    I have found ringing around the independents are cheapest.

    Yeah that's the plan. I try to use independant companies for most things like this.

    I emailed a heap of places for quotes. One just rang up with a quote for $290!! Windscreens O'Brien are cheaper than that and i still wouldn't use them!!

    Id say most places will have upped their prices because of the storms.In the past i have found most charge the same regardless if they have to go on site of do it in the shop.Try and find a shop in an area that didnt get the hail,they might not be as busy.How bad is the damage?Can it be driven a fair distance?

    The stone hit the passenger side and left a crack the size of my fist, and the cracks are spreading a little but it should be ok for a week max.

    That's a pretty good price, i'll see what they say about a common Holden model windscreen, hopefully the price difference is as good as what you got. Thanks mate!
