Need a front windshield

I have an appt with Safelite tomorrow morning but I am now reading poor reviews. Any socal companies that use good quality or OEM glass I should call?


Thanks

 

I'd also be interested in this. My windshield has a crack that goes almost the whole way across. OP do you mind me asking what safelite quoted you?

 

$239, from what I understand, they make their own glass, and it could be distorted or wavy, If this is true id love to find a local business close to the same price that has OEM glass.

 

I Have been using the my Same glass guy for over 8 years. $150 w lifetime installation on seals. In Fullerton

 

what kind of glass does he use? care to share his contact info?

 

I wonder if it'd be a hit or miss situation with their glass then. Theres a company called all star auto glass down here in escondido that some of the guys at work have used. Not sure about where they get there glass from tho.

 

Had my windshield replaced just now with OEM pilkington. The company charged me $189. So far I have not noticed any distortions of waves, it has all the same markings as OEM, the top tinted like OEM and had the correct plastic piece for the rearview mirror. I am 100% happy as far as the glass goes, later today I will take it on the freeway to see if there is any wind noise.

 

Call around your local junk yards and have them pull one for you. I've had 3 separate occasions where I had windshields replaced and have found all of them at junkyards for super cheap. When you tell the window installers you provide your own, the install cost drops by about 75%.
