Excellent service involving contact before technician arrived and despite phone signal problems in rural Aberdeenshire a prompt arrival meant the replacement was completed before deadline by polite and well resourced staff (Kevin from Inverness). I was very pleased with the whole operation and would not hesitate to recommend.

I actually had a terrible experience with auto windscreens, but a gentleman called Dan based in West Sussex, was under the impression he had come round to get rid of broken glass and put a new back window in, little did Dan know a man came out three weeks prior to do so. Unfortunately Dan had to pick up the inexperienced work that had already been done on my brand new car. He had to start from scratch. This is a review for Dan who was brilliant not auto windscreens as first man who attended did not even put on the computer that i only needed 1 black trim. Therefore a window was wasted. As when Dan came round he had to re do it all. I also think the customer service is applauding. I rang up every night. Passed from pillar to post getting no where. Requested to speak to a manager who said they would call me back and never did!!! I feel that I was treated awfully as a customer.. This review is for Dan for doing an amazing job

Had no choice in using these because done through Axa Insurance who are also useless. Waited 4 weeks for thr incorrect windscreen to arrive after receiving a crack in my old one. The fitter ordered the correct one plus two side windscreen trims. Waited a further 3 weeks for correct screen to arrive but no side trims arrived. Glass fitted ok but fitter cracked plastic scuttle panel but denied it. Complained to manager but got nowhere. Absolute apalling service and will never use again. Would insure through someone who used national windscreens. Do not use these repairers.

i had a small leak a few months after a new windcreen was fitted, which happens, a revisit was made to sute me, the fitter arrived with in the time slot, and sorted the fault out, not all the fault of the origonal windcreen install 50/50, a good resault each way, fantastic, nothing was to much trouble, he removed the screen sorted the issue and refitted, so thorough, impressive i recomend using this company.

I've had a terrible experience with Autowind Screens. Waited 4 days to even get an appointment yet I'm told I'm on the priority list. Rang time and time again and was told 'Some one from your local shop will contact you' each time and that would never happen. What's the point in paying insurance if you don't get what you're paying for when you want it? A lady I spoke to today (Leonie, I think) has been the only one to be helpful and try and contact my local shop for me and get some sort of appointment arranged. I've not been able to go to work once this week with out my car and it has been a huge inconvenience. Absolutely appalled at the service I have received, you're probably better off getting your window fixed elsewhere.

I was directed to use Auto Windscreens by my insurer (SAGA). The initial interaction was less than satisfactory (hard to book a specific day and time to have my windscreen replaced; lack of call back; offered a slot that did not meet my availability). Persistence on my part paid off and I was given a slot at the Kidlington, Oxford centre that worked for me - although it should not be this hard. The fitting of the windscreen however was excellent and the fitter courteous and did a perfect job. For me the outcome was good; the initial engagement was not good and should be improved.

So auto windscreens was the company working with my insurance company when i want to make a windscreen claim. at first i was a bit worried because they had quite a few bad reviews, but even if you look at the most well known companies they seems to have a similar review ratio, so i though - since im booked in with them now may as well give them a shot, they text the day before all the relevant information, including a time slot and who my technicians would be, and they arrived 10 minutes early - since it was a morning slot this was especially nice. The technicians were both friendly and professional, answering any questions that I had, so i left them to it. after less than 30 minutes they had completed the job, I inspected the job and it looked very good, I could find no faults. although I do believe partly it was so quick was because it was on a commercial vehicle (mercedes sprinter ) which they said was much easier than a car. I waited the 1 hour before driving the van and everything looks good. I want to say don't be put off just because they are less well known that autoglass. If you look at the reviews for almost any of the well known companies you'll see they seem to have a similar amount of good/bad, i would imagine this is down to the nature of the work, some windscreens being more difficult to fit than others.

reporting cracked windscreen was straitforward. appointment made was kept, except the fitter called to ask if he could come earlier than planned. work carried out to a high standard with minimum of fuss. pleased with work.

Waited nearly a month for my appointment to replace a cracked windscreen, he eventually arrived an hour after the latest time he said he would be there. After setting up discovered the new screen was scratched and promised to come back following day with a new screen. Received phone call to say new screen was also scratched and that a new appointment would have to be made. Goodness knows when?

Had my appointment today, was given a 2 hour time slot and received a call 20 mins before arrival. Andy was great, turned up and the chip was fixed in 10 mins. When I went back to look I struggled to find where it had been, really pleased with the result. Was also given a heads up that it's not guaranteed to pass an MOT before the work was carried out which I appreciated.

Read a lot of negative reviews and was very worried about letting them replace the windscreen of my nearly new car. Since my insurer did not allow me any other choice i had to use Auto windscreen. What a pleasure, the day I booked, i got a text confirming the date, the day before the date of replacement I got a text confirming the 2 hr slot. The man 'Luis' his name was, gave me a ring confirming that he would be coming in 15 mins on the day of replacement. Absolute professional service, polite, replaced screen in about 2 hrs, cleaned the screen and the car dashboard, took all the rubbish away, gave a receipt for lifelong warranty of Windscreen. Could not have asked for anything better. I would certainly recommend them to any of my friends.

Rear window of my son's van was smashed on a Wednesday. This is the company our insurers use so we had no choice in the matter. The van is used for work and it could not be used with a broken window as tools need to be carried. I spent nearly 3 days with a phone attached to my head trying to get a repair arranged. Finally got an appointment arranged on the Saturday for the following Tuesday. A total of 6 working days lost. A complaint was raised and the magnificent sum of £20 was offered in compensation.
