The front bumper on Ol Paint looks like it has been sandblasted.

Be careful who you choose if your looking to pay cash / no insurance involvement and you don't like the price. Glen had a repair spot look as his car, didn't think he'd wanna spend that much, sales push was they'd to report non repair to his ins co as him driving with a dangerous windshield. He posted up about the experience some time back.

^^ , My new van was hit, big chip , figured I'd ask for some help, someone recommended Apple Auto Glass,, so I went , idiot there says it covered by insurance, wrong only if you have zero deductible ! well who in the F' has Zero , no one I know , anyways long story short , insurance co already notified, they don't want me driving around with what is considered a damaged windshield, now needs to be fixed by and authorized glass co, before I can drive it again, well you guessed it, Apple charged me $125 for a drop of goop, and if it didn't work they would replace the windshield and take off the $125, because my deductible was $1000. insurance was not involved except that I now have a claim but no payment, on file, & BTW ~ Apple wanted $980 to replace the windshield ! glass guy I know would do it for just over $400 with OEM glass, & BTW ~ Speedy Auto Glass & Apple Auto Glass and a few of the others are all the same co ! my recommendation is go to the guys that site in the parking lot, around can tire etc, around $40 -60 for a chip no ins BS and it is not right , throw a rock at it (say u saw a kid running after u heard something ) and then call your ins, claim it under comprehensive, no deductible , etc !

U may have no deductible , but frequency of claims adds up in a hurry, chip her, a ding there, get a small rear ended, regardless who is at fault , in the end its your fault , cause you were there !

Shitty Steve, hopes they can seal up the chip.

I just used a mobile guy on my pick up to replace , it turned out ok for the price . It had a minor scratch on the passenger side , he offered to replace again or take it at a discount, as it's not in my view I took the discount $190 bucks I think was fair .
I have also had a stone chip fixed and it lasted but you can still tell where the chip was , mine ended up cracking somewhere else.

The whole business is full or robber's and honestly I think MAFIA, I will only ever use an independant, I have a guy that did the t bird seal, several other members have used him, and only good things to say, comes to your home ! nice guy & likes cash !

I got one last year on my car.. It was repaired but I still see the damage... But for 130km of driving a day that's not bad...
