Default cracked windshield

Looks I'm joining the club. I have growing crack along the base of my windshield. Can anyone recommend a good place in SoCal (LA/Glendale) to get the windshield replaced. Also any ideas on how much this is going to ding me?

Was the crack caused by something hitting the windshield, or does it look like a stress fracture? If it's the latter, take it to your dealer; They'll cover it under warranty.

Default took it to dealer this afternoon

i had the dealer replace it, unfortunately there was clearly spot where a rock or some other debris hit the windshield. The repair cost about $370. Ish happens oh well. I just never have a pleasant experience when I visit my dealership. Whatever thank you all for your input though, as always it is much appreciated.
