Angry Broken Passenger Side Glass ---- Please Help!

Soooo.... I go out to my car a little bit ago, and last night someone broke my passenger side window. They didnt take anything out of the car, didnt damage anything inside the car, just broke the effing glass.

I had two quotes thus far...

Glass Doctor - 350+ tax said they use oem quality glass?

Cal West Auto Glass - 260+tax said they use PPG glass and that its as good
the OEM glass.

If anyone has any suggestions on where to go to get a better deal or better quality service for the same price please help out.

Thanks,
Filip

Dont know about that.

I'm going to buy a new one. Id rather go with the ppg, i just wanted to know if someone could chime in on the quality of ppg aftermarket glass. I know they do oem for a lot of cars, but g35 isnt one of them.


Was just hoping that maybe someone else already had this experience and could chime in.

Thanks

Hey dude I do auto glass...OEM glass is no different than PPG glass...PPG manufactures glass for most major car manufactures.

Glass Doctor that said they use OEM style glass...Be careful with that and ask them who made the glass. OEM style usually means that they are going to use the cheapest way out possible for them in order make the most money.

PM me if you have anymore questions I'm glad to help

Glass Doctor charges $90 more than PPG so I dont think they are that cheap of a quality?
