“Do not touch this company with a barge pole. 10/3/16 waited for an hour for the telephone to be picked up at 7pm. No answer. Called my insurance co. They somehow got me through. Spoke to Dawn who booked me an appointment from the Romford base . Given date of 15/3/16 with ref number of 8805358 between 9am and 5pm. I was told i would be called on the day and given an ETA. Not heard anything by 11 am on the 15th, Called and actaully managed to get through to the customer service number. Spoke to David Aughton and I was told there was no booking for me on that day.The next booking would be April 1st. I was not happy and was promised a call back. Still not heard anything after 24 hrs. Called my insurance co , now have an appointment on Sat 19/3 between 9 and 1 with National Windscreens. When my car insurance is next due ,whoever has the cheapest quote before completing the transaction I will be asking what glass repair company is authorised by them to make repairs . If it is this company I will not be taking out insurance with them I am trying to get a small chip repaired which is not to much of an issue. God help if I needed a full windscreen. I asked for recompence as I had taken a day off work for this repair . I was offered a waver of the excess charge as gesture of goodwill . My policy arrangemnet is if there is a chip no excess charge the bill goes straight to the insurers, This company is a complete joke. I suggest you warn your insurance companies about this company , perhaps that way they will start to lose business and may wake them up to provide a service we require.”

“Disgusting company.. Booked my appointment over ten days ago for today friday - of course nobody has turned up.. Now spent all day ringing up being cut off the phone etc and because they accused me of being rude on the phone after 2 hours of messing a around they now refuse to attend at all. Lost a days pay and cant drive my car as the crack has so bad after 11 days of waiting.. I. At my wits end.. They refuse the or take my calls now leaving me high and dry. They are disgusting beyond words. Liars too. They even emailed me confirmation of my appointment. Promised to ring me back numerous times .its lie after lie.. Im submitting a county court claim today for loss of earnings and as my insurance dont deal withvany other winscreen company im left facing a huge bill now.. Im so upset too. And as female lady i feel ive been treat very badly. Why are auto windscreens surprised i was angry after loosing yet anothers day pay for failed workman to arrive. Utterly disusting company who shouldnt be in business. All i read is complaint after complaint.”

“Terrible- I have been waiting since Tuesday for my side window to be replaced- I can't drive anywhere apart with it as it is . It takes around 30 mins for them to answer the phone and then all they say is 'you are a priority' and someone will ring you to arrange a time. I'm just sitting at home waiting for someone maybe to ring me, sometime ! Totally frustrating. If I had not already paid 70 quid to these people in excess via my insurance, I would be off to autoglass repair ASAP. DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE.”

“claim via Hastings Direct Van .Still waiting for repair to drivers door glass after 3 days every time I call they fob me off saying they're very busy they have no idea when they can repair my van. It's a Transit Connect , it's not uncommon. I have now cancelled the job via Hastings Direct who I am loathe to use again because they are unaware that Auto Windscreens are not up to the job.They have put me onto Nationwide Motor Glass to see if they're any better.DO NOT USE AUTO WINDSCREENS.”

“I'd never choose to use Auto windscreens again and only did this time because it came with my insurance! I first noticed the chip on Wednesday 13th January... or it may have been 14th. This was just a small chip but was worried it might become something bigger with frosty nights. I was given Friday 22nd January but was telephoned the day before to be told a technician wouldn't be available, so REBOOKED for Wednesday 27th between 8 and 13:00. No one came so I telephoned at 14:30 to be told the computers were down so they didn't know who was supposed to have come and why they hadn't and couldn't arrange another time. No one telephoned me the next day so I phoned them and was told my technician had been off sick and it was REBOOKED for February 12th. This was cancelled the day before and REBOOKED for March 2nd! On Monday 29th I was telephoned to say it would need to be REBOOKED AGAIN and it would probably be a few weeks before another appointment was available! At this point I asked to speak to the manager. Jasmine was very apologetic and arranged for Michael to come the next day, today 1st March. Which he did, keeping me fully informed of when he'd arrive, and arriving when he said he would, was very polite and did a brilliant job! BUT, why did it necessitate me speaking to the manager, explaining this was the 4th time it had been cancelled, before I got this excellent service? Come on Auto Windscreens, you can do better than this! When the computers went down, I was told it was always happening! Well something needs to be done about it then! I have emailed my insurers to suggest they use another company.”

