Got a call from Safelite on Tuesday. The rep told me what others have said on here about the OEM glass being on back-order and he canceled my 7/2/21 appointment.
I got another call just now from Safelite. A different rep told me the OEM ram's head logo glass was available and she scheduled me for 7/16/21.
Something tells me that I'll get another call at the beginning of the install week to tell me it's canceled, becuase the glass is back-ordered.
Good points about Safelite. We just replaced the windshield on my wife's car at a local shop. Talked to the owner and he LOVES Safelite...because they train their workforce really well and then treat 'em like ****, so they are happy to come work for him and make better money with lesser hours.Hello gents. Owner of a local glass shop and have been doing glass since 99’ here. If you can get your hands on Pilkington glass is just as good as OEM if not better and might be easier to source. Also I would NOT use safelite. They are a corporation with a usually decently ran back office with a blue collar work force of installers they treat like garbage. Hence why they can book jobs and make promises all day long but have a rash of terrible installs. Ask me how I know! Hope that helps!

With my insurance it carries the same guarantee as long as the repair company is approved by the insurance company. So even though safelite is the primary one there are local ones who are approved as well I just had to ask about them.Good points about Safelite.

In my situation, I was caught out of town by 500+ miles and had a rock shatter my windshield. Normally I'm wary of large corporate repair companies and would stay local. However, my thinking was that in case I did have a bad install that Safelite is the safe bet for when I got home. Going local is certainly no guarantee of a good install, so this seemed to be the safer bet. That was my thinking...curious what yours would be given your knowledge if you found yourself in a similar situation.
Good point... I'd never even considered that.With my insurance it carries the same guarantee as long as the repair company is approved by the insurance company. So even though safelite is the primary one there are local ones who are approved as well I just had to ask about them.
How much are they charging you?Safelite is in the driveway right now replacing my windshield with OEM Ram's head logo glass. The technician seems to have done plenty of these before from what I watched him do before leaving him to his work. Fingers crossed, but I am optimistic it will be done right. I have used Safelite before on my F150 and it was done perfectly.
