Took some time to answer my telephone call (hence 4 stars instead of 5) but operator was most helpful. Martin (fitter)kept me informed of booking BT phone and texts and arrived promptly. Explained everything in detail and was very courteous.

Very poor service it's been two weeks so far for them to replace my windscreen supposed to be fitted last week bit someone entered my car details wrong your end so turned up with the wrong screen so rescheduled for today but I get a call from an Indian I couldn't understand telling me I have to wait another 9 day till they can do it so I'm still driving round with a nasty crack the whole length of my windscreen with my 4 and 7 year old in the car terrible service I'm now going to call my insurance company and request to use some one else

After waiting over 30 minutes before I spoke to an adviser I told that the earliest appointment was in 5 weeks time! I called autoglass up straight over and waited less than 4 minutes to speak with someone who booked my windscreen to be done 2 days later at a cheaper price and also they could go through my insurance company. Have complained to my insurance company and said for them not to use auto windscreens anymore as they are appalling!!! My advise go straight to autoglass!!

I can't comment on their ability to replace windscreens as they apparently failed to allocate someone to my job, I found this out after waiting for 5 hours for them to turn up in the 8-1pm slot I had booked. Their response to this (and I'd waited 2 weeks for the appointment) was that they'd need to reschedule a new appointment at the next available slot, there was no urgency from their perspective, no, I'll see if we can get someone round today/urgently as we'd made a mistake... nothing bar a slightly lame "sorry". Then they couldn't tell me when the next slot would be as their system was down, so they said they would escalated the call to the local branch, when I asked how long it would be until I heard from them the response was "I don't know, it depends on how busy they are" over 24 hours later, their 365, 24x7 service has failed to call me and I'm guessing I won't hear from them either. Time for me to call my insurance company and see if I can get another company to complete the job as these guys have no concept of customer service.

Just had my windscreen replaced and was very pleased with Cody, the engineer who completed the job - courteous, knowledgeable and technically skilled he had the work done in quick time with no fuss or errors and gave me good, clear advice concerning when I could drive the vehicle, time for windscreen to set, etc. Excellent operative who clearly flies the flag for Auto Windscreens.

I have been messed around by these cowboys since sept 15 and still don't have the screen fixed . They turned up this Saturday but didn't bring the windscreen with then ! last visit was the same . previous to that they replaced the cracked screen with a chipped one and split black mastic over the interior trim !!! I never get a call back from them , they even hang up on you !.....AVOID AT ALL COST

This company is extremely bad and I have never had such bad customer service before. I wasted three days annual leave as they failed to turn up initially and cancelled my appointment with an hours to go of my scheduled installation time (wasting a day of my Annual Leave) They rescheduled for a week and half later and turned up with the wrong screen (even though i phoned originally and said could you bring a heated screen as well as the standard version). The Engineer was helpful and said he would order the correct screen. Turned up for a 3rd appointment and right type of screen, wrong colour. The engineer said he re-order the right colour, which he was going to do, but advised me fitting would be 4th March 2016 (nearly a month later). The company clearly can't meet any targets or customer expectation. I've escalated to my insurance company now and I have another company coming this week to fit the screen. My advise is avoid this company at all costs and ask your insurance company for an alternate fitter.

Received a phone call from Michael (Reference number - 8739340) at 10:20 to say he was on route. After only taking about 30 minutes to complete the replacement windscreen, he was gone. Very efficient and understanding man! The job was done quickly and successfully. I would definitely recommend Auto Windscreens.

Don't touch them with a barge pole! My rear windscreen was completely shattered. I called Auto Windscreens (via my insurer) at 8.50am 4th February and today 8th February, even though my case has apparently been prioritised, I haven't received a call back. As my car was open to the aftermath of storm Henry and the pending storm Imogen I had no alternative other than to employ a local repairer (who did the job within 4 hours of my call) and take the financial hit. AVOID

Had a Cracked windscreen before Christmas 2015, Again like other people told that I could only use Auto Windscreens, the best they could do was 5 weeks 19th January 2016, the guy turned up midday, Nice bloke, he had come from Peterborough to the East of Suffolk over 100 miles away, when they say they have a depot in Norwich, 30 miles away. Fitted screen and I noticed there was a scratch on the inside, he tried to polish it out but could not do it so phoned up his depot to organise a replacement screen to be fitted, they said it would take two weeks and it got booked in again on the 8th February? Taken another day off work and low and behold no one has contacted me to say anyone is coming, and I have spent 1 hr on their 24hr 365 day contact number and all I get is that all there advisers are busy and thank you for calling, that’s at 2am on Sunday the 7th Feb, still on phone so do not hold much hope of getting anywhere ore anyone turning up tomorrow. Disgraceful service, I will get someone else to replace the screen and send the bill to them, as this is the second day I have lost a day’s pay.

Windscreen was cracked and i was advised hat i could only use Auto Windscreen by my insurer. Rang them and the best they could do is 4 WEEKS.. Contacted insurer and they managed to get the appointment changed to 2 weeks.. Today was supposed to be the day i had it repaired.. AND GUESS WHAT.. No show from Auto Windcreens.. Rang them and chased and was told that the engineer was not working today.. SO iam back to square one... They are the worst company i have ever had the misfortune to deal with..

Given job by my insurers at 9.57. No contact from them all day as a result vehicle was left unsecured overnight. Given no indication of when the job was likely to get done with the excuse that they were extremely busy and had no tech in the area. Do not use.

Absolutely awful customer service. More than 3 hour wait and still no answer when trying to rearrange windscreen replacement date. No confirmation of first appointment sent and insurance details still not validated by auto windscreens can only put this down to slack protocol or laziness. Have now give up and going to let them show up with nobody at address and waste their time after all it seems they are not actually that bothered.

If I could give Auto Windscreens no stars I would!have never been treated so appallingly by any company ever??.I had to wait 30 hours for a passinger window which was vandalised,spoke to my insurance at 7.45am they told me my car would be repaired the same day?? After numerous phone calls and being on hold for a total of 2 hours 3 calls given several different times for the day it was supposed to be repaired.I was informed by customer services at 18.15 that they were sorry my car couldn't be repaired the same day but??I explained my concerns at my car being exposed another night,and was told if I covered it I would be lucky as it probably wouldn't get broken in to again??? Then never turned up on the agreed time the next day I had to make several more phone calls.When I eventually spoke to the repair guy he really wasn't interested?Definitely would not use again.

Waited 10 days Technician arrived to say he had the wrong windscreen! He said it happens all the time and it was the fault of admin staff. Re scheduled. To fit new windscreen another 10 days later technician arrived to say weather too bad to fit! He also said that office staff often get wrong details ! I have spent hours trying to get a response from Autowindscreens finally got an answer to say Next possible slot is another 10 days! Let us hope the weather is mild on the 9th! Maybe one day! What a disastrous badly run company!
