Windshield replacment recommendation for Southern California

[drem914]

A little while ago I was replacing my windshield wipers and made a big mistake. While had one of the wipers off I let go of the arm and it hit the windshield. The result was a nice 5" spider web from the point of impact. :angry:

Anyone here have a recommendation for a good replacement shop in Southern California, preferably in Central or South Orange County.

I don't want any shop that is going to just clip the antenna lead and not hook it back up or have the screen leak after they are done. I want it fixed once and fixed right.

Thanks for any help.

You should check with your insurance company to see if you have windshield coverage first. My agent had added windshield coverage for me without even asking (about $5 for 6 months), so I had a $100 deductible for the windshield, instead of the usual $500 or $1000. When I had my windshield on my new Cayenne S replaced, I asked my dealer where they sent cars and just went there, paid my $100, and everything looked as good as new. Porsche dealers just outsource windshield repairs and then mark up the work.

Thanks I'll do that. I never opted for a windshield coverage that i know of. If I If I have to claim my deductible then I wont do it. We'll see what AAA says in the morning.

I had AAA when the 3rd windshield went it. They said it was subject to my $750 deductible. So I paid 100% for it.

After 24 years with that company I am no more.

Wow!

I'm amazed to read yet again about cracked windshields due to the weirdest of circumstances. It must be an "angle of attack"

thing.

A while back I was behind a huge construction truck when I saw it flick up a apricot sized rock and it was easy to see it cruising

right for the windshield! It smacked the glass so hard my wife thought we were being shot at, and left 3 nice scratches where

it hit, but didn't crack the glass!

Amazing.

These guys are outstanding! They were personally recommended by my Allstate Agent (whom I've been with for 17-years and knows how particular I am). They came to my home and did an unbelievable job. I was very pleased. I know they service the OC as well. Can't remember what I paid last year, but it was very reasonable.
