As it is very cold outside in Chicago, can somebody recommend a shop either downtown, on the north side or in the western suburbs that I can drive to for the repair to be completed inside?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As you've probably guessed from the subject, I need a new windshield for my '99 C4. State farm will cover the repair at one of their approved facilities past the $100 deductible. (They assured me that my rates would not go up and I would not lose any discounts). As it is very cold outside in Chicago, can somebody recommend a shop either downtown, on the north side or in the western suburbs that I can drive to for the repair to be completed inside? Thanks, Jeff

POST 3Original post

+ 1 for O'Hare Autobody. When I lived there they fixed a windshield replacement that Safelite screwed up. Chris

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you VERY much. There are so many shops in the city I didn't know where to start. I will contact them today. Jeff

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It turns out that O'Hare Auto Body does not do glass work in house. They referred me to International Auto Glass in Naperville.

CAll Tom Simmons at Midwest Performance Cars on Lake Street. He is just west of the loop on Lake St. [phone removed]. Monte Mann

POST 7Original post

well i dont know how picky you are but if i needed a window replaced i would just take it to the places i have always gone to since i started driving (i was born in the city and have lived in the city my entire life) trying calling: Fernandez auto class (on western and diversey) Arron's Auto Glass and area auto glass all on the northside, used them all, and these are the ones that seem to have all the glass in stock. just sent a buddy with an M3 to fernandez to replace a sidewindow and it was only 135 installed

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for your help everyone. I ended up going with Fernandez Glass as they are only five miles or so from my condo and are on the State Farm approved list. The did a nice install of Sekurit glass for $652 including the deductible. It's amazing how clear a new windshield is! -Jeff

POST 9Original post

NICE! see, its not the most prettest place but they get the job done and there is a burger king or fatt *****'s (rib shack) around the corner while you wait. maybe ill see you around in the summer.

POST 10Original post

Is $650 normal? My windshield is getting pretty old and pitted, and it might be nice to change it soon.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There are a few good windshield threads I found when searching. They discuss not only price, but also different brands of glass, etc. I seem to remember people quoting numbers in the 600-800 range. I am still amazed at how clear it is! My old windshild had 73,000 miles of pits and wear as well. Good luck!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yesterday I replaced my SECOND windshield this year. As you can see from the above thread the last one was on State Farm. This one was completely out of pocket, so I decided to give Safelite a try as they were the lowest price. They replaced it at their shop in downtown Chicago the day after I called for $402.00. The installation was flawless and they used Sekurit glass. The reason for this post is simply that I wanted to relay a positive review of Safelite's work.
