Default Windshield replacement?

I need my windshield replaced, anyone familiar with any places around Anne Arundel County that is a decent price? I found 209 at safelite and figured that'd probably be cheapest, but I guess it's worth a try to ask.

Truth, but I am also having a 6k credit card bill as well as $533 carpayments monthly and unemployed at the moment so times are tough over here sir!

And I don't feel like going through insurance, especially if it's only $209 at the cheapest.

I used Safelite before.

They are very unprofessional. The guy that installed my windshield was on his phone the entire time with his girlfriend arguing. He scratched my fender at the corner closest to the windshield(I realized a month after it was installed). I asked them to re-use the seals if they could, and the guy didn't even try to be gentle, he just ripped it off. He also did not fully re-install my rear view mirror.

If I go through insurance, I have to use this company. But I wouldn't use them if it was an option.

I had mine replaced through Glass USA recently and they did an alright job. He did chip the paint beneath the windshield in 2 places. But the windshield looks OEM and has sealed without issue.

I don't know the cost because I submitted it to State farm. $0 glass deductable FTW.

With my State Farm policy it is a $50 deductible for glass. Been through it twice, already. Rates cannot increase for a comprehensive claim. Use your insurance policy. It's what you're paying into it for.
