[From] the auto collision end fo this discussion there are a few things I would avoid. Any nimrod glass shop who offers to reduce your insurance deductible or give you free dinners avoid. they use ****e glass and then will over bill your insuarnce carrier. stick to either the oem glass or a good aftermarket brand, Pilkington is a good outfit. If you have an Abra auto glass locally you can request what type of glass you would like them to use. two outfits I would avoid like the plague ar safelite and diamond glass. Not sure if diamond is a salt lake city local but if it is national avoid them.

I have had over 100 windsheilds replaced in the last few years. Many of the big outfits have glass made to their specs(low quality). Some of the shops talk about how they don't use the junk [Chinese] glass. I don't know how to tell the quality. I do know that [OEM] glass will likely cost you a lot more.
In Colorado you buy the cheap stuff. I big rock on I25 is going to break the glass no matter the quality.
