I have used the one that sometimes shows up at Sobey's in McKenzie Towne; and once at Futureshop in Deerfoot Meadows. I forget the name but they have Orange signs.

So far the job they have done (1 and 2 years ago respectively) was good- no further cracking. Mind you these were small chips; if your crack is already getting bigger (insert joke here) then I might be inclined to spend the extra $5-10 to take it to a reputable glass company.

My issue with glass companies is they have no incentive to do a better job. Their warranty states that if the windshield needs to be replaced due to that repair, they will deduct the cost of the chip repair from the cost of the new windshield. Which to me sounds like you are just putting a down payment on the new windshield.
