    It probably isn't OEM. I've had windshields replaced for as little as $125.

    1/2 hr? They must be damn fast. I've watch windshields getting replaced and
    it takes longer than that to do the job right. Rushing means making a bigger
    mess that will take more time to clean up. Once the work is done, you can
    drive right away. It will take a day or so to fully cure, but that doesn't
    really affect the windshield unless you get caught in a storm.

    Another difference I noticed when I got a windshield replaced was that the
    OEM glass was thicker than the new windshield that was put in. Not sure if
    that makes any difference.

    Doesn't your insurance cover windshield replacement? In Mass it does.
