Title: Windshield Glass
Post by: BEZZ on April 13, 2009, 07:46:07 PM: Well now that winter is over...some what... its time to do a windshield on the jeep. I was wondering if anyone knows somewhere or someone that does them for a good price? Maybe a bunch of us could assembly in one place and have a BBQ/windshield replacement party? I need to paint my frame so I am willing to do most if not all of the prep work.

Let me know if you know a guy who knows a guy.

Post by: BEZZ on April 14, 2009, 08:01:13 AM: Wag, will he give me a discount if I do all the cleaning/prep work since I am planning on painting the frame anyways?

Oh well...next time I'm going through Kimberly to pick up Turkey Jerky, I'll look into it!

Calgary, AB
T2E 6Z5
(403) 250-5570
Fax: (403) 250-5572

I've always gone here. $170ish sounds right, the TJ might have been cheaper, I can't remember. Was even this price for my cherokee and work truck.

Yeah, the wj and gmc trucks were both 185ish after tax. I can't remember if the TJ was cheaper.
Title: Re: Windshield Glass
Post by: BEZZ on April 15, 2009, 02:18:45 PM: So did some research and confirmed the price of $185 installed at National Automotive. I also got in touch with a guy who does mobile installs and has done a couple of the work trucks here at our shop. He said he would be willing to give a discount if we had 8-10 windshields for him to do at once. I am going to iron out pricing for it but if the price is alright would there be 8-10 people interested?

BBQ, beer and windshield party is in the works...now we just need a place with room for 8-10 jeeps. I'll keep everyone posted on the price points.

Title: Re: Windshield Glass
Post by: BEZZ on April 16, 2009, 04:02:55 PM: Tell you what guys, I had a little chat with the mobile guy we have used here at work and he mentioned that the discount for doing a bunch of multiples wouldn't really be all that great. He figured he could maybe get away with charging 10 buck less. That being said I think its best if I just give out his contact details so everyone can get a price from him. I mentioned that I was going to give out his info on the site and he was pretty excited and said he would try and take care of every one. He is mobile so the nice thing is he can come over and do it at your house or work. Contact details are as follows:

Mobile Windshield Replacement
Lance Purchase
403.616.4957

Give him a call, mention the jeep club forum and he should hook you up with a decent rate. Seems like a really good guy and has done some work around our shop before. So much for the BBQ. Let me know if you use him.

Post by: aaronck on May 28, 2009, 08:59:32 AM: I made some phone calls today for my TJ...Windsheild Surgeons are $175 installed, and Cal-Alta Auto glass is $195. I asked if they would match the Surgeons as they are closer to where I work, but they say they use cheaper "different" glass. Is there a big difference?
Title: Re: Windshield Glass
Post by: Jafar on May 28, 2009, 09:59:32 AM: hahaha...wow, alot of people looking for windshields....

i called cal-alta, crystal glass, couple others...cal-alta was the cheapest $219 w/tax installed...
