So last weekend while I was driving down the highway, the car in front of me hit something on the road, which then flew up and hit my windshield, leaving 2 6" cracks in it. Has anyone here had any type of automotive glass repair here in Rolla? Who would you recommend?

There's also Miller Glass on 63. I don't know anything about prices, but at least it gives you another option to check prices at.

Miller Glass is fan-freakin'-tastic. You should definitely check them out. They'll get all of my glass-related business as long as I'm in Rolla. They're on HWY 63 North of Walmart.

I just got mine replaced Friday. I went to King Glass. Good price and fast service.

I'd recommend replacing the entire windshield as opposed to simply sealing the crack--those patch kits suck ass--they leak and don't prevent the crack from propogating.

Any crack longer than 5 inches will be hard to seal and most places will not do it. It will continue to crack.

If it a nick then seal, otherwise ALWAYS replace! MUCH safer if you are ever in a wreck…

Miller Glass does have that catchy commercial, so they must be good.
