Curious as to why you are not using insurance? Places like Binswanger claim they help pay your deductible. Since it's not a collision-type accident, shouldn't raise your rates if that is your concern.

Go to my Uncle's mobile glass shop, Smiley's Auto Glass over on Forest Hill Ave. They'll even come to you.

if you have comprehinsive glass coverage you can replace your glass as often as needed and it will not raise your premium. but if you have a high deductable then you are out of luck. clover glass IS the best glass shop in central. they use the best adhesives tools and have the most skilled two man crew in central. the other crap glass shops send out one guy to set your glass and that lowers qualinty greatly. glover glass also is the only glass shop trusted by Pence Subaru so they do many subaru glasses every week and can get your glass very quickly.
and P.S.
do not go to smileys i have seen some very very poor installs from them.
go to this linkhttp://www.cloverglass.com/Cloverqoute.htm you can even get a quote over the internet and they will come out to your work or home for no extra charge.
