Anyone hear of the windshield crack scam?

My hubby said I got scammed, I don't know tell me your thoughts..... I was at a place getting my car washed & oil changed. A man that worked there came up & inspected my windshield before entering the car wash. He told me there were 4 cracks in my windshield & he could fix them before the windshield got any worse & cracked in. He then said it wouldn't cost me anything that my insurance would pay 100% for this. I said ok, he got my insurance info & repaired that cracks..BTW I didn't see the cracks, I feel stupid NOT asking him not to point them all out. When I got home my hubby was MAD at me for doing this saying it was a total scam & now our insurance will go up. Has this happned to anyone ??? Was I scammed??

I don't know, but I'd call my insurance company right away and explain it to them. Maybe they are aware of a possible scam, and maybe they can refuse any charges from the situation. At any rate, don't feel stupid. We're all caught off guard sometimes, and look at things differently in retrospect.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Good luck!

Seems to me the insured would have to report any windshield damage to their insurance company. The repairs would then be authorized.
DH and I have had several rock dings fixed on our windshields. However, I report the problem first. Insurance covers this type of repair in full since it saves the cost of replacing the windshield.

Can you report this to anyone in your town? A Better Business Bureau??? Any local bulletin boards that you could post this on to let others know?

I donno.. I'm scared to mess with it now, after reading "I" could be in trouble. I won't go there again...but I will look into reporting them. I just don't want to give myself in trouble for being gullable.
