Huh, I guess you lucked out.

Nope didn’t change my premium at all. GEICO has a windshield glass program so I did the claim through them first. If they were able to fix the crack it would have been free but it was too big so I needed a whole new windshield, and I only paid the $50 deductible

I thought so.

My parents have Amica and they told us it would be cheaper in the long run to pay out of pocket for a replacement than to file a claim since it’ll be on their records and will just cost more every year for a reason they couldn’t even control.

I had the windshield repaired by Safelite on my 2017 Wrangler back in 2018 through insurance, it was dime size puck mark, and when I went to change insurance companies last year it was listed as a claim and raised my premium everywhere I was quoted. Had I known that I would have just paid out of pocket for it.

Doesn’t that usually spike your premium though?

My dad had a dented bumper and was told if he filed through insurance, his premium would go up regardless of whether there was another party involved. Same with the windshield on our other car.

Yes I'll say Sandy Motors, it's been 6 years since I bought a SUV there and aside from oil changes, one head light... Good people great deal 🤝

>Maybe this is just trolling.

More likely a bot.

Most tires these days are considered all-weather. Hopefully you have all wheel drive or 4wd? If not stay put til the roads have been cleared. Most people just shovel or snow-blow their driveways. You can buy sand or salt for steps at Home Depot or Job Lot. Hiring a plow isn't that expensive either so you can get on a list. As for hills to sled on that depends on where you live? I warwick Kids go to Gorton School or Toll Gate High School. Fun hills at both.

It's weird we haven't had a big storm yet. I'm ready! Welcome!

The sizes and species are sort of a grab bag and varies from visit to visit, but builders surplus has some good size rough sawn hardwood boards for pretty cheap compared to other spots.

Thanks for reply.

No guarantees but check out L Sweet in Providence. If they can't help you themselves they have been pretty good with referral for me at least.

In the last apartment we lived in, snow removal was covered. In reality, my husband and son would got shovel our sidewalk and driveway bc our landlord worked full time and wouldn't make it before dinner time.

Do you play Fortnite ? 😂

I had a Buick windshield replaced in Ashaway for under $400. Wayne Glassworks.

I think most people outside of New England are generally unaware of the weather differences between inland and northern New England vs coastal Southern New England.

Yeah I've had Navy Federal since I was a little kid and they get a discount through Geico.

I really don't know what happened to USAA. They were the only insurance company that would insure me as an 18 year old stationed in Germany with a brand new car. As time went on they just become more difficult to work with, their car buying service really sucked as it was more expensive to shop through them than to actually walk on the lot. Also their insurance kept creeping up year after year and their customer service sucked.

What happened to them? They used to be good but they absolutely suck now. I still have them but I'm honestly thinking about switching over to Navy Federal (who I think offers GEICO)?

Also going to recommend Patriot Auto Glass. We've used them twice in the past ten years (different vehicles). They're very reasonably priced, friendly, and they will come to replace your windshield at work if you need them to!

Gassing it isn't always great since if it's snow, it'd cause the surface area to flatten and cause less friction. I did this once and slid backwards and hit the curb. A neighbor who helped me off the curb said it's best to go slow and turn your wheel in a wide zigzap pattern heading upward. Which did help me get up the hill.

As for if it's all ice and no friction at all, I think you can try cat litter on the surface. But if you have none, if you do have rock salt, I'd try that too but that's a lot of surface for you to cover.

Just had a windshield replaced at Patriot Auto Glass in West Warwick on a full size van for $230. Done in 2 hrs.

I’ll admit, my ‘07 Accord is not very fancy

Strive?
