I will try to find the place that replaced my wife's windshied in her Tahoe. It was only a couple of hundred bucks for that big thing. I know I foudn them in the Yellowpages and they came to my house the next day. It's a mobile service that can do the repair at your work or at your home.

Go to yellowpages.com and search around, you will find a good deal, I am sure.

Try safelite auto glass, I've used them in the past, not too bad $$ and they come to you.

I just got a quote from safelite for $203 but i got him down to $170 just by saying that i wanted to call a few more places and get a few more prices. Plus they said that they would meet or beat any competitors price.
I found another guy "Payless AutoGlass" here in Pomona. I could've sworn i was talkin to Crazy Gideon. I would not have trusted this guy to fix anything, but he quoted me $120.
When i get mine done, I'm gonna try to get Safelite to do it for crazy gideons price, but i dont think they'll be too happy about it.

this is all for my 96 2 door and im in san dimas....so it might vary a bit

hope that helps

I had mine replaced a little over a month ago for $120. I'll try to find the number of the guy who did it.

There is a place in Costa Mesa and IIRC their PH is 7145565330 and they have really reasonable prices.

Just by way of comparison,
I just had mine done this weekend here in Long Beach. $116 included tax but I had to go to their shop. (No house calls on Sat.) No distortions that I can see. I haven't washed it yet to check for leaks but they warrenty against that for 1 year I think. It has the tint strip across the top but it's so small as to be useless. Probably can find the same deal in your neck of the woods.

You hook it up with insurance? I can never get a good quote because I don't know whats on my record and need them to print it out and write the policy to match my record.
