SoCal Windshield Shop

Can anybody recommend a Southern California windshield shop that not only has a good price but good service? After 29 years, my car deserves a fresh one...

Or I'd settle for some assurance that I could do it myself...

Thanks,

Scott

There's a place down here in SD called Elite Auto Glass (I'm pretty sure that's right) that did mine after a recommendation to use them. I called them up and they had a guy who knew Porsches. Sure enough, he knew exactly the deal - bent the frame into place with the rubber and string, then popped it on. He did both front and back in an hour or 2 I think and it was very reasonable.

Good lead. If I can't find one closer to home I'll do it on my trip down there in July.

Thanks.

I've got a glass guy who can come to you. He's very reasonable and good with 911's. New Era Auto Glass talk to Frank or his wife.
