the future lowering your comprehensive deductible. If your
deductible is currently high, ask your insurance representative for the difference
in premium to lower it to something more manageable. Generally it's not a large
increase to your premium.
