Windshield Replacement

Hey everyone! Jeff (Jeff1872t, WRXpert) and I need to replace our windshields.

Does anyone have recommendations of any vendors, and an idea of what to expect in regards to price? We plan to have both cars done together in hopes to save a little $$$.

Thanks for the help!

Sincerely,
Shattered Dreams & Crack Addict

I know i paid way too much for mine ~ 350 I think, but I needed it done quickly. I used 800glass.com . So far its been ok. Ive heard of people paying about 200 if you search around.

Wow, I paid almost $400 for a new glass and seal through Safelite Auto Glass. But they did a really good job. Well, here is the website just in case http://www.safelite.com/

For this place Mike, do we have to go to them or do they come to us?

Do you have the business name? And how long ago did you have the work done? No problem thus far?

Im hoping to save a buck but not if it means problems down the road.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Thanks for the help guys! Safelite gave the best online quote at $179.98, its there sizzling summer deal. We're still calling around, I'll post our final price for a reference for everyone. Unfortunately with the condition of most S.CA roadways it is inevitable that someone will be coming around looking for window replacement.
