Windshield repair
Hello All,
This is part of the thread I started on the paint chip repair. Given that my windshield was damaged, I need to find a place to repair it. Given that I have Allstate insurance they are pushing me toward Safelite. I used them in the past and the last vehicle there was quite a bit of wind noise afterwards. They told me that I was just looking for it now that a repair had taken place. Also the rain sensor cover never fit correctly again.
I was thinking of taking it to the dealership. They told me that they have someone come in who does all of their cars. I am thinking that maybe they would be well tuned for repairing Mercedes windshields. Also they would only use OEM glass which is something I wanted. I am thinking that I could hold the dealership more accountable than some glass company.
What would you guys do? Go with the dealership or a glass company.
BTW I live near Ann Arbor if that helps with any recommendations.

The insurance cut me a check for $950 which is supposed to cover the windshield replacement and entire repaint of the hood. I hope it is enough for the windshield since I will try to touch up the hood myself.
