Windshield replacement...

Looking for a reasonably priced, reputable company that can replace my windshield. Preferably close to the Sacramento area.

Recommendations?

I need mine done too. It got hit with a golf ball or something. Glass literally flew into the car.

I'm using safeligh as well. Affordable. And I think they did a good job.

IMHO, YMMV.


Stay away from anything "SafeLyte" offers that isn't a factory current piece. Their version of "factory" is "It fits and meets DOT Standards.", not what holds up to chips, etc.

I forget what Rescuer put in recently as well as the non-OE one I did on my '02, but check. IMHO&E SafeLyte's glass is too lite in spec and doesn't last.

Give Jon the Brit at Glass Plus in SF on VanNess a call tomorrow. Ask him what brand was it he said was the best non-OE when he and Shane last talked. He likely will also know of a good place to get it done near you.

Known Jon for 7 years, never steered me or my company wrong on glass.

Because we take our car to interesting places as well as things jump off the road and hit the window, then there is that crazy husband that drops the windshield wiper arm without the blade...
