Any recommendation for windshield replacement?
I have a crack in my Cayman GTS windshield, and it is steadily growing longer. Before long I will go ahead and get the windshield replaced.
I read a thread here that is a few years old, and there were recommendations for That Glass Place, which seems to be in Woodbridge, VA. At off-peak traffic hours, that is about an hour away from me, and I would prefer something closer to home. But, I am OK with the drive if the work is done right the first time. Any further comments on That Glass Shop? Any good experiences with shops closer to Upper Marlboro, MD? I would also consider taking it to Porsche of Silver Spring. But that is close to an hour drive for me as well.

I don't think they will come to me in Maryland, but I haven't called them yet.

Local dealer? Is it insurance work or out of pocket?

I have $1,000 deductible comprehensive, and no special windshield coverage. I figure I will pay out-of-pocket.

Policies vary but windshield replacement doesn't use your deductible.

TGP typically knows the various major insurances pretty well and can advise.

Can't recall where you live.. is Porsche Annapolis closer than Silver Spring? Or call a few dealers and ask who does their glass installs?

Tessa and I had a few chips and cracks from 2 years on track and used Safelite AutoGlass. They came to the house and had a specialist that only worked on high end vehicles do the replacement.
