Tehnation Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I was just quoted $265 to replace my windshield with a pilkington? or a ppg?. Not sure which brand is better. And they come to my driveway to do it. I have a pilkington currently so i may go with the same thing. Safelite quoted me 330, plus "Quote does not include tax, disposal fee or additional service options." so probably like 350 or so. Not a fan of this safelite, i like talking to people, everything is online, and this taxes disposal fee nonsense.... when I pay someone for work or get a quote I want one price... hate this retail like nonsense.

Max Capacity Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 You may want to make sure it is the heated and tinted at the top as OEM ? Years ago there was a member here that owned a glass shop. He wasn't to impressed with Safelite. But did like PPG. He mentioned the tint at the top like OEM. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 it was quoted for the heated and the tint. Does safelite use ppg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I don't think so. He said they weren't as clear as PPG. If I recall right, thinking back now. At different angles the view was not a perfect. Edited August 13, 2020 by Max Capacity 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

dgoodhue Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 That is about what I paid for heated/tint windshield for a 2011 LGT. I got the same quote from Safelite, and it extra for mobile installation. I had gotten a windshield 11 months earlier from another company that safelite acquired for about $260. It seem like BS to me that windshield prices went up that much so that is when I searched for a lower quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I went to Safelite in Beaverton near me. I went through insurance to do it, but I got an aftermarket heated windshield that I have zero complaints about. $100 due for the deductible. The windshield on there prior was an OEM Subaru one that didn't appear different to me in any way. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
