Here's what you do. Open the phonebook and call the first national autoglass replacement company and get a quote. Call the next company and see if they will beat the first quote. (they will) Call the next company and do the same. After going through several companys, call Safelite and get them to beat the lowest price then call Triumph and see if they will beat Safelites price. Be sure to tell them it is a Safelite quote. OK, that's the cheapest way to go. For the best quality job contact your local independent glas shop and pay their price. The nationwide autoglass companys are concerned with ONE thing, quantity! If the installer spends longer than 20 or 30 minutes working on your car he is in trouble. So leaky windshield or not at least you'll get it fast.

you should be able to call around for estimates for your area (call before you decide to go through your insurance company - it's a point on your record any time you go through them and the deducable may be more than you'd pay to have it replaced on your own). also make sure that if the windshield cracks they will replace it free - i know it sounds weird, but sometimes they are off just a little and it causes the windshield to crack after a few days. one of the places in san diego made you pay for the installation again! so be sure you don't get charged if that happens. whoever goes through pep boys (i believe it is safe-t-glass) SUCKS! does not matter how inexpensive they are, i can't tell you how many complaints i got on them!

Depending on if it is a hole all the way through or a crater like chunk taken out ,you should look in the phone book for auto glass repairs ,cause sometimes they can repair them instead of replacing them., but replacing it would depend on the car, I got my van windshield replaced at my job while I was working for $155.00. The co. had a mobile repair shop. Check around

Do a Google for auto glass in your city and call for quotes. Many will come to you and install it right in your drive way or place of business.

Just go to an auto glass shop. It's worth it.

Well you may try a local junkyard. They may know someone who could install it for you.
