Anyone know of any good priced glass places? I need to replace my windshield due to a rock chip. I was quoted 340 through one place. Any ideas? Thank you.

Exo X on the west side of PDX.

 

Safe Lite is pretty cheap, I think I was quoted $250 ish for a mobile replacement. I also have a hook at work for another mobile repair about the same price probably.

 

i used safelite.....282.00 and they came next day to my job and replaced it within an hour. No problems since. I used 'Lancer' glass instead of 'Evo' glass...its was like 30 bucks cheaper for the same thing, but you have an X.

 

Really? I wonder what the difference is between Evo and lancer glass?

 

isnt the evo glass thinner? to save weight lol

 

Sounds logical to me.

 

Thats what I heard lol, not sure how much weight is being saved

 

ya i have heard nothing but good things with safe lite.

 

SpeedyGlass quoted me $199 installed. You gotta drive to them though.

 

The glass can't be thinner because the federal regulations required..... When I replaced mine I used a mobile service, Lindsey's Windshield (503) 774-8975. He's from Vancouver but drove to my garage when I lived in Beaverton at the time; on a Saturday, and the price couldn't be beat. Used really high quality sealers and stuff too. Been in business since '78, and I was really pleased.

 

The Evo glass is thinner, I believe its about 7lbs lighter. All the glass in the Evo is shaved. The Evo windshield from the dealer is almost $600 just for the glass. All aftermarket glass repair shops are going to be using the lancer glass. I would suggest just going with the standard lancer glass as it will not chip as easily, and you won't have to wait for it to be imported.

 

I called Mitsubishi, only showed one part number for the Evo and lancer. Could you post the different part numbers? He also told me this is the case all the way up to 2010. I think the whole safety factor comes in on lighten glass. It would be weaker. I found 260 so far.

 

i'd go with lancer glass if it's thicker. unless you are hardcore track, you won't notice 7 lbs (if it's really that much, and it'll be much more durable for day-to-day driving

 

ive used safelite several times for several diff cars..had chips fixed, whole glass replacement etc..only thing is being in ny you have to watch them like a hawk..alot of lazy people out there..all the channels need to be scraped and cleaned really well..

only reason i havent done it myself is that my ins. co usually picks up the bill..good luck

 

Was just quoted yesterday from Speedy Auto Glass $225 installed at my home.
