I got it for around £200, but I didnt want to replace the heated and UV deflecting screen, I just got a ordinary one.
If yours is a heated windscreen they will tear out the flat conducting strip that runs all the way round the edge of the windscreen.

I just had my Subaru windscreen replaced by a GlassTecAuto partner.
Since I remembered the recommendation from here, I thought at least I give credit where credits due to Goran and this forum - thks guys! 
I rang Paul, but he was out of office - but text back saying a local partner would get in touch.
And on time, the local partner rang and though quoted me about £50 more than Auto Windscreen and National Windscreen (but less than Subaru of £407) I decided to go ahead (and they do offer a lifetime warranty on the craftmanship).
Duncan from Leeds turned-up at my work place this morning, at a time agreed, and started work. After approx. 90mins it was all done.
He commented the existing windscreen wasn't fitted properly (there were gaps) and spots of rust around the window frame.
Duncan perfect fitted the new windscreen without gaps and removed and primed the rust spots all inclusive in the price PLUS a FREE Tax Disc holder (which mine was shredded to pieces whilst I was trying to remove it)
Cheers!
