A rock hit the edge of my windshield and cracked it 10 inches long.

I know of Safelite, PPG, and OEM. Any feedback on brands or replacement issues?

I want to make sure it gets done right and the most cost effective way.

 

75% of the time "right" and "cost effective" are not synonymous.

 

touche... lookin for the best option. always gotta do it right the first time, i feel like im always replacing something on my car and i just bought it.

 

I've used Safelite over the years and have not had any problems.
Last time I used them was about a year ago, to fill a chip in my G37 windshield. Guy came to the house and did a great job.
In FL there is zero deduction for replacing windshields, so I could have had them put in a new one, but figured I'd see what it looked like after they patched the chip. It was located close to the bottom and toward the center. You can not see where they did the repair.

also used safelite recently for a chip in the windshield. great service, came out the next morning and did a wonderful job, you really have to be looking for it to see where he filled it, and can only see it because the tint on the windshield. highly recommend them
