How long does it take to replace a car window?

A few days ago, one of my car windows broke. I’ve had a bag in the window since then but it’s really ugly and I feel that my car isn’t very safe. I want to get the window fixed, but I work every day this week. How long does it take to replace a car window?

I’m sorry to hear that your window is broken, but getting it fixed is always the best course of action. Generally, it will take less than an hour to get your car window replaced.
All you need to do is call ahead and make an appointment. You shouldn’t have to take a full day off of work or anything—so no worries there!
If the broken window was the result of a collision, vandalism, or unforeseen weather conditions, your car insurance policy may cover the cost of the repair. This would fall under your
collision coverage
or
comprehensive coverage
. If you do not have either of these
types of coverage
, shop for a new policy with the
Jerry
app.
The savings keep coming even after Jerry finds you great insurance at the lowest price. Before every policy renewal period, you’ll be presented with new competitive quotes, which means you’ll always have the best coverage at the best price. If you want to switch policies, that’s fine! Jerry can help cancel your old policy.
