After making an appointment and paying excess we received a call bringing the appointment forward by an hour After arriving at the centre in Nuneaton I was informed they are running 10 minutes late. After waiting for 40 minutes I was then informed the glass was not in the centre and I couldn't be given a time when it may arrive We then had no choice but to cancel the works to go elsewhere for some real customer service

Awful company unreliable rude don't waste your time with them. Booked windscreen replacement as van failed mot. Got an appointment within the ten day mot retest. Then they canceled it 5 mins before they were supposed to arrive after I'd left work early. Then said he was too busy then promised me somebody the next morning so didn't go to work at normal time. Then rang me 5 mins before again and said he's phoned in sick. They said it was out of there hands. All I wanted was my windscreen replaced when it was booked lol. They then rebooked it for Tuesday which was after the 10 day mot retest. Ended up paying privately to get it done. Didn't take my complaint seriously acted like I shouldn't even complain. Am going to take them to small claims court to make them pay for at least the extra cost involved to get windscreen done privately. There happy to charge you if you miss your appointment. They shouldn't be allowed to behave like this ... Bunch of c u next Tuesday's!

First appointment cancelled last minute after scheduling a day off work, second appointment 1 hour drive to find out the wrong windscreen had been ordered (after I had specifically stated what was required), another afternoon off work. Third appointment promised first thing in the morning if I'm willing to drive 1 hour 30 to a fitting centre, to receive a text the afternoon before that it had been moved to mid day. At least a combined 3 hours on hold listening to how excellent their customer service is (although ironically they did recommend that I read their reviews, which I did, maybe don't draw attention to these). Would not recommend, fully do not expect to have my windscreen fitted at the next stated appointment.

Hi there I visited your inverness today to get my windscreen done and was greeted by your two employees down there who were most helpful to me and really easy to deal with. On return I spoke to Steve who talked me through what he had done he was really nice what a pleasure to deal with ten out of ten for the service đź‘Ť

TERRIBLE SERVICE! I called yesterday 02/22/2022 at 16:08 as when I’m trying to confirm the replacement windscreen (for my company car) online I’m receiving a message saying “You’re details haven’t been validated. Please check and try again.” The guy in the other line, “Oliver”, ask me details and I gave the details that I know as my boss booked the replacement. I told “Oliver” the issue and want to confirm that the vehicle that they are attending is correct. He ask me about the registration and gave him the registration number and said that it is booked for tomorrow 02/23/2022. Now the technician came to replace the windscreen and said that it is for a different car (my personal car). The technician cannot do anything as he got the wrong size of windscreen. I called again today and have spoken to “Mick” and explain about the situation, he is right when he says that there is no booking on the company car that I’m using as that is already been mention by the technician that came, but when I mention about my call yesterday to one of his colleague named “Oliver” he said I don’t know anyone on that name. He didn’t even seems to listen about my call on his colleague and didn’t even apologise for the inconvenience caused. He just mention that the job was cancelled and refund was processed and we need to rebook it again. This is after I waited in almost or more than an hour after the technician told me someone will call me and no one did. I called them and told them the situation.

Terrible service received. Appointment took weeks to book, and then they cancelled, via text message, 48 hours prior to the appointment date. The following appointment was booked, without my confirmation, for a further two weeks time. So I have lost the use of my only vehicle for a month. Don't bother using the message facility they provide - no one will ever get back to you. I would recommend that this company is avoided at all costs!

If only I could give zero stars! I unfortunately had to use this company through my insurance. The technician broke the first screen on fitting which meant I had to delay my lease car being collected, costing me nearly £150. Their customer service centre is absolutely appalling. You can’t get through to anyone, you request call backs that never come, an absolute shambles of a company that don’t value their customers at all. I suspect if they weren’t affiliated to insurance companies they wouldn’t have any customer.

I had my back window smashed last Sunday, I was told it would be 10 days for a rear windscreen. Then the operator cancelled my order, it's now 7 days in and I can't rebook, they don't return a call & I've no idea when I'm getting a new windscreen. Police offered me "victim support therapy" I was fine, now I feel I need the therapy after dealing with this company. Incredably stressful and avoid if possible.

Wouldn’t use this company again, waited 5 days for a replacement only to be informed on the morning of the fitting it will be another 7 days before they will attend, disgraceful.

Very disappointing service, didnt follow any covid rules, no mask or sanitation. Then just to make matters worse they needed to drive my car to calibrate the cameras, only to abuse that and accelerate my car hard down a 30mph road which you could hear due to it being X4M. Confronted him, for him to reply, i didn't accelerate that fully! Only to be told my their manager, that they understand what hes probably done, because hes young and gave in to temptation. Personally think this is a disgusting excuse, these are clients cars, not theirs to abuse!! I would avoid if they send you kids out.

Even 1 star is too much! I have been waiting for a replacement windscreen for 4 months now! I have been promised 3 dates,the first I actually got up at 6 to get to my time slot at 9-30,as I was told that if I was late,I would miss my slot! Had a terrible journey in,only to be told that my glass hadn't come in yet! I had an appointment for October 15th,only to be told less than a day before that there was no glass,then told my glass would be in for November 29th! STILL WAITING!!! THE COMPANY IS A JOKE! They just do not care about the customer,obviously they are in with so many insurers,they don't give a damn!!!

Avoid this terrible company if at all possible. I have had to wait 2 weeks for this disaster of a company to pull their finger out and do a small chip in my screen, I can only believe that it is the office/admin staff that have no concept of time. First, I have been forced to use this useless company by my insurance. The insurance company (I assume) are getting a greasy palm from Auto Windscreens, or are the cheap and nasty company of the industry. The member of staff that turned up to do the repair was on time and efficient. I have no complaints regarding this. However, the staff at the central office couldn't organise a drinking competition in a brewery. I have now had to contact the central office 4 times. None of the staff I have had the misfortune to deal with showed any knowledge or idea that they knew what was going on. I was passed around the phone system, cut off and generally shown how poorly this inept company is run. Finally, I spoke to a manager. I can now see that they are hiring even worse mangers than phone operators. He stated that a 2-week wait is normal. So how is it that Auto Glass can do the same repair in 24 hours? I have tested this by calling their operations centre. Speaking to the tech' that carried out the repair, he said that the office can't schedule to save their lives. On average the travel time per day is 4 hours. There is no wonder the tech's are unable to offer a reliable service. To make matters worse, you can see the repair. But what else did I expect for such a poor company. Rubbish. I have lodged a complaint with auto windscreens, let's see if the office staff can deal with this in a timely manner or if the industry ombudsman will be needed. I'm not holding my breath.

The worst company I have ever had contact with. They inform you last minute that no technician available so they re-arrange your appointment. It happened already twice for one appointment, last time when car was only 2 days before MOT. In general 3 weeks with no windscreen replacement.. Return money back after appointment cancellation takes up to 12 days. I do not recommend for anyone to waist the time for such unprofessional and poor service.

Auto windscreens cancelled my appointment as "they could not contact me" despite sending 2 emails. I have spent at least 1 hour on the phone. There we no one to take responsibility, no supervisor or manager willing to speak to me I was just told we will have to re book the appointment. Not the first time this has happened.
