Thumbs up Cracked windshield

My windshield was cracked today while driving on 826.

Who should I call to get the windshield replaced?

Thanks for the suggestions,
Vic

Depends how bad but you might get a citation from a cop who's had a bad day. Go to Charlies Auto Glass on 67 Ave and SW 8 st.

Call your insurance company. Front windshields are replaced for free in the State of Florida.

And, as Dario said, you can get a citation for a cracked windshield.

Mine was hit with a rock on 95 from a dump truck with an unsecure load of gravel and cracked from dash to rearview. I have out of state tags and insurance, so the florida free windshield fix didn't apply to me. I had it replaced at Pompano Honda, glass + molding was $515 + the install was $150, so its pretty close to $700 if you go to Pompano Honda.

Thanks Di.

Dumb question: Will this raise my rate if I call?

It's not supposed to raise your rate.
