Need Help? Car Broken into!!
Hi,
Some idiot broke into my car on Christmas day
The Driver side window was smashed and the leather in my front seat is all scratched up. I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough quote on how much the window would cost. I have a $500 deductible so was wondering if it is even worth it to claim it on my insurance or just to pay it out of my own pocket.
Thanks

Here's an update! So i was going to pay it out of pocket, the $500 for the deductible but the window needed the rotor or something like that replaced also. When i got the estimate back my jaw almost dropped, it cost just under $3,800 for the broken window and to get the leather fixed. Geico wasn't happy about it so they made me bring the car to their inspector and he agreed on the cost. Lucky i have insurance 
FYI: I have the IWC so not sure if that was why the leather to get fixed was more but they had to order it from Germany.

I just looked at the quote and if i'm reading it correctly they are replacing the whole leather on the drivers side door because there are some deep cuts in it and I'm assuming they can't just fix it. They are small but there are a lot of them on the door. Crazy!!
Glad i'm not paying out of pocket for it
