How long will it take for my insurance company to fix my windshield?
Does it take a long time to get a windshield fixed? I was on the highway a few months back and a rock chipped my windshield. It didn't look like a big deal at the time, but now it’s a giant crack! I don't want to get a ticket, but I don't have time for my car to sit at a body shop for days either.

Your claims agent will let you know if you have a deductible that you have to pay—but full glass coverage is often available, which means no out-of-pocket expense for you.However, if you’re not satisfied with your current provider, you may want to consider switching.
