Windshield Surgeons. When I had to get the one on my Matrix replaced, it cost just around $200!! I was quite impressed. I would highly recommend them.

ive had a good size crack for about 3 months now.

no way i was replacing that in winter.....or with all the gravel on the roads.

another month or 2 and ill go get it replaced.

I put one in the sunfire a while ago and it cost me 195 installed.

Every time I found a small ding in my windshield, I went and got it repaired, there's a little place near McLeod and Southland, the guy that works there owns an SS and has done a couple fills for me. I'm fairly certain they have a pretty good rate on windshield replacements as well.

Maybe if we get some form of a groupbuy/groupthing going,(saying we'll all get our windshield "Needs" filled at his shop) we can get some kind of a discount!!

actually, they dont have too

sometimes they will, but they have zero obligation too, but its worth a shot

edit: had to deal with this situation at work today. reason they dont have to look after it is because they werent being negligent its just a fluke accident.
