Default cracked windshield

morning guys, well that chip in my windshield migrated into a 12 inch crack in yesterday's cold commute home...it's not infrared glass so can i just go to an aftermarket establishment? i drive the nj turnpike every day so the odds are it will happen again..any recommendations in central/northern nj?

Default I've had a warm and fuzzy for Harmon Autoglass ...

since <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1750737.phtml">This Experience</a>. This summer I got another nasty stone chip and small crack in the the windshield and used a local Harmon for the repair before the crack grew.<ul><li><a href="http://www.harmonautoglass.com/">Harmon Autoglass</a></li></ul>

In some states like MA it is the law, and insurance comp will pay. In other it goes via your deductible.

Just be sure to tell them it just happened and you didn't drive for 6 months until the crack grew. They could say if you handled earlier you could have had it fixed with the "needle" process.

Default Had a deep chip/crack last week. Replaced the windshield for $500 (incl. labor) at dealer

Wish I knew about Harmon, would have saved me some $. Next time, then.
