Hi Patty,
I used TOP END AUTO GLASS in Belgrade, MT for my MINI a few years ago.
They're a bit expensive, but I had a $100 deductible on my windshield
through my Farmers Ins. policy so I only had to pay $100 for the
windshield. I think the full price was around $200 from Top End Auto
Glass.
The service was excellent though! And furthermore, the guy travels to
you so you don't have to go out of your way to get it replaced. He was
very nice, and explained how he used to own a company that was bought
out by one of the chain auto-glass companies... He refused to work for
the chain because he was dissatisfied by the low quality of windshield
glue they were using. He went into some details about how he used the
finest qualities of glue when he puts a new windshield in place.
I highly recommend him to you. Their phone: 406-388-4628

I'm not sure I can top the mention of Top End Auto Glass, but our
experience 4 or more years ago, was with Critelli Auto Glass in
Billings. Cost was not excessive as I recall and very quick. We did
take the car to the shop for the replacement. I think our issue was
the car was yet under warrantee, and we checked with MINI dealership
on the use of someone other than dealership.
