Car repair from the Ice storm of 1998

I interviewed Paul Guay who I first asked about were he worked and he told me that “I works at a local car dealer as a Manager In the Service Department”. When I asked him about what kind of damage was done to the car he said “the damage done to the cars included Ice build up and broken windshields”. I also asked him how much people would pay for damages and his answer was “people would pay $200 to $500 for repairs”. Then I asked him how long would it take to repair the cars and his answer was “It would take a few days to repair because It would take a while to get brand new windshields”. When I asked my final question which is was this the worst ice storm to hit Maine and he said ‘to Paul Guay this was the worst of any ice Storm that has hit Maine because It was hard to repair the so many cars once”.
