Safelite is the name most people know. JRD is the family-owned shop that has been doing the same work in Round Rock and Austin since 2009. Here is an honest side-by-side so you can pick the right shop for your car.

Both shops can replace your windshield. The differences are in who does the work, how you are quoted, and what happens after.
JRD is owned and run by Jeremy Driscoll out of one shop at 2100 Double Creek Dr in Round Rock. Safelite is a national chain with locations across the country. Both have their place. With JRD, the person who quoted you is the person accountable for the job.
JRD gives you an exact price online from your license plate or VIN, including calibration and any mobile fee, so there is nothing to decode later. Always compare all-in totals, not just the glass line.
JRD performs static and dynamic camera calibration in-house at the Round Rock shop and hands you a calibration report. Whoever you use, ask whether calibration is included in the quote and whether you will receive a report.
JRD backs every installation with a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. National chains also offer warranties, and a nationwide warranty can be handy if you move a lot. If you live in Central Texas, a local warranty is one phone call away.
Call or text JRD and you talk to the shop directly. Same-day and next-day appointments are common, mobile or in-shop, and we answer 24/7 by phone, text, and email.
Both shops work with all major insurers. In Texas you have the right to choose your own glass shop. If your carrier or its glass network suggests a shop, you can still say "I would like to use JRD Windshield in Round Rock" and the claim works the same way.
If your car has a camera behind the mirror, a quote without calibration is not a complete quote. Ask for the all-in number.
A printed or emailed report shows the camera passed. It matters for safety and for insurance records.
OEM or aftermarket, and which brand. A good shop tells you both prices and lets you decide.
OEM-spec urethane with a stated safe drive-away time. If nobody can answer, that is a flag.
With JRD the answer is Jeremy, at the shop you already visited. That accountability is the main reason people choose a local shop, and we work hard to keep earning it.

"Needed a windshield replacement. Looked at the "big company" and even with a coupon there, JRD was cheaper. Big company wanted 3 hours, JRD finished the job in 41 minutes and had availability same day and next day."
"Locally owned shop that provided excellent service and completed the work in less than the quoted time. It was less expensive than that huge nationwide company. JRD Windshield gave me the total price including calibration upfront so there were no surprises when I went to pay."
"I shopped around a few places local to me and they were much more expensive, so I appreciated that JRD could come to my house almost 40 mins away for no additional charge."
