Windshield cracked by a kicked up stone 2 weeks ago. My insurance company scheduled a mobile repair with Safelite. Cancelled 4 times after I waited 4 hours each time. Contacted a manager to get replacement at their garage and response was "you are not going to tell us what to do". Worst customer service on the planet! Insurance company is referring me to a different company for replacement. 1 star is way too generous!

Do not use Safelite Auto Glass! After highly recommended by my insurer, State Farm, I attempted to schedule an appointment with Safelite for a windshield replacement. There was no method of talking to anyone at Safelite, just repeated recordings to go online or chat. My agent was finally able to speak to a person who stated that they did not have my windshield in stock and would call me when it was in. Several days later Safelite called me and scheduled a mobile appointment for today, August 3rd between 8am and noon. They were supposed to call me and confirm the appointment yesterday. They did not call.
So, after waiting a couple hours today, I was able to reach someone at Safelite who stated that they did not have my windshield. No one called to inform me. I guess Safelite believes that it is no big deal standing up a customer who has other things to do in life. I rescheduled with The Glass Doctor. They were so easy to reach (just call the number and they actually answer the phone) and sounded very professional. State Farm should STOP highly recommending Safelite as their preferred vendor. It diminishes their reputation. It almost seems like State Farm may receive a "kickback" from Safelite.

If you have a Ford F150, don't bother. They replaced the windshield without completing the job. Left me with a wire that I have no idea where it goes or what it does. I give my VIN for a reason. To get a specific windshield. If you can't complete the job, tell me before you install something that isn't complete.

What a joke. Broke my old windshield after breaking new replacement then left me with no way to drive or work out of my vehicle to earn a living for a week. They don't care. Very unprofessional. Go anywhere else. Save yourself the frustration.

This was such a bad experience. We went online and set up appointment to have our glass on our driver side fixed. They called and asked what our model number and to be sure what we wanted. We set up an appointment. They came and said they didn't have what they needed. They called the next day and said you need to pay 278.00 more. We had already gave them through the web-site 310.00. I asked why and said it was a different glass. I said why didn't you tell us to begin at the begin. He said, "You push the wrong button on the computer." He was rude and didn't try to work with us at all. I wouldn't work with them again. Horrible Horrible person. Knoxville shop.

Non OEM glass installed without my knowledge. The technician showed up to my house and said it would take and hour. When he finished I realized that he replaced with a completely different windshield that I had. A non-OEM blank. I would never put a non OEM windshield in my Jeep Wrangler. Because it was already installed I had no recourse. Because I had changed my insurance to Liberty mutual apparently the OEM glass was not covered. For anyone using Safelite be aware that they are owned by Liberty Mutual.
I have three cars, a house and a boat covered under Liberty. They were not honest when they created my quote to be the same coverage I previously had. I will be taking my substantial policies elsewhere and will never use safelite again. I cannot emphasize how disappointed I was to see the wrong glass in my.

I would give them 0 stars if I could. I called for an appt. Was given a written quote of $430 to repair a broken windshield with a warning that it might cost more for recalibration. I then called their 800 phone number, and on a recorded line was told that price did include calibration. However, I then received an email notification that with calibration the price was in fact $1,123. I cancelled the appointment. I am instead scheduled to have the work done by Glass Doctor. The price there is $320 without the recalibration or $620 with it. Safelite obviously has extortionist, dishonest practices! Buyer beware!

Ridiculous. The new windshield has a chip on the edge and they did not place it properly on the molding. They will not honor their warranty. I was told they do not worry about aesthetics and they will NOT fix their crappy job. Told the "chip" is not big enough to be called a chip. I'll never use these guys again.

