I have a few repaired chips in my windshield. I looked into a new one and was quoted $800 as I have a HUD. Windows without the HUD are around $400

Was on my C5 but was perfect. Would use them again.

In Tidewater area of VA they wouldn’t come to you for a Corvette. You had to go to their shop in Chesapeake.

Another vote for Safelite; although not on the Vette (yet), they've replaced a couple of my windshields. Convenient, set up an appointment and they come to wherever you want them to meet you. Did a great job on the two I had done

Another vote here for Safelite.

I haven't had to replace my '05, but they did an excellent job on my '14, which an even more complicated job.

Just because they have gobs of money for advertising and have found a way to steer work to themselves (which is illegal) doesn't mean they are the best place. I would recommend Google reviewing your local glass shops and look for the best one.
