Question Window replacement/repair suggestions?

Well I did a search, and PM'ed some people about window repair and they all just recommended me to post up on the forums to get better information. Anyone have a reputable window repair shop in mind? I have a HUGE crack that started from a rock chip, but has gotten bigger every 3-4 days and now it's more then half the window shields width. (Trucks on 680 suck btw). So I was lookin' for a good shop who can replace my front window. My dad has his replaced for about $150ish, but he said they can go a lot lower and to shop around.

So I'm askin' you guys if you have an idea where a good quality window shop is and how long it takes to replace =).

I dunno about a lot lower than $150. Ideally you should replace the gasket around the window at the same time to ensure that it doesn't leak. This part alone is $70. You can re-use the gasket, but there are no guarantees of a good seal. What car does your dad have? It is probably cheaper depending on make/model.

I got mine done by Safelite and it was around $340 OTD. for glass, gasket, labour and tax.

Check with your insurance to see if you have "glass" coverage and what that means. With my insurance, I have a $100 deductible on any glass replacement.
