If its 8 inches, they will not repair it.

Who? Safelite? They're replacing it for $50

Safelite has crazy and nasty people working for them. I don't recommend them for future use.

I called Geico they said I can use Safelite and all I'll pay is $50 they'll pay the rest. If not I can use anyone pay  the full price and send in a receipt. Should I do the first option?

Presumably the insurance companies have a deal with them to not be ripped off.

If you are a member of Triple AAA, they offer windshield replacement with a discount.

When I had a broken window, I googled for glass replacement and then called all of them. The prices for the exact same service ranged from like 280 to 500+ (I think safelight was the highest). If you've got insurance then whatever, but if you're paying yourself, then caveat emptor.