On Friday July 12, 2024 I took my 2021 Mazda CX-9 to Safelite at 12600 Interurban Ave S in Tukwila WA to get my front windshield replaced after a rock cracked it. I dropped my car off at 1:00 p.m. for what was supposed to be a pretty quick windshield replacement only to get a phone call saying they are having trouble recalibrating my car's safety systems. The Safelite person on the phone said Safelite has a hard time calibrating Mazda’s, to which I said I’m concerned because you guys replaced a windshield in my old 2016 Mazda CX-5 turning it into Mr. Magoo (eventually that was fixed by the dealership)!
I waited over an hour to receive my Mazda CX-9 with most of its safety systems still disconnected. Safelite said I would have to reschedule a second day for a Recalibration, and they asked me to bring my car back the following Monday, July 15, 2024 at 7:00 a.m., so I scheduled it and went to leave in my car with most of its safety system disconnected and noticed they left my rearview mirror loose and floppy. They finished recalibrating my car that morning so I went to pick it up around lunch and told the service counter guy if they fixed my rearview mirror back to the way it was when I dropped it off. He looked at me confused, understandable so I explained that they loosened it and when I go to press buttons on it or adjust it, it’s loose, unstable and falls off the glass.
He said it should be good to go so I went outside to look and came back to let him know it was still loose and unstable. He said “Oh, we will have to schedule you for a warranty service”, I said “I’m sorry, I’d like you to have the technician that loosened it, get the tool to tighten it like it was when I brought it in here”. He said “it would have to be a warranty service”, I said I’ve not received my car officially and that it isn’t hard to reach up under the rearview mirror with the tool that loosened it and tighten it back up the way it was when I brought my car in.
Needless to say, the mirror is loose, falls off when touched and they made me reschedule another appointment, a 3rd day, yes, a 3rd day of Safelite over a simple window replacement for their incompetence, rudeness and unwillingness to simply tighten the rearview mirror that they loosened. I don’t have the little tool or I would fix it myself, but they had the tool sitting right there in their shop, 15 feet away and could have simply returned my rearview mirror to the condition it was when I arrived several days prior. My car's dash was made dirty with debris, fingerprints and an overall lack of care.
Now Safelite is sending a truck and employee to my actual home to tighten a rearview mirror that they could have done in a few seconds at their repair facility. I get to enjoy 4 hours of the window that they gave me from 12-4 p.m., waiting around for them to show up. [Update], I canceled the appointment after getting a specialized screwdriver and tightening the rearview mirror myself. I strongly recommend Safelite be avoided at all costs if you value your late model cars containing any safety features that require calibration. There are plenty of alternatives that care about the customer and returning late model vehicles to their customers the way they were dropped off, in solid working order.

My appt window was 8-12. At 12:02, I received a phone call letting me know my technician had called in sick. Apparently, it didn’t occur to them to contact their customers before they waited out the appointment window. Crediting back my account will take 7 to 10 business days. The person I spoke to was quite indifferent to the poor experience.

Customer service has been an issue. I took my Toyota Avalon in for service and when they called me to pick it up they told me that they could not calibrate my windshield and if I would like they could order another one. I had no choice but to sign the waiver to drive my vehicle and had a vacation in 4 days. Long story it has been 2 months and they still have not reached out to me! I spoke with the Oxford Alabama location and the woman I spoke with was rude and uncaring. I almost wrecked driving in the rain because the defogger on the windshield does not work even when I turned by defrost on! I am dreading to drive home in the rain 30 plus minutes because of the danger of seeing! Terrible service! I am unsure why they used a windshield that is not made for a Toyota and expect it to calibrate???

Lesson learned. Never, ever get Safelite Auto Glass to replace your windshield. Their warranty is a lie. 6 months ago I had to replace my windshield. Last week I went to drive my Explorer and I noticed that it was blurry. Not a film on the glass. Took it to Fayetteville where I initially got it replaced and they said it was not covered by warranty. I call corporate and they said the same thing. I even got a second opinion and was told it was faulty glass. Well I guess it's time to lawyer up. What choice do I have.

Soooo today, I had to go to Safelite in Buford and, as always, I arrived early. Waited about 10 mins and was guided in by my window installer. Went inside, watched some TV, an hour and a half go by, my phone text said the tech was done and would be right out. Tech comes in to get me and starts talking then said "I had an accident. I want to be honest with you. My foot slipped and I broke the dashboard. I've already told my manager as well." My question is WHAT IS YOUR FOOT DOING ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK? I'M TRYING TO PICTURE IT. I CANNOT! Paid my bill and told the manager to be ready for the quote to replace my dash. Every time I go there, I get my trucks damaged. This is the same place that RUINED my windshields in Big Mack as well. Safelite WHAT ARE YOU TRAINING THESE GUYS TO DO EXACTLY???

