So after neglecting to get my truck's front windshield repaired from the bullseye it got months ago my windshield looks like a city map now. I need to get the windshield replaced and I'm coming up on some days off so I can leave it at a shop to get done. Anyone have any experience with any reputable shops in the central NJ area? Thanks.

There is a safe light on rt 18. I got a chip sealed. they did good work. They will also come to you.

ive used safelite in the past with no issues as well.

I went to this place for my Honda Accord windshield replacement. They did the job in 2 hours. Good experience.

Also their quote was the cheapest of any other i got.

I used dynasty auto glass a couple of years ago on my outback. http://m.dynastyautoglassnj.com

After calling 10 different places this guy had the best price. He came to my house and did nice work. Lifetime warranty on the install. I think he is based out of Jackson.

SafeLite,  they come to house and do it right in your driveway, great experience.

I've been told that it's too cold outside to have them do a mobile job. For the glue(s) to cure properly it would need to be in a heated shop overnight. I'll check out Safelight.  Any other suggestions?

I've used AAA twice so far, good service/no complaints

Why not call your insurance company?  They typically have a list of approved companies that they work with.  This should be covered under the comprehensive section of your auto insurance which likely has a much lower deductible than collision.  I know I carry zero deductible on comprehensive, so any time I get a chip I just get a new windshield.

I own an insurance agency and generally recommend Safelite.

 

They are no muss, no fuss, and weather permitting they come to you.

 

I just learned that AAA does them too.  I need a replacement for my envoy and AAA was a few bucks cheaper but still around a $300 replacement.

I have also had a windshield replaced by Safelite, and was pleased with their service.

 

Also, I would recommend calling your insurance company.  I didn't think about this until I heard from someone else, and then learned that my windshield was completely covered under my insurance.  I didn't pay a dime.

I used http://www.a1glass.net/ few times on different vehicles. Always great job and good price

Windshield guys drive around with a bucket of gravel in their passenger seat.

I would call for the best price unless covered by insurance. In my experience safe lite was $200 more for a cash sale.

I know a guy near the Wawa On Texas Road in the Englishtown/Old Bridge area. He's really fair with prices.

Almost all body shops have relationships with mobile glass installers. They bring your vehicle in the garage where it's warm and the glass guys show up and change the broken window. Usually cheaper than Safelite, they're the most expensive out there. I've used Safelite before, they do a good job, but I don't use them unless the insurance company is paying. They wanted $360 to do my pickup windshield. Roxbury auto wreckers had a guy show up and install a brand new piece of glass not used, for $175. Fourth windshield in that truck since I bought it in 05. I learned their game on window #2.

 

Call around, but beware; there's a few snakes in the glass business.  At various times I've been told that "Oh, that price was for the 2 door model...you have the four door...(there's no difference, just trying to bump-up the estimate), or "That estimate was for the cheap imported glass" (there's no difference, and when I told them the imported glass was fine, it turned out to be PPG; not imported).

Shopping for the cheapest windshield is kind of like shopping for the cheapest seat belt, or cheapest airbag. Windshields are a structural part of your vehicle. If installed improperly or with junky materials your car won't react the same in a collision or rollover. I've seen Windshields push right off the pinch weld by hand. I've also seen lots of shoddy work done by safelight.

Jonny, I think that's a given. Notice I didn't ask for the cheapest auto glass shops? I want a reputable shop. I've dealt with a few places in the past that have tried to pull some malarkey that I won't go back to, but it's been years since I've had windshield work done. If I could do it myself I would, but I don't have that experience.
