Advice from the va area

Windshield got hit by a rock, and it left a huge smashed circular area with lines radiating out from the center. Luckily, the stone didn't hit the body, but clearly the windshield will have to be replaced. Which is the better dealership to do the job: Porsche of Arlington, VA or Porsche of Tysons Corner? Or, is there a better place??
Any & all advice will be greatly appreciated.
Mr. B

I bet they both outsource that job. Try finding out if that is true and whether they'll tell you who they outsource it to. One way I found out was I asked them for a body shop recommendation and asked the body shop who he/she uses.

Good luck.

OK, so I contacted both Porsche dealerships and learned that they both outsource the work. I found that Safelite would do the job cheaper while still using Porsche OEM glass, so that's what I just had done and I am very pleased with the results.
Thanks for you advice.
