Default Safelite is national and replaced my windshield twice in one week..
Suggestion. Request OEM - period. If they come with some 3rd party windshield like they did mine the first time, it didn't fit properly. When I called to complain they came out the second time to look at it and agreed. Replaced again and all nicey nice.

Oh yeah...Watch them. Take pictures before and after so you remember what the moulding placement is.

What did they charge you? Do you know if they do other windows (rear, side)?

That does not sound like fun. OEM? Is it worth the cost?

I used Safelite. Installer did an awesome job. Ask for premium glass.

Cost was cost. $324 for whatever. That was the price no matter what glass.

Probably rear because it's just as easy as front. Sides are another story. Wouldn't trust them.
