“Booked for a replacement windscreen 4th May 2016 and told that it would be 31st May at the earliest. They told me that i would receive a text the day before from 2:30pm and a phone call on the day, when they are on their way to me. I had neither of these. The guy came inspected my car as usual. And it was only until he took the new pane of glass out of his van to tell me that they had ordered the wrong pane of glass for my car. He then suggested to re book an appointment as he couldn't do anything and it wasn't his fault. I felt disgusted by how the guy wasn't going to and resolve this themselves and his attitude wasn't great either. After a settled debate he packed up and left. I got straight on the phone to their call centre and told them what happened that i wasn't happy. All they could do is apologise (which to me isn't good enough). They re booked for the 20th june but i requested to have first refusal if a cancellation came up. They phoned me the next day to say they could do the job for the 9th, which i accepted, but i didn't want the same guy who came because the lack of good customer service. Well today is 9th June. I had not received a text to estimate when the job was being done. I phoned the call centre once again to establish what time the work will be carried out. The woman said it would be between 2-4pm and that i would have a phone call when they are on their way. Only at 4.03pm did the same guy turn up but didn't get of the van for a further 5 minutes. He knocked on and had a stupid grin on his face. Asked for my keys and told me that the job lot would be done in 45 minutes. During the work being carried out, the guy was on the phone several times, some of those calls were personal as i overheard. The job didn't get finished until 5.15pm . I wasn't happy and thought the guy was cocky. I will not be using this service and will not recommend to anyone either. Very poor service and will complaining to head office about this issue.”

“Absolutely shocking service, wouldn't use this company at all , only useing through insurance cover , let me down 4 times now by not turning up , two days off work , sat around all day and never got in touch with me to tell me they wasn't coming, put a complaint in and told me that it would definitely be completed on the scheduled date , never turned up , what a shower ,still waiting for some kind of service from them after nearly two months and still not got my work done yet , would give them no stars if I could.”

“This is the most ridiculous company i've ever had to deal with, customer service is disgraceful and timings are even worse. I would never use this company in a million years if it wasn't for my insurance company. I had a serious leak in my car after they had changed the windscreen, water was pouring in all over my carpet. They refused to take responsibility even though I never had any problems before they touched my car, it turned out they hadn't put the seals back on properly and there was a clear hole for water to come through. I would not recommend anyone to use this company.”

“If I could give 0 stars, I would. Hastings direct referred me to this company as my rear windscreen was smashed. I made the claim at 8:30pm and was told I would receive a call at 9am following day to book an appointment. Nobody called me. At 1pm I called and after being on hold for 30mins I was told they can't book me in for at least 4 days! I requested a refund immediately. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.”

“Paid Excess, £75, as Lloyds Car Insurance auto forwards calls to them, but you DO NOT have to use them. They said someone would call me to make an appointment. 5 days went past before they bothered to call, too late, already got Lloyds to instruct Auto Glass to do the job, had to pay £75 excess to Auto Glass and can not get Auto Windscreen to refund. You do nothing but HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD for their phones. Looks like they cannot cope, so don't use, ask your insurance company if you can go elsewhere.

“our windscreen had a crack and so we rang our insurance company SAGA and paid our excess £75 and booked a replacement windscreen, we were told that the earliest date was 3 weeks!! not happy we accepted. The day before the appointment my wife received 2 text messages the first saying the name of the fitter and what time to expect him, the second was to say a different fitter and a different time, anyway we were expecting a fitter on the day. The day arrived and a phone call from the fitter to say we were his fifth job and he would be with us in the afternoon. The afternoon arrived no fitter though, then a phone call from SAGA saying he will not be coming and another appointment for the following week!!! Why the fitter could not ring and appologise himself rather than hide behind our insurer is just another reason to avoid Auto Windscreens and SAGA need to review their approved repairers”

“After spending over 4 hours trying to get through to them they asked me to pay the excess of £75 as the claim was going through the Halifax insurance company. After paying the money by debit card they then told me it was a month waiting before they could fit the screen. After various phone calls to the Halifax to complain as my MOT was due in a couple of days Auto windscreens agreed to fit the screen the day before the MOT. I was going to cancel them doing the work and use a more reliable company But as they now gave me a firm date before the MOT I trusted them to carry out the work. On arrival of the windscreen technician, he took one look at the windscreen and said they have sent the wrong one.and we will be in contact. I again tried to get another date to no avail until I again contacted the Halifax insurance company direct who said that if Auto windscreens do not give me a date within a reasonable timescale they will contact the underwriters to give me another windscreen company that can carry out the work more quickly. To this Auto windscreens phoned to say they could do the work tomorrow if I agreed. I agreed and will be taking a second day off work for which I do not get paid. Fingers crossed they bring the right windscreen and the job is finished tomorrow.”

“The worst company I have ever had the misfortune to have dealings with. My insurance company directed me to use them when my windscreen cracked. It has taken me numerous phone calls and waiting hours on end to get through to them and eventually after complaining to my insurance company and asking how I go about getting my £75 back they found an appointment for me 7 days after I contacted them.”

“Tried to book via insurance-been told 22nd June next appointment-this means my car is off the road until then as the crack is in my sightline also means my car will be without MOT as it expires before then, customer service just state they are busy-Autoglass have it in stock and can visit this week but my insurance don't deal with them-maybe because good service isn't as cheap as this... New insurance will be soon and will make sure its Autoglass cover not these cowboys”

“Shame they don't have 0 stars! To cut a long story short I was put through to them via budget, I had no rear windscreen, within five minutes I had paid my £75 excess to the very lovely helpful customer service rep and that's the last I've heard from them??!! I emailed and got a reply basically saying I was looking at June for a repair??! I paid someone else to do it and they keep saying I will get a refund but I've been dobbed off for two weeks now!! Lies after lies!”

“Reported windscreen completely broken and asked for a replacement windscreen and paid my excess. 36 hours later have had to phone auto windscreens to see what is happening. What sort of service is this, they had my landline number, mobile number and email address, worrying.”

“PLEASE DON'T USE! They have said to me today that they do NOT guarantee there repair work only the workmanship. (Which wasn't great) dispite it saying otherwise on their website. Aslo they don't give 100% customer satisfaction like they state on website. The best they can do is refund my insurance company and if I'm luckly I MIGHT get my £25 excess back. My repair has gone bad 18 months after repair. It can't be re-repaired. I was also told that 18 months is a "good" period for a repair. The company that was going to repair it (the other "auto" chip repair company) said they would replace the windscreen if it was there repair job gone bad. When I checked my paperwork it was autowindscreens (sadly) Customer service very poor. Service very poor. Do Not Use them!”
