1k for brakes?

Here's a challenge:

do your own brakes. It may seem daunting, but there are 100 DIYs, and the funny think about car work is that once you get just a few things under your belt, you will all of a sudden be free of that paralyzing trap of "I know I am getting screwed, but I have no choice"

Finally, talk to the best glass shop in town, explain the situation- tell them the options you have and you want two prices: best out of pocket with OEM, and best out of pocket with OE. Often times they can lower the deductible-

Remember, YOU don't car what the overall price is! All you care is your part...if the shop looks at it and says 'we can make a case for OE with his rain sensor (actually more common it is that there is no OEM glass made for that model yet) then they might be able to get the insurance to cover an 1100 bill...and maybe they are making enough at that price to turn around and say "we can drop your deductible to $650"

And you should know that you need the glass, trim kit, install kit.
