Windshield replacement

[Rb8760]

I went to Safelite to have an OEM windshield replaced in my 2023 Telluride and I received the receipt where they charged my insurance company $2,260.25 How in the hell can they get away with charging so much, no wonder insurance premiums keep going up and up. Windshield replacements are "Free" if you have full coverage but someone has to pay for this excessive charge. Check around and get quotes before you just go to Safelite to have them replace your glass

i Am sure your insurance company has a list of companies it uses for glass replacement.

I'm sure they do, I just think $2,260 is excessive. I didn't have to pay for the unreasonable cost but we all end up paying more b/c of increased insurance costs

You didn’t contact your insurance company before the replacement?

Regarding the high cost of windshield replacement. It is important to do more research and compare prices from different service centers or auto glass shops before making a decision. This will help you get a more objective view of market prices and choose the best deal. It's also worth checking with your insurance company to find out what services and costs they cover to avoid unexpected costs.

Why isn’t Kia covering this as it’s a known default of the windshield. I have a 2024 and it sounded like a gun went off in the car while I was driving down the interstate. It instantly cracked, coming down from the top and then around the review mirror. No rock chips or anything.
