I replaced my windshield in November by a glass shop called "Rapid Auto Glass" in coquitlam near the Ikea.

Basically it went something like this:

Drove to them and went inside, told them i wanted to replace my windshield and i wanted to go thru ICBC. Gave them my insurance papers and filled out a form. They really don't care whether or not the crack is due to a flying rock on a highway, they just want a date when the crack happened. They did not even go outside to examine my windshield. You can bullshit the "Date of Loss", I wrote down the first month and date that popped in my head. Dropped off my keys, they gave me a courtesy car, and I went home. Went back to them the day after at noon and my car was done. They used OEM glass too. (which Speedy does not)

All in all, I did not need to personally deal with ICBC, they do that for you. And I got a new windshield installed within 24 hours.

All I had to pay was $200. The invoice they gave to ICBC was over $1000.

(They do interior cleaning of the dash and give you a set of new wipers too)
