Default What is the best auto glass repair/replacement?
I have a cracked windshield and will be repaired or replaced under insurance. It's pretty small.

OEM? PPG? Safelite? Pilkington?

Safelite? Glass Doctor? Triumph?

Any input will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Whatever it is, it sucks. I have a nice 10 inch crack in mine. I've heard that PPG is good.
