Windshield Replacement?

Bought a pickup yesterday, and it has a ding in the windshield. It also has a couple of scratches. I was told that I would have it fixed. I called the repairman today and he said that it's already been attempted on this truck and it can't be again.

So now I'm looking to replace my entire windshield. Does anyone know the best places in Austin (preferably south) for this? I don't want to pay too much either.
 
Insurance should cover it. Most winshield places will cover the deductable for you if it's less than 75 bucks. Just call places in the phonebook and ask if they will pay the deductable. My deductable was 500 so no glass place would cover it. I decided to change the amount of the deductable to 50 (insurance increased about 5 bucks a month). I did not tell the insurance company the little knick was spreading already.

We usually go to a place of Burnet and 183 but I can't remember the name of the place.
 
I've used SafeLite a lot in Austin, thanks to some West Campus thugs, and always found them to be great.
 
I work in claims for insurance and I can tell you that you get what you pay for. IMO do not, DO NOT, get a winshield from someone that charges a price like that. They use glass that is not certified and most likely will have to make it fit. I cannot stress to you this fact enough. They will most likely also put your windshield in incorrectly. The windshield in your vehicle works to provide a rigid and sturdy structure in case of an accident . Glass like that will pop out, causing the top of your vehicle to cave in.

This may sound stupid to some people, but in a rollover accident it will most likely result in very serious injury or death. Just tell the glass company that you are paying for it yourself and they will most likely lower the 450 or whatever price a little bit. Guys like the one that did the windshield for cheap should be flogged.

I am begging you to not use someone like that! Very much a piece of **** windshield and a piece of **** person to sell someone that type of product.

PM me if you have any questions and I will try to help you out all that I can.
