This may not be in the right area but after coming back from vacation I discovered a crack in my windshield, its probably 12 inches in total length and has a 40 degree angle kink in it. It starts right where the passenger wiper rests, and goes up then hooks left to the driver.

Does anyone on here do windsheilds or have a recommended shop that also does them cheaply.

Its a 1994 Buick Lesabre with the original windsheild.

There’s a Diamond Glass right next to my shop. Go in, talk to Mark, tell him I sent you over. He’ll do you a good deal.

If you don’t have insurance on it, probably $150 to $300.

apparently you can bargain with these guys. my brother in law needed his replaced last week, had an appointment with Safelite and got a better quote from another guy. He called back Safelite to cancel, and when they asked why, he told them the lower price he got, and they beat it by 10% and came out that day to replace.

[LEFT]Absolutely.

Actually the safelite dude who replaced the windshield in my saturn told me flat out, I should have called them and bargained, I paid a little too high.
