“***AVOID AT ALL COSTS*** The seals around my windscreen failed within a day of my new windscreen being fitted. I was then informed by auto glass that this is a 'very common' issue and that the seals are in fact 'cosmetic' and are of no concern - not very professional or reassuring. Then I was made to wait over a week to have his issue rectified receiving a less than helpful tone over the phone. To add to this, on further inspection of the 'cosmetic seals' I found the cuts and finish looked like it had been done by a 5 year old. Massive gap in each corner, no care taken with the preexisting trim. All round very poor service.”

“Electrical fault to my wife's car, due to poo fitting of windscreen. Seal not correctly applied, leading to water leak through to the control box. Company refuses to accept liability, although VW has provided proof of the root cause and the poor job Auto Windscreens have done.”

“I had a repair to my windscreen some time ago, it lasted approx 6 months. I contacted auto glass who came out and did a 2nd repair. This has now failed. I called auto glass who informed me that I was entitled to a new windscreen as it was a 3rd fail. They came and informed me they would not fit the windscreen as the fail is not bad enough!! They told me it needed to be cracked! Why? it was a stone chip on the 1st 2 occasions so why now does it need to crack! I have a large stone chip in my window so much so people approach my vehicle and say that needs doing its so bad! I complained to auto glass and now they want to charge me £75 and think this is the answer to my complaint.”

“Fitted screen incorrectly, damaged rear view mirror and cracked airbox whilst fitted screen. Had to wait 3 months for 2nd replacement screen to be fitted. 10 months later, screen has cracked from the edge, due to poor fitting. An absolute shambles!”

“Arranged for a windscreen to be replaced via an insurance claim to a Mercedes Sprinter. They did what they said they would do, so no arguments there. 2-3 weeks later the windscreen cracked from the centre bottom, protected by the bonnet, and across, about 200mm up. Informed them and they arranged for the screen to be replaced under warranty. Fitter arrives to do the job and refuses as he claims there is impact damage and leaves. Photo's taken and company contacted again. Spoke to Craig Shipley in the call centre, went through the issue and offered to send photo's but he had his own and agreed that there was no impact damage and the screen would be replaced. Fitter arrives and refuses to do the work. Craig Shipley contacted, whose attitude has totally changed, and he refuses to do the work. Complaint logged with company and a response was made from them, leaving a message, from an unknown and un named male, who informed me that they would not be replacing the screen, but more than happy to charge me again for it. Typical negative response from a huge company, whose attitude developed into one of no interest, refusing to accept any form of liability for faulty goods and making claims that they have not offered to substantiate. Now I am left with a van which will fail it's MOT tomorrow due to the unprofessionalism of Auto windscreen personnel. I have had no opportunity to try to resolve it with them because they simply refuse liability, that's it, end of story. Waste of time and effort.”

“Wrong glass ordered for a start! Then when they finally did the job a clip came out of the widow as I put it up causing the window to jam on an angle half in the door. I've now had 3 days off work to have this window fitted correctly and I'm self employed so I don't get paid for this. This wasn't an insurance job I payed for this expensive work myself and at the cost of 3 days off too. Customer services offered me an apology that's it. I wouldn't use this company again and neither will my friends and family.”

“Received a text saying appointment 9.45 to 11.45 then get a phone call the next day from the fitter to say he will be with me 10.00 - 1.00 i told him i have a text saying its 9.45 - 11.45 he said that is wrong and he has 2 jobs before - well I've arranged my schedule around the text i received the day before at 2pm! call auto windscreens CS and they are as much help as a chocolate teapot! i have to go get my kids from school and leave my work at 2.30pm so if he doesn't arrive in time I'm screwed! i told them I'm leaving at 2.30 latest and if it hasn't had time to bond any damage caused to the vehicle or windscreen is there responsibility! the fitter said he will be with me at 11.30 but if he doesn't get to me until 1pm then with 1hr to fit max and 1 hr to bond that takes me to 3pm then I'm late and missed kids collection! NOT HAPPY!”

“This is the second time I have had to use this company to replace the screen on my Range Rover, not an easy job for them apparently, twice they failed to fit I because it was raining, if they had been on time for he first appointment it would have been fitted before it rained!!!! The second time, two weeks later, cannot do it because it's raining, third time cannot do it as have the Wrong Screen......”

