Repairing/Replacing Windshield

[Worldwide Beagle]

Fancying myself as a handyman even though my day job is in teaching patient care, I'd be interested in the links to your list of ingredients.

I will work something up. It's easy and you really cannot hurt anything.

Alright, just spoke with the local collision center, ball park estimate is $4500 for parts and labor of a metal roof windshield replacement. A lot higher than I imagined!

Lucid did mine in April for $2500.

That sounds right...$4500 is highway robbery

Authorized body shop wanted $4500. They were not nearby. Neither was Lucid SC but at least the LIRR and NICE bus can get me there. Even $2500 is too high for a metal roofed car.

Ya at that price, im almost willing to just not replace it since it is just upper passenger side and I've already did some manual patching to stabilize the crack. I wonder if the lease return wear and tear charge will be lower than this crazy repair shop estimate.

Is taking it to a Lucid SC out of the question?

Unfortunately I am in the Denver area so the closest is Scottsdale and that is still a 13 hour drive. Maybe if I wait it out, they'd build a service center in Denver

I am guessing that the approved shop is the one where are Lucid service guys hang out, Nylund's Collision Center?

And I have not heard a word in ages about the alleged Denver center.

Yes sir, Nylund's gave me the quote. I learned that the service center and the body shop are disjoint entities so I have to deal with them each independently.

The Lucid guys operate out of a tiny stall way in the back. I would find it depressing to work there, especially after seeing all the new gleaming state of the art Lucid Service Centers around the country. There is absolutely nothing gleaming at Nylund's. Thankfully, our guys are great!

I had never heard about Nylund's before my Lucid, from anyone in Denver. It specializes in Lexus.
