I have a busted out side rear window on my jeep cherokee. Any recommendations on where to go/ where not to go to get it fixed?

Edit: I will be paying cash out of pocket if that changes anything

Tag for info. I have a cracked wrangler front windshield, and after looking at my insurance, it doesn't make sense to do anything other than pay out of pocket. Elite/Safelite seem to be everywhere, but apparently some people say they use cheaper glass vs. OEM and it's noticable...?

Safelight is very anti-gun, so avoid giving them your business if at all possible.

i have never seen a difference in quality from oe glass to safelight or novus or whatever... and besides oe will probably triple the cost
i just recently got into a buiness relationship with Abra auto glass (they do paint and body as well) and have had good vibes from em
abra/safelight/novus/ all are good service... if safelight is anti gun... im taking of my ever going there list
if you want PM me your info and ill see if i can get them to give you my cost.. will need specific location you need the work done (address at work or home or whatever)

Quick-Set Auto Glass. My pops' company uses them quite a bit, and I had them do the windshield on my wife's car. Very quick, professional and low priced as well. Call and talk to Diane she will take care of you. 303-435-4708. Tell her you got their name from Rusty and they probably will remember me and/or my dad (same name).

Bummer sorry about that. They are good people though.

Guardian Auto Glass in CoS put in a sliding rear window and replaced a failed regulator my driver side window on my truck. Best price of the three places I called and pretty quick work. They'll come to you to do the work, but since I work on Peterson, I went to them. Both times they had the work done in about 30 minutes.

Little story on the drivers window. I was getting the rear window replaced and asked them to take a look at the drivers window while they were at it. No extra charge and told me they'd have to order the part. When I went back, it turned out their distributor sent them a power window regulator (I have manual windows) and I'd have to come back. Came back and they dropped the labor charge to replace the regulator. That makes them a pretty classy act in my book.

You have a great Jeep junk yard right there in Erie. Jeeps unlimited - More expensive than most, but it might be worth it, time, gas, etc....

TLC Auto Glass in Castle Rock, CO. They can come to you, if necessary.
Good price, military discount, locally owned and operated. Hell of a nice guy owns it, has a son in the military and he's fast, efficient and on time.

Are they mobile like Safelite? Meaning, will they come to my house or office and replace my windshield? If so, any idea their geographical radius? I'm all the way up in Broomfield and work in Boulder, but i definitely need a new windshield.

Yes they are mobile. I don't know where exactly they are located, but from the looks of their website they service from Ft Collins down to CO Springs, so my assumption would be they make it up your way as well.

Wow thank you everyone for the replies and PM's. I made some phone calls and decided it was way cheaper to just install myself. I cut some plexi glass and installed that until the glass I ordered online comes in. It was only $36 with shipping. I also decided to fix my driver side speaker wire connection and window lock problem while I was at it. The old XJ is looking fancy now!

Had no idea they were here. I have a few more things I need to get. Worth a shot
