Don’t be misled by the positive reviews you may see online—their real service shows itself only when you encounter issues with their products. I recently had my windscreen replaced through an insurance claim. Although my insurance company approved a genuine Discovery Sport windscreen, they installed a low-quality aftermarket version instead. The defect in the windscreen was immediately apparent. Rebooking an appointment to fix it was a nightmare, as no one seemed to know what they were doing. When I requested the genuine part for the reinstallation, they demanded an extra £150 on top of what I had already paid. It's clear they prioritize using the cheapest option available. I can't recommend their service. They wasted my time.

Horrendous company. Failed to turn up to first appointment, claiming GDPR prevented them from contacting the driver who had driven past. That driver submitted fake motes stating he had spoken to me but couldn't fit the screen, which was untrue - he hadn't stopped. They later would accuse me of cancelling when the lies they had woven got to tangled to talk their way our of. When they finally come to fit the screen, the guy was very quiet. Stated he would be a hour and nothing else was said. He fitted the screen - I went to clear the car of sealant after as the dash was covered and discover that I now have tinted windows and a clear front! It makes the car look cheap! It is a clear as Auto Windscreens not having a care in the world for quality or customer service. Awful company, and if it is a choice - it is probably cheaper for you to pay a professional fitter than use these insurance cowboys that fit what they want, how they want, damage the paintwork and couldn't car less.

Absolutely Disgraceful. AutoWindscreens were instructed to carry out a Screen replacement service via my insurer. Firstly, the supplied replacement is of poor quality, with clearly visible faults (Fitter continued with the installation regardless). In addition, said fitter caused significant damage to my vehicles bodywork, removing paint from the bonnet, roof, and a-pillar. He then applied etch primer to the damaged areas, in attempt to conceal them (making them considerably worse). The interior of the vehicle was also left covered in black sealant, and the fitter was seen sitting and kneeling on the dashboard of the vehicle throughout the “repair”. I have all of this on CCTV, and would be happy to share it, should anyone require clarification on the level of service they should expect from this company. Total estimate for repairs stands at over £1300, and a week later, I am still waiting for contact from their “Customer Service Team” in relation - In other words, they do not care, and I expect we’ll be setting this at court. Avoid like the plague.

After a month of making an initial booking for a replacement screen and paying my £100 excess fee this company has failed to serve me...I have had 2 appointments at my local fitting centre in Ipswich cancelled twice which caused me to waste two days holiday from work, they then left me in the dark for another week with no updates as to what was happening which led me to make the decision to cancel the whole booking I am now waiting for my £100 to be refunded and I will most probably have to chase that up aswell..avoid this company it's not worth the frustration and inconvenience....totally unacceptable

Auto Windscreens are without doubt the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of having to deal with. Over the course of 6 weeks and a litany of errors they completely failed to replace my cracked windscreen. I had to take holiday leave and use my own time TWICE to visit their install depot. The first time they ordered completely the wrong glass, the second time I attended and the glass simply hadn’t been ordered. They promised an installer would attend my house the next day. Eventually after waiting all day somebody did attend at 16:30, took out the old cracked windscreen only to find the new glass was too big and wouldn’t fit so they had to put the cracked windscreen back in, causing more damage in the process and glass everywhere which I then had to clear up. To make matters worse over the course of 6 weeks Auto Windscreens couldn’t be bothered to contact me, leaving me to phone them and do all the work chasing them to try and find out what was happening. The irony is that their phone line is always busy and whilst on hold I am forced to listen to pre-recorded lies about how they are industry leaders with a 97% review score, able to supply and fit ALL types of vehicle glass. Oh well, lies, lies and damn statistics. I complained to their customer service department hoping form some form of good will gesture for all the time and effort wasted, but got nothing. PLEASE if you have a choice save yourself the hassle and DO NOT USE AUTO WINDSCREENS. They are simply an APPALLING company with zero customer service skills and a don’t give a damn attitude. AVOID Auto Windscreens.

I took my car into the Milton Branch today. We were very early and we were welcomed by a gentleman who said we could wait inside. The gentleman turned up on time. It was a lovely atmosphere as you heard the staff whistling and busily loading there vans. The windscreen looks like new and the windscreen wipers work like a dream. Thank you so much.

This lot seem to be a bunch of amateurs, received a text message to tell me that an appointment had been made for me at the Warrington depot at 7.15am, it was for a windscreen replacement, thinking that the time was a bit strange, I contacted them, they confirmed it, but when I got there, it was shut, after ringing them again, they said it would be open at 8am, but it didn't, after I checked their emails, it stated that they open at 9am, why would I get an appointment for 7.15 then? A case of, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing. Wasted over 3hrs of my life & fuel, was told someone would phone me, but no one has, as expected I suppose, no one man enough to hold their hand up to the mistake.

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.
