Default Windshield Crack

While my S was parked outside near my house, someone or something cracked the windshield. Its one long hairline fracture from the top of the windshield to the bottom. Do you guys know any shops that can replace it for a decent price?

Edit: Photos added

This should be covered under Comprehensive insurance if you have Full Coverage Insurance.

Just hope your deductible is $250 or less other wise it's coming out of pocket.

i wouldn't run this through insurance. why create a claim that may affect your future insurance rates to save not very much money? I've had windshields replaced in LA for <$200.

Yeah, thats what I thought too. Its collision, at-fault that raises the premium right? In addition for this particular situation; a windshield may qualify under a safety clause depending on the Insurance Agency.
