I think most of you regular guys know that Mike (69Boss302) owns Allen's Auto Glass Repair (Allen's AGR). About a month ago my CSVT got a small stone chip on the wind shield. After I contacted Mike, he drove down to where I work (downtown DC) to repair the chip. I can see him very detail oriented. After he's done with the job, the chip is no more! I am fairly happy with the job quality. Also he got some very fancy business cards! From his card I just learned that he is also certified Notary Public. I bet most of you guys don't know, right? The only thing I think Mike should consider, IMHO, is to get a portable GPS. He got lost in the DC traffic for a good 30 minutes. I believe Mike can write the cost off because that's business related expense.  Good job, Mike!

Thanks for the compliments Rick. I appreciate it very much.
I've actually been looking at getting a GPS unit just for that very reason too. I just need to free up a little cash first.

If you're shopping, look at www.buygpsnow.com, especially if you've got a PDA you like. I have a SD card GPS receiver that I use with my Dell, and there are some different software options.

I don't do replacements just repairs. Many times though a windshield can be repaired. If you'd like I can swing by and have a look at it. If you're sure that it needs to be replaced then look at Safelite or Harmon Auto Glass. Their man bread and butter is replacemnets and usually do a good job. Make sure though that you educate yourself about it all before you do anything. Also, look for a company that has NGA (National Glass Assoc) certified techs.

How do you know if it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced?
My miata has had a small crack in the windshield since I bought it and I am wondering.

can you repair a crack that goes from one end of the windshield wipers to the other?

Hey everyone, been in SC last week finishing work on the SVT and now both the Silverado and SVT are in MD. Originally posted by JeSuS iS LoRD:

I generally won't attempt repair on a crack over 12" however that's not to say it can't be done. I recently repaired a crack that was 24" - 30".
In all fairness to you and myself, it's really hard for me to say if it should be replaced or not without seeing it first. I would be willing to have a look at it for you.

I would need to look at it. PM me if interested.
