Are you talking about Safelite? They quoted me same price. They also said if I bring in the car, they will deduct $20...

I think I will go with them since they seem the most professional. Thanks for info

Yeah, they said if you bring in the car, they will discount you $20, plus it will only take one hr for them to do, whereas if they come out to you, it may take 1-5 hrs....but I was talking to a different location. Good luck. I htink I may get mine done tomorow...kinda nervous

Well I got it done today. Took about 1 hr. Total of $216. Also instead of using safelite Glass, they used PPG ( stamped on lower right ) Tech guy said the safelite one had a chip on it. So far its looks pretty good, I can see some minor flaws, but I'm VERY picky! Overall pretty good. I'll let you know later if there are any leaks * cross fingers*

That's incredible. Is Safelite in Houston, Tx or somewhere else? I will have to look into it for my future needs. I replaced my gf's bmw 530i's windshield with the help of my uncle who's a manager of a glass place and another uncle who is semi managment at bmw and it still cost me 340 for her car.
