I really didn't even know USAA offered that for CA-based policies. I always thought you had to just file it under comprehensive, of which you'd be subject to the deductible unlike other states like FL where it's zero out of pocket for windshield.
Not quite. They're still screwing me over on labor cost. My dealer quoted $700-something in labor but they're only paying $400-something of it because that's what Safelite would do it for.
initially, i had the same thing happen. the shop had to send an updated quote to get approved from insurance but it was all covered. just because Safelite is cheaper doesn't mean they get to not cover it.
I never posted this update. But my SA at my local dealership is amazing and he worked some numbers because he knew I was in a pinch. I ended up only paying $10 dollars additional outside of my deductible
It gets exhausting. But escalate it as high as you can. I worked my way up to a senior auditor. And he was the only one that was able to send my argument to some other team, which they would deem whether aftermarket was truly comparable to OEM. Seems like they didn’t bother doing the research because they gave the green light fairly quickly.
Glad to hear it!
I get that, but I heard those aftermarket windshields can be finicky with the safety systems. But also some of us are just more partial towards OEM. Type R windshield is clearly different than base so I’d like to maintain that.
they OEM glass on my Si seems to made in America which is weird but seems higher quality than OEM so I'm not complaining. not sure what happened but I'm happy with the outcome. they originally wanted to use some Chinese brand.
