Engine repair and Windshield replacement

Looking for a good auto shop and auto glass place. I took my car into the shop and I have a pretty bad oil leak. I was told it was my valve cover gasket and there was something wrong with my trans cooler lines. They quoted me $302 for the gasket and $72 for the cooler line. I don't know much about prices on these kind of things. But I was hoping someone could recommend a good auto shop that does good work for a reasonable price, so I can get a comparison.

I also have a crack in my windshield that is growing bigger everyday. Need a good auto glass shop as well. My deductible for my insurance is more than what the windshield would cost so I'm not bothering with my insurance if it is less than.

Thanks for your help!

You sure that is for a valve cover gasket and not a head gasket?

If u have a small starburst crack like the size of a dime or smaller take some scotch tape on the out side of the window over the crack make a hollow so u can stick some crazy glue in it now get in side your car and put a lighter to it it should fill in the cracks dont put a lot of glue >this works a lot put not a garantee???

No starburst. Just a big ole crack starting from the very edge of the windshield on the driver side, and currently stops right in my line of sight :twitch:

actually call your insurance company.. windshield is not under the standared deductible.. Its usually about 100.00 and most glass places with cover half the deductible.. Just and fyi..
