Default BMW windsheild replacement suggestions in MoCo?
Anyone had their windshield replaced and can recommend someone in Montgomery County? This is for my E46 sedan. Would prefer at home service, but I don't mind taking it somewhere. Car has a rain sensor, if that's relevant.

Don't know Banner but Safelitte refused home replacement on 996 earlier this year. glassaccounting@glassusa.com did good job, but no idea on price as Cold Hands picked up the tab

as they did on my 997. after i brought in to shop, guy said my model (and i guess 996 too) is tagged in their system as in-house only because it needs a "senior tech". FWIW...

Safelite used to have a shop in Gaithersburg (in the same complex as Auto Therapy), but they recently closed. Website shows shops in Rockville and Bethesda.

Depends on the damage. Rain sensor is relevant if you need an entire new windshield. Are you looking to have 1-2 stone chips repaired or is it more serious?

Safetlite wont typically do more than 3 repairs to a windshield I believe.
