Howdy folks...
Man what a time I have had getting a front windshield replaced in my truck. I first went to the national company Safelite and scheduled the install on their web form. Well it looked like all was set for 192 + 27 for a new rubber I would have a new front windshield first thing in the morning. They were going to show up at my home. I was very happy. Well these dudes called me that next day and told me that it would take 2 men to install this front windshield and that I would need to bring it in to get that thing installed. Well at the time.. I could not get off work that day to run the truck the 40 mile trip it took to get the windshield installed. So, I decided to call a local body shop and the guy told me he could install it just give him a day ahead and he would be able to install it the next day. for 185. That would be even better but I would still have to haul it 15 miles or so. Well I thought that would be ok. Well I take my beloved truck down to his shop after confirming yesterday that he could install it. So I get there early this morning and unload my beloved truck at the shop. "beloved tuck" (you know the one that I have been working on sense 1991).... Well she sits out there all day in front of the place and most of the time no one was around. If anyone had thought my truck was cool and wanted it for your self today was your lucky day... After I went back by at 3:20 day and it was still not done, I loaded the tuck up and took it home.....
So that was the only folks I know.. So back to Safelite... Well called them today talk to someone at the 800 number and got it all setup again to come out to my home and replace the glass. I told the guy there must be some deal because last time the local folks said it was a 2 man job and took all day. He said that is not a 2 man job and there should not be any problems doing that at your home. He called and confirmed that it could be done here at my home once again... I am like great maybe it was just a fluke the first time around. He said someone would call and confirm my info and if I did not hear from them for me to call them. So no one called me back so I call back into and then get in touch with the local folks (40 miles away).. Not really local... Now I talk to this person and they tell me that there is a 200 crate charge and then some other 200 shipping charge. I am like the website said 192 and then the guy on the phone said 192.. How could that be? Oh yeah.. now it takes 3 men to install one.. So not it is 200 + 200 + 192? She was going to verify and call me back... Never called me back.. I am guessing they won't... I am always really nice and sweet to people...
So that is unreal what I am going through dealing with these folks.... So now I figure I can just install the windshield myself. Surely if it takes 3 of those men, me and my 6 year old son can install it. My dad and I installed the old one that I took out as well as installed the one in his 60.
Do you guy have any experience with getting glass from LMC, Classic Parts etc....?
Looks like I am out of options here.... Got any suggestions on getting this done? I have lost a day today dealing with folks that really do not want do help.
