Default the windshield installers not to use in orlando, florida!

just a warning not to use lloyd's glass to replace your windshield in the orlando area. two windshields later and more than a handful of damage done to various parts of my car and it's still not right.

Ouch that freaking blows, have you tried contacting your insurance company to see if they can get them to pay up for the damages a bit quicker?

Since the insurance company is paying for it, why didn't you take it to Lexus of Orlando and have them replace it ?

Wow that sucks, our insurance company let us use them when my wife's GX needed to have the windshield replaced. I think if they didn't I would have just paid the difference and had them do it anyway.
