Windshield Replacement Seattle Area

Coming back from WSU Mom's weekend Sunday we got clobbered by a rock or something that flew up from the truck in the next lane over. It had to be a 100MPH plus hit with our 70MPH speed and the speed of the debris. Completely disintegrated the outer layer of glass leaving only the plastic middle layer in a hardball sized area. First real damage to the 2010 MINI.

Researched where to go Sunday night Called All-Star Auto Glass early Monday.
All-Star called the insurance, picked up the OEM glass at NW MINI in Tacoma and had it installed in my driveway Tuesday afternoon. Could not be happier with the whole deal. $800 windshield installed for my $100 deductable and got them to fix a chip on my truck at the same time. Can't tell either vehicle was ever damaged. * PRICELESS *

Feel very lucky - that hit right at the driver. Maybe it wasn't bad Karma at all, maybe it was good karma from when we gassed up in Pullman at Chevron that morning and stopped to knock on the window of a car about to go thru the carwash with it's gas cap dangling...... That could have been paint damage and water in the gas tank.
