who's the krinkov/vincent of windshield replacement?

as jeremy:clearbra and vincent:tint...

I ask this because i've searched high and low and havent been able to find the hands down "go to" guy for getting my windshield replaced. live in danville, and work in fremont, so either of those areas i can go to. my deductible is 500 bucks, so im looking to spend less than 200 on a quality job.

I posted in an old thread, but got no response, so if anyone can help me out thatd be great. called premier auto glass as was recommended in the other thread and it was like 900+ for oem glass. that hurt my ears.

thanks for the help fellas.

I got a nice 4" crack going on the passenger side as well after the Mt. Hammy drive. No complaints here as I also tossed up my share of rocks. Maybe we can get a group deal on the windshields

Premier auto glass, they did a group buy for i-club a while back and honored that price when i mentioned it to them a while afterwards. I got charged 175, after months and many rocks, the windshield is still going strong. They are located off of o'toole.

does anyone know of a shop that will do it correctly, though?

are these shops reputable? none of the windshield replacements I've had done have been done well; they have all resulted in whistles and increased wind noise.

hey sjscooby, can you provide the number to premier auto glass? because from your other post, i googled them, and the mexican lady that answered quoted me 900+ for replacement, and from how mexican she sounded, i didnt want to even try mentioning i-club. but i really do need to get mine replaced soon, the crack is inching toward the left and getting longer every day
