Arranged for a windscreen to be replaced via an insurance claim to a Mercedes Sprinter. They did what they said they would do, so no arguments there. 2-3 weeks later the windscreen cracked from the centre bottom, protected by the bonnet, and across, about 200mm up. Informed them and they arranged for the screen to be replaced under warranty. Fitter arrives to do the job and refuses as he claims there is impact damage and leaves. Photo's taken and company contacted again. Spoke to Craig Shipley in the call centre, went through the issue and offered to send photo's but he had his own and agreed that there was no impact damage and the screen would be replaced. Fitter arrives and refuses to do the work. Craig Shipley contacted, whose attitude has totally changed, and he refuses to do the work. Complaint logged with company and a response was made from them, leaving a message, from an unknown and un named male, who informed me that they would not be replacing the screen, but more than happy to charge me again for it. Typical negative response from a huge company, whose attitude developed into one of no interest, refusing to accept any form of liability for faulty goods and making claims that they have not offered to substantiate. Now I am left with a van which will fail it's MOT tomorrow due to the unprofessionalism of Auto windscreen personnel. I have had no opportunity to try to resolve it with them because they simply refuse liability, that's it, end of story. Waste of time and effort.

After a false start (wrong parts, apparently) and several days later, new screen fitted by Dan. Personable young man who was cheerful and got on with it. Screen fitted was kind of an upgrade being a top tint so I was well chuffed. Have used this company before many moons ago and they are still one of the best out there. Cheers!

Auto windscreens made me happy because of the professionalism of the fitter. Very good job and great communication throughout. Trevor really knew what he was doing and was a pleasure to meet. If all your fitters are as friendly and helpful, then you have a great team.

Wrong glass ordered for a start! Then when they finally did the job a clip came out of the widow as I put it up causing the window to jam on an angle half in the door. I've now had 3 days off work to have this window fitted correctly and I'm self employed so I don't get paid for this. This wasn't an insurance job I payed for this expensive work myself and at the cost of 3 days off too. Customer services offered me an apology that's it. I wouldn't use this company again and neither will my friends and family.

The appointment was made by a polite and helpful lady on the customer helpline for today, as promised I received a text giving and approximate time the day before, and following that the windscreen technician, Dan, called me this morning to confirm a time within the quoted time scale. He called again to let me know he was running a little late and would be 20 minutes, he arrived 15 minutes later. Dan was polite and following a quick survey of the car for existing damage began work, He was careful to protect both interior and exterior surfaces of the area to be worked on and explained any all items thoroughly to me as the work proceeded. Finally he cleaned all effected areas, and explained the time scale before the car can be driven as well as to take care with cleaning the car by hand for a couple of days and not to use pressure washers for a week. All in all a fast and efficient service that I would highly recommend. Thank you.

Received a text saying appointment 9.45 to 11.45 then get a phone call the next day from the fitter to say he will be with me 10.00 - 1.00 i told him i have a text saying its 9.45 - 11.45 he said that is wrong and he has 2 jobs before - well I've arranged my schedule around the text i received the day before at 2pm! call auto windscreens CS and they are as much help as a chocolate teapot! i have to go get my kids from school and leave my work at 2.30pm so if he doesn't arrive in time I'm screwed! i told them I'm leaving at 2.30 latest and if it hasn't had time to bond any damage caused to the vehicle or windscreen is there responsibility! the fitter said he will be with me at 11.30 but if he doesn't get to me until 1pm then with 1hr to fit max and 1 hr to bond that takes me to 3pm then I'm late and missed kids collection! NOT HAPPY!

This is the second time I have had to use this company to replace the screen on my Range Rover, not an easy job for them apparently, twice they failed to fit I because it was raining, if they had been on time for he first appointment it would have been fitted before it rained!!!! The second time, two weeks later, cannot do it because it's raining, third time cannot do it as have the Wrong Screen......

I paid for this windscreen my self because this bunch of gunners never do what they promise to do! Day of fitting I had to pay for the screen because they never rung the person who was going to pay for it, (They had over a week before fitting to ring the person and take payment and never got back to me to say they had not taken payment?) New screen was fitted scratched so rearranged to fit another one? They arrive Saturday but was raining so can not fit it? pop up gazebos are a good thing to have because apparently Autoglass do not work in the rain so come winter time they don't work I guess? Big Company and pop up gazebos cost £200 and can be erected with one hand in seconds? I RECOMMEND YOU GO GET YOUR SELFS A COUPLE. Rearranged for another Saturday and taking in mind I run a business to and are loosing money rearranging customers or customers taking the hump because I can not fit them in on a Saturday because autobodge can not do the job right in the first place. Saturday came again taking in mind it is now 4 to 5 weeks since I first contacted autobodge I got a phone call sat morning to tell me the fitter was ill? omg autobodge has lost me 3 Saturdays work up to now and still left with a scratched windscreen! Next Saturday appointment was not till 27th October omg, I AM SURE IF IT WAS NOT WARRANTY WORK I WOULD OF GOT IT DONE FAR SOONER. I asked for my money back so I can go else where to sort it out because they are costing me a lot of money each Saturday they are not turning up! Was told customer services would get back to me? still waiting?

But this has become nothing but a joke from a cowboy company. I had my windscreen replaced by auto windscreens through my insurance. This was all well and good. Cost me £75 excess. Not an issue. I payed there and then on the phone.. 4 weeks later. Yes 4 weeks with a crack the entire length of the windscreen. It was replaced. They then tried to charge me £157 EXTRA because I didn't have windscreen cover.. which I did. Proof sent problem solved. The technician snapped a piece of the trim holding the windscreen down.. no problem just replace it. Technician came round to investigate.. clearly no trim and snapped clips still in place. 7 weeks later after having no communication I emailed them asking for answers. I then later recieved and phonecall today.. and offered £10 would be payed to replace the trim as they couldn't find one to replace themselves. Then to make things even better I'm then told that because I have another car that is similar.. I can take parts off that to fix the problem they have caused me in the first place? So over 7 weeks.. I'm with missing bits. And a company that won't replace the part.. but offer £10 and take bits of my other car to fix it. Auto windscreens have given me nothing but issues. Problem after problem. The customer service team are nothing but damn right disrespectful. The technician needs to go back to school if plastic trim was 'rusty'. Your loyalty to your customers is a joke. I'll be posting this round all social media. Including photos of the emails sent. Cheers ????

Archie travelled across Scotland to install my new screen. It was a delight to meet someone who is totally committed to providing excellent service however far they have to travel!

Zero stars... Customer service, my bottom!!! 3 appointments made, 1 cancelled at short notice, 1 trueness up but without all the items needed and 1 turned up later than the agreed time slot without notification!!! I complained, got a letter responding to the complaint saying that they were satisfied with the outcome of the complaint and the next thing I know I'm receiving letters from a debt collection agency!!! Bloody poor show and will be writing bad reviews about this company wherever I can!! Now, on completing this review, I find that I have to leave at least 1 star.... Trust me, they aren't that good

I had a technician come to my home in Manchester named Dave from Liverpool, he was very welcoming and friendly and informed me every step of the way. He come on time and only took about an hour and a half to fit in 2 windows. Dave should be praised for his hard work in the company and I would definitely recommend Auto Windscreens.
