$671 to replace windshield?

Hi all,
Just called a dealer and quoted $671 (parts and labor) to replace cracked windshield with a "GENIUNE ACURA" glass.:wow:
Does anyone know any good shops in NYC area?
How much should I expect to pay?
I had once changed Ford Windstar's windshield with a factory part at this shop for $270.
Your inputs will be appreciated.
THX

That sounds little higher than I thought!! GENIUNE ACURA front W/S cost little higher than $400 and needs new W/S moulding which is about $70. Plus labor, it should be around 600 or less.

I had a crack in my Legend's windshield and it would be 850 for Genuine Acura and 325 for aftermarket. I went with the aftermarket.

I have glass breakage here. It $100 to replace the windshield. With my Legend, I found PPG to be a good knockoff of the OEM glass. The dot matrix matched really well. OEM is always more expensive.
