Evening all,
Due to 3 large chips on my windscreen
, along with what can only be described as thousands of tiny ones, along with the previous owners wrecking the rear screen by not changing the wiper blade resulting in some VERY heavy scratching
, I decided to get some prices on changing my front and rear screens....
Front will be covered by Insurance (£70 excess) but thought I would get prices anyway....
Autowindscreens quoted me £156.88 inc VAT and fitting for the rear and £152.04 for the front which I thought was reasonable, but thought I would check Autoglass as well for a comparison....
HOLY CRAP!
After telling me that they wouldn't cover it under my insurance as Admiral have removed them from their approved supplier list, they then quoted me £1100 for both.......... WTF!!!!!!
Even after telling them their main competitor was £800 cheaper they then said the best price they could do was £800.....
I wonder how much longer they will be running their catchy TV ads at this rate, because clearly they have been ripping the **** out of insurance companies and subsequently you and me, hence why most of them seem to have ditched them....
I'm still in a state of shock now, although I am booked in with Auto windscreens for next month... just need to source that B7 rear wiper motor and arm now in preparation....