“I paid for this windscreen my self because this bunch of gunners never do what they promise to do! Day of fitting I had to pay for the screen because they never rung the person who was going to pay for it, (They had over a week before fitting to ring the person and take payment and never got back to me to say they had not taken payment?) New screen was fitted scratched so rearranged to fit another one? They arrive Saturday but was raining so can not fit it? pop up gazebos are a good thing to have because apparently Autoglass do not work in the rain so come winter time they don't work I guess? Big Company and pop up gazebos cost £200 and can be erected with one hand in seconds? I RECOMMEND YOU GO GET YOUR SELFS A COUPLE. Rearranged for another Saturday and taking in mind I run a business to and are loosing money rearranging customers or customers taking the hump because I can not fit them in on a Saturday because autobodge can not do the job right in the first place. Saturday came again taking in mind it is now 4 to 5 weeks since I first contacted autobodge I got a phone call sat morning to tell me the fitter was ill? omg autobodge has lost me 3 Saturdays work up to now and still left with a scratched windscreen! Next Saturday appointment was not till 27th October omg, I AM SURE IF IT WAS NOT WARRANTY WORK I WOULD OF GOT IT DONE FAR SOONER. I asked for my money back so I can go else where to sort it out because they are costing me a lot of money each Saturday they are not turning up! Was told customer services would get back to me? still waiting?”

“But this has become nothing but a joke from a cowboy company. I had my windscreen replaced by auto windscreens through my insurance. This was all well and good. Cost me £75 excess. Not an issue. I payed there and then on the phone.. 4 weeks later. Yes 4 weeks with a crack the entire length of the windscreen. It was replaced. They then tried to charge me £157 EXTRA because I didn't have windscreen cover.. which I did. Proof sent problem solved. The technician snapped a piece of the trim holding the windscreen down.. no problem just replace it. Technician came round to investigate.. clearly no trim and snapped clips still in place. 7 weeks later after having no communication I emailed them asking for answers. I then later recieved and phonecall today.. and offered £10 would be payed to replace the trim as they couldn't find one to replace themselves. Then to make things even better I'm then told that because I have another car that is similar.. I can take parts off that to fix the problem they have caused me in the first place? So over 7 weeks.. I'm with missing bits. And a company that won't replace the part.. but offer £10 and take bits of my other car to fix it. Auto windscreens have given me nothing but issues. Problem after problem. The customer service team are nothing but damn right disrespectful. The technician needs to go back to school if plastic trim was 'rusty'. Your loyalty to your customers is a joke. I'll be posting this round all social media. Including photos of the emails sent. Cheers ????”

“Zero stars... Customer service, my bottom!!! 3 appointments made, 1 cancelled at short notice, 1 trueness up but without all the items needed and 1 turned up later than the agreed time slot without notification!!! I complained, got a letter responding to the complaint saying that they were satisfied with the outcome of the complaint and the next thing I know I'm receiving letters from a debt collection agency!!! Bloody poor show and will be writing bad reviews about this company wherever I can!! Now, on completing this review, I find that I have to leave at least 1 star.... Trust me, they aren't that good”

“After having to wait over a week for a screen replacement I expected better. Whilst the 1st visit wasn't perfect - the fitter arrived late/failed to communicate/fitted a scratched screen - at least he did arrive!! I then wasted a 2nd 'morning' waiting for a replacement screen - after not hearing from my fitter (who had 10 minutes to get to me 'on time') I called to find out where he was. He called 15 minutes later to say that he wasn't arriving as he had no screen to fit. On both occasions I had booked a 'morning appointment' and on both occasions I was given a different time slot - 13:00 'til 15:00 and 11:00 'til 13:00 - the first arrived after 3pm the second would have arrived at about 2pm had he actually arrived! USELESS booking system and pathetic customer care! Does this bother you at all Auto Windscreens??”

“Waited all day for a technician. Have been given a poor excuse by customer care on why the technician has not shown up. They have no contingency plan for when things go wrong. Paying customer is inconvenienced.”

“Appalling customer service. First appointment was made, confirmed and reconfirmed by text. No-show on the appointed day. I had to ring and inquire what was happening, answer-"the fitter is on leave". I said I wished to complain, apparently "no complaints department". new appt made - fitter brought wrong windscreen. Screen finally replaced at third attempt. I will be complaining to AA Insurance, who insist that this is the preferred company”

“This company took nearly a month to repair my windscreen after 4 unsuccessful but unavoidable attempts.... First they ring me the day before my first booking to tell me they hadn't got a windscreen in stock even though they had 5 days to order one. The second time an fitter turned up had the windscreen but didn't have the extra parts they didn't know they needed.. .apparently because my car was so new no one had fitted a screen to one yet ... Third rebooking and no one turned up even after several calls to the office who "apparently" couldn't get ahold of the driver.... The 4the attempt was successful and was fitted l It only took them just over a month do though....oh and they ended up scratching my car and causing unavoidable damage......after many complaints and phone calls I've just been avoided and palmed off along with the rest of the unhappy customers I know this company gets.....NEVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR TIME AND MONEY WASTED AND YOUR CAR DAMAGED!!!”
