no offence, but anyone can work on an infiniti.
you can always call infiniti and see who they reccommend since they do offer body work.

Using OEM glass isn't up to the shop, it is up to your insurance policy. So unless you have OEM replacement parts only on your policy, it is a good chance you won't be getting an OEM windshield.

Dealership generally won't take ICBC claims. ICBC pay like 70% of the usual rate so many individual mechanics won't take them either. For those who actually take it, quality of work is not up there. It's a real bitch.

Actually I think the way it works is ICBC only covers generic.. if you want to have the Infiniti logo, you have to pay extra.. that's what happen when I changed ours. About $150+ for the logo, however then you will find the manufacturer of the glass might not be the same one. Quote:

My mom had a claim once and the parts came from all over the place. OEM if there is no aftermarket. But they also use recycled parts if they are available since they are the cheapest.