“Totally disappointed with the service I have received! Last year my window screen was replaced by yourselves and it's getting frost on the inside steaming up on the inside and the chassis number is sitting offline from where it should be. I phone your customer service team up and they said they have no idea when I would get a phone call she said it could be a week or a month if this is the case I will be going to trading standards, as this is not acceptable. Should have gone to autoglass.”

“Shocking customer service. I've been on hold several times for well over an hour. They finally called me to make an appointment, I was out and unsure which days I was free so they cancelled my claim and told me to submit a new one. One appointment was cancelled by them at the last minute. Catalogue of bad service, bad experience. Most frustrating thing is they never answer calls. Who has the time to sit for hours on hold? All in all very poor. If I didn't have to use them because of my insurance I would have gone elsewhere straight away. I can't believe their website promotes high levels of customer satisfaction and awards. Complete joke.”

“Absolutely useless - third time they've visited in two months - each time with the wrong windscreen. Near impossible to contact them by phone to rearrange. How does a company like this exist these days....”

“If there was a zero rating option I would be selecting that. Having called to report a cracked windscreen in December 2015, I have twice been let down by this company. The 1st appointment was booked for January. No-one turned up and when I called was told that no technician had been booked. Appointment re-booked for today (20th Feb so some 3 weeks later) and again I am told that no technician has been booked again!! I have now booked for a 3rd time for next Saturday but have been told that they cant tell me whether it will be a morning or afternoon appointment so I feel another wasted day approaching. Feedback will also be given to M&S who are my insurers as they insist on using this company. "Total Customer Satisfaction" - I dont think so!”

“Had a windscreen repaired, promised a life time guarantee. Couple of years down the road and the repair has failed and I have to now get a completely new windscreen. They refuse to refund the costs of the original repair or take any responsibility for it.”

“After waiting over 30 minutes before I spoke to an adviser I told that the earliest appointment was in 5 weeks time! I called autoglass up straight over and waited less than 4 minutes to speak with someone who booked my windscreen to be done 2 days later at a cheaper price and also they could go through my insurance company. Have complained to my insurance company and said for them not to use auto windscreens anymore as they are appalling!!! My advise go straight to autoglass!!”

“I can't comment on their ability to replace windscreens as they apparently failed to allocate someone to my job, I found this out after waiting for 5 hours for them to turn up in the 8-1pm slot I had booked. Their response to this (and I'd waited 2 weeks for the appointment) was that they'd need to reschedule a new appointment at the next available slot, there was no urgency from their perspective, no, I'll see if we can get someone round today/urgently as we'd made a mistake... nothing bar a slightly lame "sorry". Then they couldn't tell me when the next slot would be as their system was down, so they said they would escalated the call to the local branch, when I asked how long it would be until I heard from them the response was "I don't know, it depends on how busy they are" over 24 hours later, their 365, 24x7 service has failed to call me and I'm guessing I won't hear from them either. Time for me to call my insurance company and see if I can get another company to complete the job as these guys have no concept of customer service.”

“I have been messed around by these cowboys since sept 15 and still don't have the screen fixed . They turned up this Saturday but didn't bring the windscreen with then ! last visit was the same . previous to that they replaced the cracked screen with a chipped one and split black mastic over the interior trim !!! I never get a call back from them , they even hang up on you !.....AVOID AT ALL COST”

“This company is extremely bad and I have never had such bad customer service before. I wasted three days annual leave as they failed to turn up initially and cancelled my appointment with an hours to go of my scheduled installation time (wasting a day of my Annual Leave) They rescheduled for a week and half later and turned up with the wrong screen (even though i phoned originally and said could you bring a heated screen as well as the standard version). The Engineer was helpful and said he would order the correct screen. Turned up for a 3rd appointment and right type of screen, wrong colour. The engineer said he re-order the right colour, which he was going to do, but advised me fitting would be 4th March 2016 (nearly a month later). The company clearly can't meet any targets or customer expectation. I've escalated to my insurance company now and I have another company coming this week to fit the screen. My advise is avoid this company at all costs and ask your insurance company for an alternate fitter.”

“Don't touch them with a barge pole! My rear windscreen was completely shattered. I called Auto Windscreens (via my insurer) at 8.50am 4th February and today 8th February, even though my case has apparently been prioritised, I haven't received a call back. As my car was open to the aftermath of storm Henry and the pending storm Imogen I had no alternative other than to employ a local repairer (who did the job within 4 hours of my call) and take the financial hit. AVOID”
