Lynchburg, VA recs for college son

[Dianne-TX]

My son is a student at Liberty Univ in Lynchburg, VA. He needs to get his windshield replaced. Safelite is more than we’d like to spend. Does anyone have a good, affordable rec for windshield replacement companies there?  We’d like to spend no more than 150-200 at most. Thanks.

This is a non-answer answer, but are you sure your insurance doesn't cover windshield replacement? We've had quite a few done over the years and the insurance has always paid for them.

I wish.  We have to pay deductible first and then they'll cover it.  Deductible is higher than paying for replacement ourselves.

Have him ask professors? Staff?

Yes, there are likely reddit or facebook boards for the college he'd get some good local perspective.

I’d call your insurance and see where they would have sent you.

My brother recommends Smitty's Auto Glass in Amherst.  Friend from childhood and one other person recommend Apple Auto Glass on Allegheny ave in Lynchburg.

Wholesale Auto Glass on Crowell Ln off Timberlake Rd. is where the people I trust send people to. 

They also said Safelite advertises something about insurance paying all they charge.  There's something here in Texas that makes that happen with hail damage repair, too.  People don't pay their deductible for that.  Worth checking into.

 

Thank you.  I'm having him call Wholesale tomorrow.  I'll add Smitty's too.  I had him call Apple and Lynchburg Auto Glass (I think that was it).  He called Safelite first.  So far, the prices are 300, 298, 259.  I'm hoping Wholesale, and now Smitty's, can beat those.  Thank you, again!

I'm in Texas and had to pay for my last windshield replacement. So it must depend on what kind of auto insurance you have (And we do not have liability only)
