Default Windshield replacement

Anyone have any feedback on Safelite auto glass repair? I have a crack that is un-repairable by normal means. It's starting to spread into my driver's view. I am getting quotes of $210 installed from their site.

Thoughts?

I've used Safelite to repair the wife's pitted Odyssey windshield. They did an excellent job. In your case I'd make sure you are getting an equal quality windshield for that price.

Nah I am not going through insurance. Car is not my daily driver and paid off so I don't have full coverage.

I've heard nothing but good things about Richardson Auto Glass ( )http://www.richardsonautoglass.com/

Plus they have a COUPON that offers a $150 replacement if you take your car to their shop.

I had mine replaced by Advanced Glass Systems in NRH and they did a great job. Used PPG/OEM. Safelite is less expensive as they manufacure their own glass. That pushed me away.
I got mine done for 285 out the door.

I am going with Richardson Auto glass. Unfortunately the coupon does not apply to S2K install bc it requires some extra molding but still got a good price $209 installed at my house.

Thanks for the feedback all.
