I recently returned home from a family reunion to find a bullet had made its way through the rear…read morewindow of my 1990 truck, shattering it before ultimately coming to rest in the back seat. I was shocked when the police officer who I filed a report with matter-of-factly told me that the bullet probably came from Detroit - more than a half mile south of my home. He hypothesized that someone had decided to shoot their 45-caliber handgun into the air. "What comes up must come down," he said. Nice, I thought. Even better was the fact that my insurance company would not cover this. I called around to several glass shops in the area. The model of my truck is not common in these parts, and compounded by its age, I was told by all shops that a special order would have to be made which would ultimately end up costing more than a decent fraction of the value of my truck. I was fortunate enough to channel my inner hillbilly and find a suitable rear window at a junk yard in Detroit. Side note: I 'spose I've finally earned my Detroit pass after driving to a junk yard with a bullet hole in my window. Being the complete criminal scam that car insurance is, my company would not cover it so I was in the game for the cheapest, quickest fix I could find. When I told the guys at Ferndale City Glass that I'd found a replacement window, they told me to bring it in and they'd install it for $65. The bottom of the replacement junk yard window was rusted out and they were actually able to salvage certain parts from the original window to make it all work better than new - in less than an hour. I was beyond impressed. So all said and done, my surprise lesson in trajectory and gravity only ended up costing me about $165 rather than more than $300 which is what I was expecting based on quotes I had received. This a great family owned business which has been in the area for more than half a century. They know what they are doing. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs glass repair done in the Ferndale area.

I received a few quotes with varying prices and couldn't decide, therefore I also did a Google search of reviews of the various places to help me make my decision of where to take my vehicle. GP, which is 45 mins away from my home, and an hour in traffic from my work, quoted me a flat rate with parts and labor included, which was $20 more than a shop in my neighborhood. The removal and install was fast, and the gentleman was very professional. My bill was actually $20 more than the flat rate quoted. Therefore, I ended up paying $40 more than I would have paid had I gone to a local shop, 1hour 45 mins driving, and a 1/4 tank of gas. Pricey lesson learned. However, I'm grateful that my windshield is fixed before winter. I recommend this location for folks who live in the area. It's clean with a comfortable waiting room. Also, if you're low in cash, make sure you know that "flat rate" doesn't mean the same to everyone. Use the Project tool to receive quotes, etc, but do extra homework and know exactly how much a service will cost you in exact pricing, considering your travel (gas) expenses, and time when comparing.

I had asked them to do an alignment on it because it wasn't steering properly and it's a brand new car with under 5k miles so I obviously wanted it straightened out. They said they would look at it and get it fixed up. I dropped it off on a Monday morning and on Friday they were calling me telling me the car was still missing a piece but they wanted me to pick it up anyway (yeah I'm not picking up an incomplete car just to fit their time quotas). They suddenly had the back ordered part it was missing a few minutes later and were able to complete it so I went and picked it up that Friday. The alignment was still off from first driving it away but I decided to have my dealership fix it when i went in for an oil change a few weeks later figuring they'd do a better job anyway. At the dealer I was told that my car still had a bent axel arm from the accident, something that them running an alignment immediately told them. So my question is did Minsers completely miss the $1700 of damage this was or did they find it and decide it wasn't important enough to fix (I'm not sure which is worse). I then called my insurance company and they told me I had to take my car back to Minsers despite my objections. I took the car back the day after the dealer found the damage and was told they would get it fixed up. After I had dropped it off I got a call from them informing me there were allegedly scratches on my wheel insinuating I had further damaged the vehicle not related to the accident. I'm not sure what was going on with that or what they were trying to pull but I obviously had not damaged my vehicle and the call ended with that. I got my car back today and it appears to be fixed and driving like new again which I appreciate (and expect). I looked at all of my wheels and there are no scratches to be found which is interesting to me as there we're supposed "fresh" scratches on a wheel. All in all yes my car is now fixed after bringing it to them twice. They seemed to use genuine GM parts which is also a positive. Although I felt as if they were trying to take advantage of me and possibly scam me due to me being a young woman and not knowledgeable about cars. Pictures to show that the damage wasn't even that extreme.
