Autoglass are usually a good bet, check your insurance policy and see who they use and get them to book it for you, will only cost you the excess on your policy (varies between £50-80 usually) for the glass instead of the full retail price of the screen and fitting which is likely to be in the region of £3-400 so you should save some money that way too.

If it's covered by your insurance then use whoever they prefer, but if you're paying for it yourself try local Independents and let them know you're paying. It's been a long time since I had the 940 and got the screen replaced but back then the local indy was about half the price (with a proper receipt and VAT) of Autoglass.

If your screen is factory tinted like my late 745 you might find it is not easy to source a screen that matches the original tint of the Sicursiv (Italy) screen and, consequently doesn't match all the other tinted windows. Make sure what tint supplier wants to fit before going ahead.
