Windshield Repair or Replace?

[HummerMann]

Got the windshield replaced by American Patriot and I'm very happy with it.
They came to the house and did the whole job in an hour and a half. I'm glad you recommended replacing over crack fixing. The entire bill was 415 dollars and insurance paid 315 of that. I found out that my auto policy has a 100 out-of-pocket glass replacement clause (I guess this is pretty common) even though it's 1500 deductible with USAA.

After I had mine for about 3 months, I got what seemed like a load of buckshot on the passenger side going down the interstate. Called my insurance agent, who gave me the name of a local place. Called them, told them she told me to call them, and then they asked if I wanted to pay cash or submit the claim. I asked how much for cash - they said $225. Had it replaced the next day - no problem at all.
