1 star: Bad Updated 2 hours ago Terrible experience will never use… Terrible experience. Was treated like a criminal. Cancelled my Order and will never use again 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 The fitter didn’t want to do the work as it was New Year’s Eve and was concerned about his work load as he had come from thursk and had come with out the glass and didn’t want to get his hand cold de-icing the glass that was damaged so he tried saying I was defrauding to his manager my wife got one story off him and I was it work and had a missed phone call off them , so I rang back to be accused of falsely claiming?!!!! He said they video jobs now utterly bull the video would of shown they hadn’t defrosted the glass. Cowboys, The fitter didn’t even know if it was too cold to fit the glass or not because he asked my wife what she thought to which my wife replied I’m not the expert here I wouldn’t have a clue. You should know what your doing I would of thought by now! Then she realised he was coming up with every excuse he could not to do the work? Unbelievable!!!!! If the fitter could of been bothered to defrost the glass he would of seen the damage and false accusations wouldn’t of been thrown around. The depot was Leeds! Avoid 👎👎👎👎👎. Would you want someone doing work on your car who didn’t know if it was too cold or not 🤔🤨 I can’t comment on the conversation had between this company and the insurance company be causing unnecessary problems. You guy make your own minds up. But I went somewhere else. I would too if you what to keep your integrity with your insurance company.

Pathetic ! Booked for a home fitting via insurance. Fitter didn't even get out of his van because it was wet. Just shrugged his sholders and said he'd get back to me later that day. He did get back to tell me he couldn't back. This company is absolutley useless. Stay clear

What a shambles (Doncaster) Said they were coming - said they weren't several times.Appointment had been booked for a mobile visit - claimed I was due at local hub.Claimed it was due to a technician being poorly.Said if screen had broken on road still would not come till next day - 24 hours sitting in car at roadside - operative did not seem to understand the ludicrousness of this. Two operatives said yes booked foe mobile visit another sdasid they were "mistaken".Messed about so much.Eventually miraculously they came on day booked but lot later. Pity had to use them through Swinton Insurance - complaints lodged - awaiting outcome - asked for full refund. Avoid if you can - lets see how good a job they do - replacing windscreen now in drive !! Kevin Cross

Had my car broken into yesterday (06/10/20) and my insurance company put my in touch with this firm after over 12hours was contacted back to say they could not get a replacement window till Monday 12/10/20 so told them to forget it as had sorted local. As the window was open it could have been stolen anytime and I would be liable.

Auto Windscreens is simply the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I had replacement windscreen done by them two months ago and I'm discovering now that they have damaged my car in the process! And it's impossible to get into contact with anyone to sort this out.

Auto WIndscreens are one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with and I strongly advise you not to use them if you value your car. I had replacement windscreen done by them over 3 months ago and they damaged my car in the process. I have spoken to them countless times and been repeatedly lied to that the replacement part was no longer available (a lie), that they would get a dent repair company out (also a lie), that they don't give out the MD's email address (another lie as I found it on the net). Finally I contacted their MD yesterday by email and got a phone call from a customer service agent, who told me that miraculously, despite having absolutely no contact whatsoever from the company for over 7 weeks, that the part (yes, the one that apparently isn't available) is being painted as we spoke. Evidently Auto Windscreens believe that I came down in the last shower and I made it clear that I didn't believe this. It came as no surprise to have been told this morning that there is a dent in the part and that I should take it to a garage. Seriously? I run around in my own time doing the job Auto Windscreens should have done in the first place? Please don't get involved with this company, they really are awful.

They didn't turn to the first appointment. We sent to a fitting centre for a second that they didn't book with their own fitting centre. August 17th we first contacted them it's the 8th September now and again we have no confirmation of todays appointment. I have been dealing with this on behalf of my daughter, I have put the complaint in on her behalf as we have a password on the account but due to data protection they won't talk to me now so they must have been wrong to talk to me in the first place. So they will now be reported for a breach of data protection. Lots of promises for calls back, updates, calls from managers. Not true. Such a dishonest company. Avoid at all costa. When your insurance is up for renewal make the policy does not use Auto Windscreens. Still uncertain when the windscreen will be replaced. My daughter is a key worker and the windscreen is cracked in 4 directions on the drivers side.

I was really nervous about using this company given all the negative reviews out there. But they are also half the price of Autoglass so I went ahead. Glad to report that Marcus who came to do the repair was excellent and I had good communication from the company from when I booked the appt till when the technician arrived. Thankfully it was just a repair and not a replacement. Due to the uncertainty over whether it would be a chip repair or windscreen replacement I didnt pay upfront but paid after Marcus had completed the repair. Cant fault the service at all.

Booking and fitting fine, but shocking non existent customer after-care. Ref:10849733/10858680 Booked an appointment and had the windscreen replaced with no drama. However, after I got home I noticed the rear view mirror had been installed upside down. Due the the mirror size and roof design it is not possible to simply rotate the mirror through 180 degrees, it needs to be removed and re-fitted. Have now called twice, and twice was assured I would recieve a call back - but alas no-one has. This is now becoming an urgent issue for me as I have a 600 mile overnight journey to make in 5 days time. Extremely poor customer service (I use the word 'service' in the loosest possible way). If you have any other options available use them and avoid this company.

Two weeks, 4 cancelled appointments, 2 wrong parts ordered, numerous phone calls unanswered, many promises to call back unkept. Just avoid this circus of incompetents.

Unreliable, unaccountable and rude. AVOID. Unreliable, unaccountable and rude. After paying £95 nobody turned up when our time slot was booked and after calling the lady on the phone never apologised or said she'd look into it only " oh he probably got held up" nothing was done until I made it clear I was making a complaint. I am now on hold after being told to stop ranting. Please train staff to after such calls "I'm sorry to hear that, let me look into it for you". Or better yet, don't miss the appointment, or.... let the person know you are going to miss the appointment.
