I just had a stone hit my screen this morning, got straight onto the phone with the insurance and by the time I was home there was a guy from Auto-glass waiting for me, fixed it in 20mins. No money. Job done  :happy2:

Windscreens give a lot of structure to a car, well worth getting any craps/chips repaired.

I had mine done recently - excess seem to go from £50 - £75, mine was £60.
