Today was all about productivity; hence the late post.

After our downer of a welcome, fixing the window became top priority. Yesterday I called around to a few different local places and got a quote from Safelite {the chain our insurance works with}. Safelite came in at $189.95 +tax for consumer non-claim repairs. {Our deductible is $500, so filing an insurance claim wasn’t worth it.}

I also called B&B Auto Glass on McCarter Hwy. They came in at $140+tax. They had a pleasant enough phone manner. Finally I called K & S Auto Glassworks. Found a great review & 10% off coupon online. The $129 +tax quote came in the lowest anyway. They had an open 7:30am appointment Tuesday morning. We had a winner.

I got out the door late and didn’t end up making it to K&S until closer to 7:50 this morning.

Pretty unassuming from the outside.

Getting an early appointment was apparently an excellent idea. There wasn’t anyone else waiting; my car was taken back right away. The guy really seemed to know what he was doing. The window was installed & he even popped the weather stripping/trim back into place.

I was out the door by 8:10 and to work on time. In total, it cost us $130 {including the glass, a kit thing, something else, & the discount}. I would TOTALLY recommend them. They were quick, professional, and competitively priced.

We’ll see how it holds up but I have very high hopes. It was a very pleasant way to end a not-so-pleasant experience.
