Default Windshield replacements

A rock hit my windshield on my 93 ES300 and cracked it. Anyone know of a good Windshield replacement place in Orange County, CA? and How much is it going to cost?
any help would be great, thanks...

Try http://www.safelite.com.

I used them when my ES300 windsheild was cracked from the winter.

It cost me under $450 and they can come to you, if you want.

I had a quote for about ~$300 from a local glass manufacturer, I think Safelite but not sure.
Interestingly, I asked about Toyota coatings and they said the glass had all the same UV and tints as the original. FWIW.

Some insurance companies in some states also offer comprehensive w/ full glass coverage ($0 deductible for windshield). Of course, that depends on the decision of the insurance adjuster when he/she comes out and takes a look at the condition of your windshield. As an example, a small 'chip' on the windshield won't necessarily get you the full glass coverage
