Anyone know a good place to get a new windshield for a good price?
hi,
does anyone know by any chance where i can find a good place to get a new windshield for a good price? Mine got a crack on it, and now its all the way across my windshield. So now i need to replace it.
thanks

Depends what you call a good price. I had mine done at Safelite. It cost $345 including parts, labour and tax.
I have seen people on here get theirs swapped for as little as $150, but bear in mind that, ideally, the gasket seal around the glass should also be swapped out, and this part is $70 by itself. The cheaper quotes often don't include this. Obviously, you can re-use the old gasket althought there is risk of it leaking.
It is also worth checking with your insurace. Some providers will cover windshield repair/replacement as a freebie or with a small deductable.

this guy is awesome, he comes out in 3 hours and charges a flat $175 for a brand new windscreen (pilkington glass)
beat that price. Tell him your an i-clubber for the great price.
