Default windshield scratch

My windshield has scratches/mini pits from all the rocks and etc hitting the car. I went to a guy and he could not repair them so he said I would have to get another windshield all together and it will cost me around 600 for the replacement (OEM maybe). Does everyone think that doing this is worth it?

nope. Only if they are really bad. You know what will happen with the new glass? More nicks. I'm betting your car is a daily driver? I have a handful of little dings and nicks on my windshield, let alone my body panels. It comes with driving a car. I wouldn't worry about them unless they are obstructing your view.

I have one big scratch (which almost looks like a pit, but its not) and the reset are little dings.

If it doesnt bother you then dont worry about it. The price also seems somewhat high. I'd def shop around b4 u decide.
