So I hopped in my car this morning and noticed this small crack on the front windshield. I don't know how it got their but I want to get it fixed before the problem gets worse.
I went to Safelite for a quote and they told me it'd be about $90-$118 to fix it out of pocket. Can I get it done cheaper somewhere else? I want to get it done by my insurance but I'm not sure.

>$90-$118 to fix
That's too high if they are just repairing the spot and not replacing the windshield. Just go drive around tomorrow afternoon until you find a windshield repair EZ up in a parking lot. Some neckbeard looking dude repaired my shitbox's windshield last week for $40

I called other places and the lowest was $65. I've never seen those windshield kiosks I've heard about.
Should I just do it myself with a $7 kit?

I wouldn't attempt it, the neckbeard told me he had to drill it out(didn't watch, was inside store getting cash). Just go to the nearest mall, there should be one of those places open, especially on a Saturday afternoon

Just fucking pay 65-118. Don't be a poorfag.

I'll keep this in mind.

That's a lot of money.

It's not cracked so I wouldn't worry about it. And unless you do rallycross, chances that it gets worse are very slim.
And Safelite AutoGlass is snake oil, they greatly exaggerate the risks to reel you in.

Not really. In car repair that's nothing.

Still. it's so small it doesn't warrant that price.

Then don't fix it poorfag

I don't like the blemish. And I don't want it to get worse.

pay less now or pay more later

65 seems reasonable. Just do it. Insurance might cover it so you can look into it, just check if it raises your payments.

If you're real desperate, go to wreckers and get a second hand panel for the same price.

Where are these sold, do they actually work?
Those "professional" kits are expensive, but really they don`t contain that much. Just a UV lamp, applicator, some injector thingy with the hardening compound in it and a razor.

You can get them at autozone and shit. They're for small chips
>>
Where do you live? In AZ most car washes have a guy there who will fix it for free and run it through your insurance since the insurance would rather pay for a chip repair instead of replacing the windshield.
Though that might only be if you have glass coverage, if not, you might be fucked.
