Question Where's a good place that replaces windshields?

Hey does anybody know a good cheap place that can replace front windshields in the bay?

A rock flung up by a car on the highway cracked mine just recently.

check with your insurance policy. I believe AAA allows u to claim 1-2 windshields a year.

Do you know if the glass he uses has that black "tint" like strip around the edges like the oem glass?

+1 for Elmer Ramirez. Good work. However, the windshields he uses don't have the tint strip across the top like the OEM ones... they've got a light blue progressive tint that goes up a few inches. For the price, though, it's hard to beat the quality of his service/product.
