Check with your (their) insurance company. Depending on how old the car is will dictate if the replacement is OEM or generic glass.

Some glass shops give a discount to certain insurance company customers -- which helps a bit with net cost... but won't reduce whatever co-pay is part of the policy.

Sometimes... disreputable shops will claim "We'll pay your deductible..." which just means, they will over-bill the insurance a bit and not collect the deductible from you. Needless to say, your insurance company knows who most of these shops are... and will not recommend them to you.

I just had my front replace due to big crack. I carry a high deductible, so I just shopped around and found a decent generic replacement for about $425 (installed).