Poor customer service! We had two windshields recently replaced on June 29, 2024 on our Jeeps. Everything went as scheduled, until we drove the vehicle two days later. As we drove on the freeway at around 70 mph we hear a rumble, before the windshield was replaced there was no noise. Made an appointment to have the noise checked out and of course it wasn’t their issue. The technician said it was the trim below the windshield and it’s an issue with my vehicle, he said that I can order a replacement and they can install for a nominal fee. He then said that they have pictures of the damage trim. If it was making a loud noise I would have gotten it fixed. Not at all happy about the whole situation.

Seriously disappointed in customer service, even the manager at the Clovis location snickered and thought it was funny. Ignored me, no eye contact and didn't give me an option for correcting it and kept saying the insurance company did not authorize the OEM window. When the appt was made by our insurance company they told me they would not pay for an OEM window. I called Safelite directly and spoke to a woman that had no clue… but yet she did say they could order the window and have it installed OEM. But it would cost extra, I told her I would have no issues paying for an OEM window, the car is less than a year old and I didn't want the electronics around the window affected by a generic window. She actually told me it wasn't electronic... but said she would order the OEM window for me. The day of install they put a generic window in. Excuse was the insurance didnt authorize it, excuse me, I own the car not my insurance company.

If I could give them a zero star, I would. I used Safelite because my insurance helped with the cost. First technician came out, replaced my F250 quickly and went on his merry way. Two days later, we get a rain storm and water pours into my cab. So I call for the warranty. The next technician comes out and sees that the kid broke the piece on the windshield cowl. The first technician also messed up the wiring on my review mirror AND didn’t glue the glass on correctly. My leaks were from the broken cowl and the glue issue. He replaces the windshield again and tells me to file a claim for the cowl, that it’s easy! Ha! That’s a joke. I then tried doing that. Except now I can’t get any real person on the phone.
The system says it doesn’t have any transactions under my number and kicks me out. So I set up another warranty claim to get someone out here to help. That next technician stood in my driveway and tried to get his manager on the phone. He couldn’t so he said, “I’ll give him your info and have him call you. He can get the claim filed for you”. Never heard from the manager. This time I had the 3rd technician's phone number directly. So I kept following up with him. He went unresponsive after his manager said I had to take it in to their office. I shouldn’t have to take it to the office to file a claim. I work Monday - Friday, I have kids, and the nearest one is about 45 mins from me.
So then my husband tries to leave one day, the pickup won’t start. Our entire electronics is ruined because of the water damage because of their inability to do their job correctly and make it right. I can’t get anyone on the phone still. My husband went back to the 3rd technician and he started out seeming helpful like he was with me. Now HE IS unresponsive. Told my husband that the manager would call. Still hasn’t called. So now my husband has to take a day off, lose a day's worth of wages to travel up there to get someone face to face. I will NEVER work with Safelite again. I PRAY they make this right in the end. We don’t have the means to fix all of this out of our own pocket and our pickup is paid off. We can’t afford a new one. I wish I would have just lived with the giant crack and never had it fixed in the first place.

I was given a written quote for a new windshield for $1031.99. I later received a text saying if I scheduled the install, I would receive a $150.00 additional discount. When a brought the discount to the attention of the staff at the counter, they called the manager. He confirmed that it was something new that Safelite just started. However, they ignored the discount offer. I made a claim with my insurance when the job was completed. Safelite, however, invoiced my insurance for $1716.80. I'm not sure why they would double the price for my insurance. I now know one of the reasons my rates have gone up 25% percent. The installation itself was very well done.

I had Safelite replace a drivers side front door power window regulator on my Nissan Quest van. I had the repair done in another state. The regulator failed again after 10 1/2 months. The Safelite website says "Quote": Under our nationwide lifetime warranty, all auto glass and power window motor replacements are warrantied against defects in material or workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle on which auto glass or a power window motor was installed. In order to qualify for warranty coverage, all defects must be brought to the attention of Safelite AutoGlass within 30 days of discovery. End Quote.
The technician did come to my house and look at it and confirmed that the same part needed to be replaced again. Safelite now says that the repair is not covered under their warranty and will not repair it. I had to pay out of pocket to have it repaired again with another shop. They DO NOT stand behind their parts or labor and their warranty not worth anything.

