I rang them for a rear Megane window and it was about £800. I eventually had one fitted by Auto Windscreens who use UK call centres, their branch manager from Newcastle rang me back and beat every other quote.
Top job done at home for £180.

Robbing fookers. I once had a quote of £580 for a front screen for a 1999 Micra. Ended up getting the exact same screen for £125 fitted from Motorglass in Darlington. Top job too as they came out to my workplace to do the job.
