Does Florida law protect me on repair estimates?

Does car insurance cover power window motor repair in Tampa?

Florida Statute 627.7291 says no insurer or related party can require you to use a particular company for glass replacement or repair. Drivers with comprehensive coverage do not pay a deductible for windshield replacement in Florida, per the Florida Bar. Motor repairs are a separate matter - ask your insurer what your policy covers.
