Not sure if this is the right section, I think so hah.
Last night while driving around I finally experience one of the major defaults of VW vehicles under the year 2002 (I believe). As I was driving my friend tried to roll down his window, then all of a sudden it just dropped right down into the door... and this was when it was freezing cold out. Was kinda pissed because I knew that most places would be closed on Sundays and probably booked on Saturdays.
Called about 10-15 places this morning, and the only one that was willing to do the repair was 5 Star Auto Glass. Did my reasearch, had 5/5 ratings. So I decided I would go with them.
I had to get the Repair Kit from VW since it's Saturday, and they can't get it delivered. But that was only about 500M down Macleod.
VW quoted me $300-$350 for the install, so I was expecting to pay about $150 at the shop. The repair kit itself was $91.00.
Went over to their shop around 11, and I was out within 40 minutes.
They did an amazing job. After about 20 minutes I heard a vacumne turn on, which I thought was maybe for the other vehicle in the back.
But no, I go outside once he drove my car out front, and I look inside... and it was a huge difference.
Most of the interior was vacumned, the whole dash was wiped down. Nothing I'd expect when going to get a simple repair.
They charged me $100, and theres no way I'm going to argue with that. Way cheaper than the dealership, and multiple other shops I got quotes from. I also got a free air freshner, and a grippy dash thing that I could use for pretty much anything.
Would highly recommend them, I was very happy that I took a 45 minute drive out to Calgary with one window down in the -10 weather haha.
