How do I know if I'm getting the best windshield replacement for my money.

 You're not. it's that simple. 8 out 10 windshield replacements is installed with some type of aftermarket glass. Because, auto glass companies have to make a profit. Remember you want affordable service, excellent services and the best product. Lol, You will never get the best product for an affordable price, lol, NEVA! So, as a customer who wants the best product, a strong reliable windshield that can take a hit or 10. How can I know? Simple do your research and ask questions. Do you offer OEM parts and all auto glass companies will tell you yes! Lets go deeper, ask them do they offer acoustic interlayer windshield.  There's an extra layer of sound resistance within the windshield. the windshield is thicker, heavier then aftermarket. It cost more than the aftermarket non acoustic interlayer windshield.

Non acoustic interlayer windshield lacks the sound resistance interlayer and cost much less. This is what you are gonna get in most cases. Because good business is about profits. Unless you request the part number of both parts. And of course pay for the glass.  In some situation the customers pays the costly price because they feel like this company is highly recommended. And the auto glass still put that aftermarket bullshit in your vehicle. If your funds are low, then aftermarket your go to. But if money isn't an issue and you want the best product. Do this, Request both acoustic and non acoustic part numbers and quotes. Then day of service just verify the part number on the windshield when the technician arrives at your location.
