    Try Dynasty Glass, 250-5000 (north locations) and 277-5261 (South locations). They replaced my Dad's matrix side window the very same day we called. They were great people to deal with. The price wasn't bad either for same day replacing ($150)

    You can also try Windshield Surgeons. I've just had two windshields replaced there (my car, g/f car) and they gave us decent prices on both of them. Service was pretty good too.

    BTW, both were done at the NE location on 32nd.

    The best place, and he'll give you a ridiculously good price, and I've had all my car's windshield's done by him is Sam's Autoglass.
    call Sam at 403 680-6969
    tell him Tyler recommended you, he'll set you up with a great windshield done right.

    I'm partial to Crackmasters, despite the funny name

    One word of caution with windshields. I've found that not all are created equal. Typically the premium you pay at a more expensive place is purely for a higher glass quality.

    I've seen time and time again, these cheap windshield replacements crack very shrotly after being installed, while say, my OEM windshild has withstood some serious rocks being thrown at it. Personally, I would prefer to pay to have it done right the first time, rather then replace 2 or 3 shity windshields.

    This is just my personal opinion though.

    ^ On that note, Crackmasters uses only PPG glass. I've found this type of windshield glass is more crack and chip resistant(I've never had one chip or crack, ever), but has a tendancy to pit a bit faster.
