What should I do today if my windshield cracked from a rock?
Check your auto insurance policy before paying cash. Florida law says that if your policy includes comprehensive coverage, the windshield can be replaced without a deductible. Also check that your wipers are in good working condition before the replacement.
Can I choose a Spanish-speaking mobile technician in Town 'n' Country?
Ask the pro directly whether a Spanish-speaking technician is available for mobile service at your home. Florida law does not allow your insurer to require you to use a particular company or location for replacement. You can choose the provider you prefer.
What should I check when hiring or switching providers?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work begins. Confirm the replacement glass meets federal safety standards for glazing material on vehicles driven on public roads. Get the coverage details and any limit of liability in writing in your quote.
Why does hail or storm damage matter for a cracked windshield?
