I am delighted with the service I got from Auto Windscreens. I contacted the Edinburgh branch and an appointment was made for the next day, When the engineer arrived he immediately recognised that he didn't have the right glass for my smashed back windscreen he called his company and found out that they had one in stock in Glasgow,I live in Fife, he said he would drive to Glasgow and back to fit it later. This incurred a 3 hour journey and when he got back he fitted the new windscreen superbly. He was an extremely nice and friendly man who went the extra mile for me. I am very impressed

After being spoke to by a very rude lady at customer service who was not helpful at all, I was going to find somewhere else to have my windscreen done. As soon as I put the phone down, I had a phone call and a very helpful man said he could get my windscreen done on Monday which was fantastic. Due to the bad weather, I had a phone call on Monday saying it would not be possible to have the work done, the same day I had a phone call and was able to re book for Wednesday, which I received a text message to confirm the appointment and time. Wesley was efficient and got the job done well and phoned me to tell me what time he was due to arrive, very impressed after a bad start from customer service. I would recommend.

George came out and replaced my kia windscreen. His level of attention, knowledge and sevice are to be recommended. He had me ready for hometime within a couple of hours. I have no hesitation in recommending auto windscreens.

Avoid if at all possible. They specialise in terrible customer service and the fast, sloppy fit of parts. After 2 months of phone calls, I finally managed to get them to use the correct (manufacturer) glass for the car, the manufacturer glass at my cost under an insurance replacement. I pay for this over the phone, several hundred pounds. First attempt at replacement: text me the day before to set a time (great), arrived late (bad). Gave the chap tea and biscuits and he set to work. 90 mins later, the glass was in the car. It was squint, not sealed fully to car, scuttle damaged and not sitting correctly, seal not in properly, some of the plastic trim scratched (terrible). At least he admitted it wasn't acceptable. In the process, the parking permit for the car was also removed with the old glass and not taken off. I phone customer services to express my dissatisfaction. Someone will come out in a week to have a look. Every time it rains, the inside of the car gets wet. I write the details for the parking permit in the window but still get parking tickets every second day. For the assessment, at 5pm the day before I have to phone to see that they are still coming. They are, given a time over the phone. Fitter arrives late. Takes one look and says thats a crappy job and needs redone. And goes away. Phone customer services AGAIN to schedule the re-replacement. Another two weeks. It still rains, the car still gets wet. The parking attendants still give me tickets. The second replacement, the day before 5pm, have heard nothing. Phone customer support. Told that yes it is tomorrow and will be text'd a time. Fitter arrives 1hr late. Given tea and biscuits, gets to work. 90 minutes later, the glass is in. Square at least. Scuttle not sitting perfectly. Seal round the screen nothing like as neat as the "factory" result before (and that I had paid for). Trim still scratched. Invoice arrives in the post. They had over-charged the card. Phone Customer Support. Again. They say oh yes, we have overcharged you. Request a refund. Told that it will be run next day. Two weeks later (the most a bank could take on an incoming payment), still nothing. Phone customer support. The refund has been "requested" and the accounting team has done nothing about it. The saga goes on. I am shocked that such a dis-functional, poorly performing business exists in the UK today.

From my first contact with the Company I was kept informed of arrangements and the fitter, Michael, arrived exactly at the time agreed. He made me aware of my options and offered sound advice. The repair to my windscreen was carried out very satisfactorily and the fitter was most efficient and pleasant. Thank you Mike

10 days ago my car was broken into - usual unfortunate stuff. Called my insurer who assign all glass related items to AutoWindscreens. It is an american vehicle, so a bit of a pain for parts, I checked on progress with AutoWindscreens and they said they couldn't locate the glass. After about 10 calls I tracked down one which they should have been able to themselves, but no matter - I was more incentivised than they were I guess. That was 8 days ago and they still have not ordered the glass - systems - procedures. Said I had to have an appointment for them to order the glass - and what happened in the end - they ordered the glass without an appointment. So I will end up with no car for 3 weeks - no courtesy car - lots of sorry's, . Avoid - the only thing they did efficiently was take my £70 surplus charge.!

***AVOID AT ALL COSTS*** The seals around my windscreen failed within a day of my new windscreen being fitted. I was then informed by auto glass that this is a 'very common' issue and that the seals are in fact 'cosmetic' and are of no concern - not very professional or reassuring. Then I was made to wait over a week to have his issue rectified receiving a less than helpful tone over the phone. To add to this, on further inspection of the 'cosmetic seals' I found the cuts and finish looked like it had been done by a 5 year old. Massive gap in each corner, no care taken with the preexisting trim. All round very poor service.

Electrical fault to my wife's car, due to poo fitting of windscreen. Seal not correctly applied, leading to water leak through to the control box. Company refuses to accept liability, although VW has provided proof of the root cause and the poor job Auto Windscreens have done.

I had a repair to my windscreen some time ago, it lasted approx 6 months. I contacted auto glass who came out and did a 2nd repair. This has now failed. I called auto glass who informed me that I was entitled to a new windscreen as it was a 3rd fail. They came and informed me they would not fit the windscreen as the fail is not bad enough!! They told me it needed to be cracked! Why? it was a stone chip on the 1st 2 occasions so why now does it need to crack! I have a large stone chip in my window so much so people approach my vehicle and say that needs doing its so bad! I complained to auto glass and now they want to charge me £75 and think this is the answer to my complaint.

Fitted screen incorrectly, damaged rear view mirror and cracked airbox whilst fitted screen. Had to wait 3 months for 2nd replacement screen to be fitted. 10 months later, screen has cracked from the edge, due to poor fitting. An absolute shambles!

Discovered a hairline crack on the windscreen and advised by my Insurers to arrange replacement via Auto Windscreens. Company kept me fully informed on the timeframe agreed for this repair. Due to the high winds and rain on day of repair, Matthew the fitter assigned this job phoned in advance and we agreed to meet at nearby supermarket car park which afforded some cover. Matthew completed the replacement in a little under an hour. No mess at all, job done in a very professional and friendly manner. Would have no hesitation in recommending Auto Windscreens. A first class service. Thanks again Matthew.
