Also, if you have Safelite do chip repairs, they will apply those charges to your next windshield.

I have heard some horror stories locally about the quality of Safelite's windshield installs. YMMV.

I'm on my 3rd Safelite windshield in my van, and have put another 3 windshields into my fleet rigs this year alone. All have been as-good as OE, with no visual distortions. FWIW - our Safelite rep did say they changed vendors about 2 years ago, for the better.
I did have one issue with one of my windshields. I drove up for skiing immediately after having it put in. It was heavy rain all the way up, and pretty darn cold up at the mountain. The rain which then froze ended up pushing the new glass out slightly from window frame. Safelite re-did the install (with another new windshield) without charging me. But now I know better than to take a wet windshield into freezing temps before its fully cured (which takes 24-hours).
