Went to screen fit appt 40 mile round trip, they ordered a bmw screen for my audi A5. So waste time. Raised formal complaint which nowbody managed to update me for a week. Ever since auto lights and auto wipers dont work as they broke the plastic unit, seen by me and another auto w engineer, but they fitted it anyway. Now waiting for part so going to be a month without these. Awful customer service and fitting. Avoid avoid.

Was good with booking and getting the windscreen in. But the gentleman that come to replace my broken windscreen couldn't re fit my wind wiper. He said he was unable to but I would be compensated or another engineer would come out to resolve the issue with I had no is with and was fine with. After 2 months of trying to solve this problem. I got told oh no sorry we can only apologise as we would leave this up to you. Our guy couldn't undo the bolts. Before calling these out make sure they can leave your car fully equipped. Manager at Croydon was just useless.

Staff at Dundee shop fitted the windscreen on second visit and so far so good. But I would not use Auto Windscreens again because of the booking process. It was the site my insurance recommended. I had to wait 11 days for an appointment, booked home visit then got a call to say due to Windscreen type I needed to go to shop. Arrived at shop and they had wrong windscreen had to wait another week , 40 mile round trip. Both times appointments booked and given a date but no time. The time is sent by text after 4pm the day before appointment! Who do they think this will suit apart from themselves? How can you plan time away from work when you don't know the appointment time? Not customer friendly at all.

Cracked windscreen reported to Auto Windscreen after a slightly frustrating press one for this, two for something else, eventually spoke to an extremely helpful Andrew who arranged an appointment. Chris of Auto Windscreens replaced my Astra windscreen this afternoon. Telephone call from Chris early in the morning to confirm booking plus a later call with estimated time of arrival. A great job done by a friendly, courteous staff member of Auto Screen. Thank you very much.

Took this windscreen company 2 weeks and 3 appointments to replace my windscreen due to cracking it when installing, then not bothering to order the part they need in 7 days after. Cost me hundreds of pounds in Ubers over this two weeks. Nobody apologised, I had to log a complaint and chase it as they keep choosing to ignore me. Have now offered me TWENTY FIVE POUNDS back, and now ignored me for a further week. DO NOT USE AUTO WINDSCREENS. Overall, a VERY UPSETTING experience. No customer care whatsoever either.

Winsdscreen fitted - would have to wait another week if wanted done at home so had to do a 40 mile round trip. Didn’t realise till I started driving home, but there is a grey cement type glue all my dash. No attempt to clean it! Very poor! Only used them as made to by insurance company. Would not recommend.

Avoid. Aftermarket windscreen incorrectly fitted, had to be refitted. Replacement windscreen not compatible with car auto-wiper functions, & not exact fit. AW Customer Service phone service very slow, and emails ignored. Straight answers not given.

11 DAYS FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE WINDSCREEN!! 11 days for an appointment to replace my windscreen - 10 days if I drive 35 miles to a 'service centre'. I am a self employed driver and can not use my vehicle for 11 days! The vehicle is not safe to drive as it is so I will loose two weeks earnings. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! AutoGlass said they could do it in three hours!!! Date of experience: 16 October 2023

ROMFORD BRANCH The worst company i have ever dealt with, came round to replace glass, the so called technician, was sticking metal hooks and hoover pipes down inside the door, then he slammed it full force 7 or 8 times. then he announced the mechanism was broke and there was nothing he could do till i got it fixed, he had tested the mechanism before he started and it was working, after he bashed and poked the door it was not working, he didn't want to accept responsibility and drove away still leaving me with no glass. the stupid secretary rang me to say it wasn't his fault, the manager of the Romford branch didn't have the decency to phone me, I have had numerous conversations with them, they don't listen, they keep promising me to phone back, they never do, last spoke to them at 11 am this morning, said I'll phone you back in a minute, 3 hours later ...nothing. They have no regards for the customer or their shoddy workmanship, and its never their fault, I have been without a drivers glass door for 8 days, with no sign of them fixing what they broke, No reliable customer service, an all round bad company, it was the insurance that had them come round, i will not be insuring with Aviva again, who are saying its up to me to sort it with Auto-windscreens, not least its their contractor, Deal with this shoddy company at your displeasure.

Been waiting 10 days to book a fitting, Chat facility slow and could not provide an update, Hub did not work, just reported an error. Tried ringing - waited 18 min to talk to operator. Operator informed me that if I had accepted a after-market replacement windscreen they could give me a fitting date. As I requested an original part they had no indication of time on how long I would need to wait or even if my insurance would cover the cost. ref 12547979

Dear Sir/madem , I feel really disappointed with the service I received, explained below. -Reported for repair on Sunday for broken passengers side window -Appointment confirmed on Monday evening by text for Tuesday 11:00 and -No update from Technician or Customer services until 13:30 - Technician arriving 14:30 hopefully - as Driving Instructor I lost 3hr of lesson worth £120.00 - At least they have let me know that Technician gonna be late in the morning so that I don't need to wait for 3and half hr, also I would have give lesson in the morning - No care or value for customers - I wouldn't recommend this Services to anyone who has value of their time it's really frustrating Lalit Mall 07456 509313

Hi, Having paid on the 6 June and waited for 25 days on the 31st you were a no show. Phoning up and waiting 47 minutes to find out why, I was told it was due to sickness. Thanks for letting me know. Rebooked for 21 August, nearly 2 months waiting, I made a further complaint. Miraculously an appointment was found for today 3rd August. Taking a second day off, at a cost of 2 days @ £200 each. It has cost me £400 plus the £70 excess. It’s now 1600hrs and again a no show. No communication at all. Appalling service. I am referring this back to my insurers for a refund of the excess and the additional cost in the policy.

Had to go via this crowd due to being insured through AA, after a smash and grab needed driver's window replaced took 2 days not an issue. Man that came to do job was great but there was a problem with window not closing properly afterwards. He took it out cleared and tried again. Couldn't calibrate full closure of window. Then had company on phone looking for excess fee I explained I wasn't happy as it's not closing as it should. So not happy paying excess at present. Then 20 mins later had a phone call from some monkey threatening me with taking me to debt collector.cant believe this outfit and the attitude of the Muppet in the office. As if I wasn't stressed enough after the break in. He said I have to go to main dealer which means paying out more money!!!! Looking at the reviews it seems they're not all that. But needs must sadly I didn't have the money to pay outright had to go through insurance. Really makes me angry why do I bother paying for insurance 🤬

100.00 deposit before even making the booking,money taken instantly,Refund 7-10 working days because i canceled after waiting 10 days for a appointment and then only to be told they couldn't get the right glass.Rang 2 other glass companies and a main dealer to be told 2 days fitted. Only used as insurance related and not my own choice.

The whole experience of dealing with this catastrophe of a company is stressful and infuriating. They are so arrogantly dismissive of customers they make British Gas look slick and caring. I feel they are going bust. Their website is faulty and unhelpful They NEVER answer the phone. They DONT respond to Twitter request Email response is by AI and so fails to respond to a complaint. Not one attempt in calling them has been less than 50minutes I have driven fifteen miles and sat outside one of their depots only to have their own technicians agree absolutely with everything above and to confirm that they have the same problems with them. If you have any other options for glass replacement then you must use it, you really have to avoid engaging with this company. They haven’t yet fitted my windscreen. Non existent customer service. They make me feel like mishandled baggage.
