Emergency: Driver's side window

Post by Supplanter »

My car was broken into last night and they smashed the driver's side window. I have had a quote from a windscreen replacement place for a new one installed for $700... plus the 2 week wait as it makes its way from Japan.

Do you peeps know of any windscreen repair places that would have some in stock (originals, copies, I don't care). Or perhaps some wrecker's in Melbourne that I could source a second hand one from?

mine was smashed about three years ago... I think I only paid $200 maybe a tad more? from a wrecker in ringwood. Installation was apparently quite annoying for some reason!
