Personally I found Safelite more expensive around here then many other places. I'd get more then one quote.

Here in FL, windshield replacement is free but does count as a claim. Although according to Geico, it will not cause your rate to increase. Jury is still out on that.

If you have a HUD, insist on genuine GM glass.
Just went through an issue with non-GM glass on my HUD-equipped Acadia. Image was distorted. Owner of glass company even agreed with me. Car was a CPO from a dealer that paid to replace the glass (they couldn't sell it CPO with a broken windshield), so I insisted on GM glass after the first replacement had the distortion.

in AAA you can change deductible just for glass. For me 500 ded vs 0 ded was almost nothing. Like 10 bucks for a half a year more.

Had one replaced in my Mercedes last year at Safelite in Nashville at their physical location. Was not a good experience. If you're in Smyrna, Tennessee, I'd call Lawrence Glass or Jack Morris in Nashville.

If your deductible keeps you from making a claim, you need to lower it. A comp claim won't affect your semi-annual rate.

Had a cracked windshield a few years back here in Jersey and went through insurance. Come to find out recently from the insurance co. that it counted as a claim. So I guess it depends where you live. The glass the insurance payed for seemed half as thick as OEM. Next time I’ll just pay for it myself and get the OEM.
