A VERY large rock hit my windshield in June - I'm lucky to be in one piece. I had a guy replace a windshield for me a few years back, and called him first. But he's down in Philadelphia and his schedule wasn't great, and it rained for the next 3 days to boot. A first world problem, to be sure, but I couldn't get to work, and it's not like windshields are free. I was frustrated by my circumstances, and even though it felt like a betrayal, I had to call a different shop. I was happy to discover Anthony is in my neighborhood. And even happier he could replace my windshield the following morning. He was on time, friendly -- he even played with my dog, and explained the process to me, which I appreciated. He made the swap in under an hour, and I let it sit, per his instructions, for a few hours, so the glue could dry, and I've been good to go.
I would give him 5 stars, but he was the most expensive of all the shops I called. In fact, he was $100 more than my guy in Philadelphia; and he accepts cash only (no checks or cards) - which is fine, but because my car was not roadworthy, I had to walk to a bank (another first world issue, but I'm mentioning in case, like me, you don't live with another driver and/or further from a bank than I do). I don't know a lot about this particular industry, so I have no idea why there would be such a wild fluctuation in pricing among the professionals in the area. The windshield for my 2003 Jetta was just under $300, which is egregious! The other guy quoted me at $197, with labor and tax, but I would have lost more time at work (and the associated pay) if I waited for his schedule to open up. But it was also a massive relief to be able to drive again, so I am grateful for A G Auto Glass; and I totally recommend them, with caveat that the prices are high. read more
