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.

Received a phone call from Michael (Reference number - 8739340) at 10:20 to say he was on route. After only taking about 30 minutes to complete the replacement windscreen, he was gone. Very efficient and understanding man! The job was done quickly and successfully. I would definitely recommend Auto Windscreens.

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

Had a Cracked windscreen before Christmas 2015, Again like other people told that I could only use Auto Windscreens, the best they could do was 5 weeks 19th January 2016, the guy turned up midday, Nice bloke, he had come from Peterborough to the East of Suffolk over 100 miles away, when they say they have a depot in Norwich, 30 miles away. Fitted screen and I noticed there was a scratch on the inside, he tried to polish it out but could not do it so phoned up his depot to organise a replacement screen to be fitted, they said it would take two weeks and it got booked in again on the 8th February? Taken another day off work and low and behold no one has contacted me to say anyone is coming, and I have spent 1 hr on their 24hr 365 day contact number and all I get is that all there advisers are busy and thank you for calling, that’s at 2am on Sunday the 7th Feb, still on phone so do not hold much hope of getting anywhere ore anyone turning up tomorrow. Disgraceful service, I will get someone else to replace the screen and send the bill to them, as this is the second day I have lost a day’s pay.

Windscreen was cracked and i was advised hat i could only use Auto Windscreen by my insurer. Rang them and the best they could do is 4 WEEKS.. Contacted insurer and they managed to get the appointment changed to 2 weeks.. Today was supposed to be the day i had it repaired.. AND GUESS WHAT.. No show from Auto Windcreens.. Rang them and chased and was told that the engineer was not working today.. SO iam back to square one... They are the worst company i have ever had the misfortune to deal with..

Given job by my insurers at 9.57. No contact from them all day as a result vehicle was left unsecured overnight. Given no indication of when the job was likely to get done with the excuse that they were extremely busy and had no tech in the area. Do not use.

Absolutely awful customer service. More than 3 hour wait and still no answer when trying to rearrange windscreen replacement date. No confirmation of first appointment sent and insurance details still not validated by auto windscreens can only put this down to slack protocol or laziness. Have now give up and going to let them show up with nobody at address and waste their time after all it seems they are not actually that bothered.

If I could give Auto Windscreens no stars I would!have never been treated so appallingly by any company ever??.I had to wait 30 hours for a passinger window which was vandalised,spoke to my insurance at 7.45am they told me my car would be repaired the same day?? After numerous phone calls and being on hold for a total of 2 hours 3 calls given several different times for the day it was supposed to be repaired.I was informed by customer services at 18.15 that they were sorry my car couldn't be repaired the same day but??I explained my concerns at my car being exposed another night,and was told if I covered it I would be lucky as it probably wouldn't get broken in to again??? Then never turned up on the agreed time the next day I had to make several more phone calls.When I eventually spoke to the repair guy he really wasn't interested?Definitely would not use again.

Waited 10 days Technician arrived to say he had the wrong windscreen! He said it happens all the time and it was the fault of admin staff. Re scheduled. To fit new windscreen another 10 days later technician arrived to say weather too bad to fit! He also said that office staff often get wrong details ! I have spent hours trying to get a response from Autowindscreens finally got an answer to say Next possible slot is another 10 days! Let us hope the weather is mild on the 9th! Maybe one day! What a disastrous badly run company!

In keeping with recent other reviews this company seems to have lost the plot! I contacted them via Post Office Car Insurance mid December. Given appointment for 2nd Jan. No-one turned up and no call or text sent to me. It took 2 full days to make contact with them., which had to be done via Post Office Insurance because Auto Windscreens 0800 number just keeps you hanging on... New appointment 7 Jan - when guy turns up he says he can't do it because his canopy is not big enough for a Tiguan! Next new appointment offered was for 19th January. In the meantime complains to insurer who send me Autoglass who did the job with 4 working days. Trying to cancel the appointment with Autoglass problematical as impossible to contact them. Left to insure to cancel them. Autoglass recently merged with AA windscreens it seems - outcome = chaos! AVOID!

This is now the third time I have been rescheduled on the day. My replaced screen is leaking. They were not able to offer a prompt appointment to make the initial replacement and then phoned on the day of the appointment to say the technician was not available. Finally replaced the screen on Christmas Eve. ( The technician scratched the woodwork of my car interior in the process - something which I only noticed a few days later). The screen has leaked ever since. Difficult to arrange a convenient appointment - they are all at the company's convenience and then the appointment was cancelled on the day this week - no technician available. Rescheduled for today after some fairly forceful negotiation on my part, and now cancelled as the replacement screen is not available. I am not a complainer, but I don't think I have ever had such bad service from any company. Look at the reviews - something has happened to this company recently. Avoid!
