Avoid. Aftermarket windscreen incorrectly fitted, had to be refitted. Replacement windscreen not compatible with car auto-wiper functions, & not exact fit. AW Customer Service phone service very slow, and emails ignored. Straight answers not given.

11 DAYS FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE WINDSCREEN!! 11 days for an appointment to replace my windscreen - 10 days if I drive 35 miles to a 'service centre'. I am a self employed driver and can not use my vehicle for 11 days! The vehicle is not safe to drive as it is so I will loose two weeks earnings. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! AutoGlass said they could do it in three hours!!! Date of experience: 16 October 2023

ROMFORD BRANCH The worst company i have ever dealt with, came round to replace glass, the so called technician, was sticking metal hooks and hoover pipes down inside the door, then he slammed it full force 7 or 8 times. then he announced the mechanism was broke and there was nothing he could do till i got it fixed, he had tested the mechanism before he started and it was working, after he bashed and poked the door it was not working, he didn't want to accept responsibility and drove away still leaving me with no glass. the stupid secretary rang me to say it wasn't his fault, the manager of the Romford branch didn't have the decency to phone me, I have had numerous conversations with them, they don't listen, they keep promising me to phone back, they never do, last spoke to them at 11 am this morning, said I'll phone you back in a minute, 3 hours later ...nothing. They have no regards for the customer or their shoddy workmanship, and its never their fault, I have been without a drivers glass door for 8 days, with no sign of them fixing what they broke, No reliable customer service, an all round bad company, it was the insurance that had them come round, i will not be insuring with Aviva again, who are saying its up to me to sort it with Auto-windscreens, not least its their contractor, Deal with this shoddy company at your displeasure.

Been waiting 10 days to book a fitting, Chat facility slow and could not provide an update, Hub did not work, just reported an error. Tried ringing - waited 18 min to talk to operator. Operator informed me that if I had accepted a after-market replacement windscreen they could give me a fitting date. As I requested an original part they had no indication of time on how long I would need to wait or even if my insurance would cover the cost. ref 12547979

Dear Sir/madem , I feel really disappointed with the service I received, explained below. -Reported for repair on Sunday for broken passengers side window -Appointment confirmed on Monday evening by text for Tuesday 11:00 and -No update from Technician or Customer services until 13:30 - Technician arriving 14:30 hopefully - as Driving Instructor I lost 3hr of lesson worth £120.00 - At least they have let me know that Technician gonna be late in the morning so that I don't need to wait for 3and half hr, also I would have give lesson in the morning - No care or value for customers - I wouldn't recommend this Services to anyone who has value of their time it's really frustrating Lalit Mall 07456 509313

Hi, Having paid on the 6 June and waited for 25 days on the 31st you were a no show. Phoning up and waiting 47 minutes to find out why, I was told it was due to sickness. Thanks for letting me know. Rebooked for 21 August, nearly 2 months waiting, I made a further complaint. Miraculously an appointment was found for today 3rd August. Taking a second day off, at a cost of 2 days @ £200 each. It has cost me £400 plus the £70 excess. It’s now 1600hrs and again a no show. No communication at all. Appalling service. I am referring this back to my insurers for a refund of the excess and the additional cost in the policy.

Had to go via this crowd due to being insured through AA, after a smash and grab needed driver's window replaced took 2 days not an issue. Man that came to do job was great but there was a problem with window not closing properly afterwards. He took it out cleared and tried again. Couldn't calibrate full closure of window. Then had company on phone looking for excess fee I explained I wasn't happy as it's not closing as it should. So not happy paying excess at present. Then 20 mins later had a phone call from some monkey threatening me with taking me to debt collector.cant believe this outfit and the attitude of the Muppet in the office. As if I wasn't stressed enough after the break in. He said I have to go to main dealer which means paying out more money!!!! Looking at the reviews it seems they're not all that. But needs must sadly I didn't have the money to pay outright had to go through insurance. Really makes me angry why do I bother paying for insurance 🤬

The whole experience of dealing with this catastrophe of a company is stressful and infuriating. They are so arrogantly dismissive of customers they make British Gas look slick and caring. I feel they are going bust. Their website is faulty and unhelpful They NEVER answer the phone. They DONT respond to Twitter request Email response is by AI and so fails to respond to a complaint. Not one attempt in calling them has been less than 50minutes I have driven fifteen miles and sat outside one of their depots only to have their own technicians agree absolutely with everything above and to confirm that they have the same problems with them. If you have any other options for glass replacement then you must use it, you really have to avoid engaging with this company. They haven’t yet fitted my windscreen. Non existent customer service. They make me feel like mishandled baggage.

