Default Good windshield repair shop in Kzoo area

Anyone have a recommendation for a good glass repair shop in the Kzoo area? I have a couple bullseyes I want filled with that epoxy stuff before they start to spread and ruin the windshield.

I think we have quite a few options, but I have yet to need one (knocking on wood). I think most of them will come to your work or home and fix them.

That's what I'm looking for since I work from home, but I know there are some serious hacks out there so I always try to look for recommendations. If all else fails I can get it done in Detroit when I am in town. I know some good shops there, just have no plans to be on that side of the state at this point.

Check the Belle Tire Locations in your area. They all fix windshield chips. You may have to go to Portage or Comstock. I'm not sure which location is closest to you.

I know MI has weird insurance, but have you tried your insurance company? Mine has zero deductible for windshield repairs / replacements. My wife's car had a crack and they sent someone over with a new windshield and replaced it in our driveway.

x2 on the no deductable for chip repair. Insurance had a recommended installer that came to my work and fixed it. Looks like shit/still visible, but guaranteed not to spread and it's not in a very noticeable location.

Luckily the chip is on the passenger side so I don't care too much about how it looks, my windshield looks like someone took a sandblaster to it anyways.

safelite.com super cheap. They are a 3rd party though but you can try different zip codes to get the best deal.
