I had Safelite replace my rear windshield on my CTS (HUGE piece of glass) and had no issues with them. But there's another thread on here where someone had them do work on their Vette windshield and had problems. It's a toss up. But dealerships just call the national chains anyhow, so I'd just go ahead and cut out the middle man and go straight to the chain.
Most dealerships just call an outside glass company to do the work. I have been very happy with Safelite.

When these threads come up it just makes my head spin with all the misinformation. I could go on and on about this but my explanation would be too long for everyone to read. I will say this. Google review whoever you use including Safelite. You might just change your mind about them and who you might consider.

Safelite put a windshield in my Porsche 944 about 5 years ago. They did just about THE WORST job ever. I was watching the guy glue the windshield over the alignment blocks, instead of along side them. I was so upset...he had to use a ton of sealant to close the huge gap.
I sued Safelite, but instead of going to court, I went to Mexico for the winter...and it still bothers me to this day.
It all depends on the worker/installer...but if you ask me...GO TO A SMALL glass installer. The small shops are much more careful who they hire.

I know it is a state to state thing but in my state (NY) we can add full glass @ $0 deductible for really cheap, around $20 a year per car as long as you have full coverage (no liability only).

I have to get my windshield replaced and I don't even know where to start! Do you recommend national chains, GM dealers?