I have just had my windscreen replacement cancelled for the THIRD time - after I had driven to your workshop. Your service is incompetent; you have several days to order the part on each occasion and it hasn't arrived. I will be informing my insurance company and suggesting they stop recommending Auto windscreens.

Damaged my window mechanism and captured it on their video recordings but still refuse to take responsibility. Absolutely outrageous - having to put customers through the Ombudsman route when they are clearly at fault.

They ordered the wrong glass, booked the wrong dates, had no availability and I missed out on my travel arrangements. I had my windshield cracked on Monday 10th of April, I called them straight away, bear in mind I had travel arrangements booked for Friday 14th. The earliest time slot available was for Saturday the 15th which in itself is ridiculous, they then said they will book it for me but someone will call me the next day, I called the next day to find out that they canceled it altogether but will book me for Monday, which I said ok as I was already down few days of travel. then they called me back saying their system canceled it again but now they picked it up so they'll book it for MONDAY in the city closest to me, which wasn't available on the website, I asked if they are sure it was definitely MONDAY and they said yes, booking confirmation came back and I was booked for Tuesday, they told me they will make sure I have Monday booked but no one called me or changed it. I came for a windscreen replacement on Tuesday and the technician after seeing my car and laughing said "I have the wrong glass for your car" I thought he was joking but it was not a joke. This company is a joke, please avoid it if you can.

I recently had the misfortune of using Auto Windscreens to replace my windscreen and it has been a complete nightmare. After the job was done, I realized that my heating system was not blowing in the dashboard anymore. I contacted their customer service to address the issue, but to my disappointment, they did not take any responsibility for the damage caused during the installation. Not only did they refuse to take responsibility, but their technician never bothered about my calls to fix the issue. This level of incompetence and lack of professionalism is simply unacceptable. I would strongly advise anyone, especially Tesla owners, to avoid this company at all costs. It is a real shame that a company that claims to be experts in windscreen replacement and repair cannot even provide basic customer service and take responsibility for their own mistakes. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration and steer clear of Auto Windscreens.

I have been waiting over five weeks so far to get my windscreen replaced. I am expecting to wait even longer. The communication has been poor. They said the glass would take two weeks to come in. I waited. They then said my appointment would be in three weeks. I waited. They cancelled my appointment the day before because somehow, the glass wasn't in stock. I then waited to hear when the glass would be in. Nothing happened. I have just had a webchat which the person ended rudely. They still don't know when the glass will be in. Poor, poor service...

Dodgy companies breach of contract I'm insured fully comprehensive with haven through acorn insurance. All my freinds and family are disappointed to why i chose such a company. 3 of my windows was smashed (front screen,rear screen & passenger back quarter) I reported it to the police & insurance companies to seek help I'm covered for glass on my policy they put me through to auto windscreen who refused to take on the job and valued my car as a loss to the insurance company. The insurance companies claims department left me feeling angry told me I have 2 options either take a total loss or repair ur car urself! I was baffled my car written off over glass & decided to fix it myself! I asked the insurance companies if i can get 1 glass done on the car they put me through to autoglass and i was covered for 1 glass I paid 100 awaiting a booking. Went bought new rear glass got it fitted then next day auto windscreen call me for the booking and tel me they are coming to fix all glass end of the week. I asked how they said u are covered for glass so we are coming to repair them after iv been told to repair my car myself or salvage my car to them??? I'm paying alot of money on a audi tt fully comprehensive with all these covers for what? To be played about? Very poor service i feel robbed! disappointed customer my advice to everyone becareful with these companies they put me on the spot with 2 choices both losses so why we paying them for all the covers and options for our cars? When they put u on the spot to take losses? Repair urself = loss Accept salvage = loss Auto windscreen, acorn & haven = is this a scam on customers? Breach of contract !!!!They will reply ask for ur details but never call u to resolve ur problems!!!!!! Blatant scam!
