Good shop to replace windshield in DC area?

Hi,
I have a large crack going across the windshield in my '00 Aero. Any suggestions on a good place to get it replaced? The crack grew quickly beyond repair. I have a quote from Safelite for $232.90 installed which sounds cheap. The windshield is by PPG (Pittsburg Paint & Glass Company) - I was told it meats all of SAAB's OEM specs.
Several years ago I had a windshield replaced (on-site at my job) on an old VW Jetta, and it leaked - bad experience. I want to go to a decent shop who knows what they're doing this time. The Safelite shop closest to me is located in Capitols Heights, MD. I called safelite because my insurance company (who I won't be filing with anyway, because my deductible is higher than this claim) suggested Safelite.
So, to summarize:
Where have people had success replacing windshields?
Is PPG a good windshield?
Is Safelite in Capitol Heights competent?
Is $232 (installed) a reasonable price?
Thanks,
KevinH
