Alright guys looking for a local place does good work for replacing windows. Not my car but my brothers got broken into and he needs to find a good place that is also cheap. not windshield replacement, but drivers side window.

TIA

 

my wife found ABC Glass in the phonebook and they were very prompt on repairing chips in her windshield...they came to her work and did it while she was there...good work, good price...was free for us IIRC...bill went to the insurance co.
i believe they're in ED County.

 

Try this guy 223-9914. He did a good job on my friend's supra not to long ago (replaced all 4 windows).

 

I'm still wondering if someone has had an 05 windshield replaced that was like the OEM 05 windshield (dot matrix stuff above mirror and no funky faded tint strip).

 

There is an auto glass shop in Davis that did an OEM windshield replacement for my '03 WRX last summer. I didn't like the generic Chinese aftermarket glass... the tint is more green than OEM and the black trim, like you said, isn't as nice. The shop got the windshield directly from Subaru.

Find out if your insurance company will spring for the OEM replacement. The Subie glass costs about $400 more than the generic. State Farm OK'd the OEM replacement.

If you're interested, I'll post the name and phone number of the Davis place here after I get home this afternoon.

 

The guy I mentioned above did 2 windshields for me yesterday. Both cars had cracks in windshields for a while. Did a nice job in about an hour. Clean and clear, no scratches. I asked him about driver’s side window, he said he does replacement on both driver and passenger sides besides the front and back windshields. Also, you can ask him to check if he can get you a quote for a specific brand. He said if they make it for the car, he could get it.

 

It's Speedy Glass in Davis, 965 Olive Drive 530 756 2000

Speedy is a chain outfit, but they did fine work. "For a location nearest you call 888 773 3398." They do mobile work and 24/7, too.

 

 

great.. well theres another 400 ill have to spend in the next few months thanks to sum1 elses carelessness. fkin awesome!

 

He said generic + 400.

 

how much is the generic then? i gotta get a new windshiled n e way.. just more $$$ to burn

 

A WRX or STi(I) windshield replacement costs the same. It costs about $100 for the installation and about $200 for the generic glass. The OEM glass costs $630. Insane, isn't it?

The lowest price I've heard of for a generic windshield replacement (including installation) is $225, but that probably didn't include a new gasket seal (recommended). OEM includes a new gasket.

State Farm will provide OEM replacement parts for all repairs, but the policy holder has to ask them for OEM parts, first. I think it's that way for all insurance companies that do business in California.

 

I got quoted 250 for some (PPG)glass for my 05.
I forgot name of the place but Rivers knows where they have 05 glass.

IF Rivers would get his *** in gear and pm me that info.

 

I got my glass installed for 150 with old gasket seal.

 

Really?? I was told that they have to cut the old seal.
