By "fixed" you must mean they filled in the crack with that goop.

I had a *new windshield installed* two years ago, was done in my
driveway. I have full glass coverage with my auto policy (no
deductible). If I had to pay for the windshield and labor it would
have cost close to $600. There is no way you had a new windshield
installed for that price... a new windshield alone costs like twice
$200 and what about labor/travel... perhaps that $200 is your
deductible.

Your insurance company will find you an auto glass shop close to home
where you can make an appointment to have your windshield replaced
while you wait. When one has glass coverage on their auto policy
(most do) the insurance company negotiates the price so you never know
the actual cost... you pay the deductible only if there one.
