Reliable windshield replacement in Oregon?

[indephenit]

Looking to replace my windshield, but local options are Safelite and MS Glass, both budget options but I've heard horror stories on here regarding their installation, anyone have any recommendations in the PNW, specifically in Oregon along I-5?

I'm located in Salem but willing to travel 150 miles for a proper installation.

Thanks!

Call your local Lexus dealer and ask who does their glass. Without a local Lexus dealer, ask other high end dealers. Years ago I 86'd Satellite after talking to the place about our LX windshield.

Thanks I might give that a try, Kuni Lexus of Portland has their own collision center, so there's a chance they might have their own. Next closest is Kendall Eugene, I'll give both a ring Monday.

So every dealership I’ve called locally is recommending using their own body shop for replacement.

Going to start calling around locally seeing if any have experience with 100 series.

I tried to find someone in Medford to do the glass replacement and every dealer said "do it in our body shop" and when I talked to the body shop guys, they all said "we use a guy from Safelite....laughing.

One of the local autobody places with a good reputation owned by a Rumanian fellow...said "we do it in house, we can use OEM parts and we can use OEM windshields which cost a lot, and we use rivets".

Anderson Autobody in Ashland. I had some very minor work done on an old porsche by them and they did a great job.

I have not had the windshield replaced by them yet....but at least the owner says the right stuff.

I also need a new windshield (failed gasket) and live in Portland. I called up Tony at Land Cruiser NW and he highly recommended Collision Auto Glass out near Beaverton. They quoted me $330 all in unless there is substantial rust repair.

I’ll check this one out.

Find someone that's familiar with rivets and which you can trust to use them. The 100 is a little unique in a few areas, but I think by far the most important is avoiding use of screws.

Action auto glass was recommended when I called Porsche.

I also was recommended to Action Autoglass from Kuni Lexus a windshield. It’s where Kuni does all of their replacements at their body shop

Try Clear Image. I had Kiel do the windshield on my 200 when in Tigard and he did a really good job. Very professional, not like the 'Jiffy' crew at Safelite that churn out volume for the insurance industry.