The commercials are misleading as to how easy it is to book them. After several online tries to schedule I was told they didn't service in my area so I had to come to them. It was interesting that the nearest location was not that far from me. That appointment was also rescheduled by them as when I called they hadn't got insurance approval and insurance had no record of contact. The scheduling and customer service is a mess. Installed wasn't bad.

I would give them a 0 if I could. Right before my appointment, they called and said my insurance would not cover manufacturer glass. Okay… I never requested it. The tech changed the order for some reason. So rescheduled. Second appointment, the kid arrives and says he is getting an error message for my front camera. I told him BMW gives error messages whenever anything is wrong and I was getting no message. Refused to put in new windshield. Brought to BMW to check. They said exactly what I told the kid. The car would have let me know and Safelite always says this. I ended up using a local glass company and there was no error message. And no need to even recalibrate the camera. Push for someone other than Safelite.

They came to replace my windshield and told me the suction cup released the windshield and it dropped and shattered. Told me they had to install it anyway and would repeat replace. OK--but next day saw my car in the sun and realized they scraped my hood and touched it up with the wrong color white paint (trying to hide the body damage they caused). I could not reach a manager on the phone to discuss this with me. I eventually emailed and called corporate. Was told I could not submit photos of body damage and their tech would when he came out. He did and I then heard from the manager. Told me they would get the body damaged repaired. Told them I needed a rental car. Told me he would call back with rental info-didn't.
I had to call numerous times again to reach a manager. While I had the rental I would try to call to update the manager so he could adjust the rental car as needed-always takes multiple phone calls to reach anyone (they frequently don't answer the phone at all and you can't leave a message). I now have my car back. Due to poor communication, dishonesty, damage, etc. I would not recommend this company and would never use them again.

Booked online and went to first appointment. Was told to come back as windshield was blacked out where rain sensor should be. They told me I would need to make another appointment and they would get the right glass. Came back for a second appointment, waited over 2 hours and they installed the glass but when they brought the car around, I realize they had installed the exact same window and my rain sensor was now blacked out. To make things even worse, they broke the clips on my overhead console and couldn’t get it put back up correctly so I would need to come for a third appointment. Made a third appointment and came back and this time they installed the correct windshield but still couldn’t get my overhead console correct and said they needed to order more clips.
Made a fourth appointment as a mobile appointment so they would come out to me. Called customer service on the day of the appointment and asked them to have the technician give me 30 minutes notice before his arrival and made sure they had my correct phone number. I was assured this would happen. As I should’ve expected, the technician calls me after he arrived and I wasn’t quite home yet so he had to wait for me to arrive and finally fixed the issue. Throughout this I contacted Safelite corporate and was told a manager would contact me which also never happened. Safelite support is almost impossible to get in touch with. Not sure how this company is still in business.

I had a side window replaced on May 2nd with Safelite on my 2022 Ram Promaster City. 2 weeks later, the first time we used the window, it did not roll back up. Due to our busy workload, the first time I as able to get it in for a warranty appointment was today. The technician that came out was thorough in finding the problem, after making phone calls, he advised me that Safelite will not cover this under warranty. I was told that it was missing a plastic piece that attaches to the widow regulator that catches the window and rolls it back up. He was told to tell me "a window breaking can weaken the regulator, resulting in it not working."
Now, I have video of this window breaking from the rock, along with pictures of this after it broke the. The window regulator was never operated until the technician replaced the window. There was no way it could have weakened the regulator. This seems very suspicious in try to not stand behind the warranty you offer. My next step is to file complaints with the BBB, uploading the video and photo. It is extremely unfortunate that Safelite will not truly stand behind their work.

I do not understand why my insurance company USAA is directly linked to Safelite to fix windshields so help me God. I was scheduled for an appointment on Tues 14 May and they could not wait for USAA to process the claim that I has just made an hour and 30 minutes ago. They called me and tried to force me to get in contact with the insurance company to expedite the payout. When I was reluctant the Safelite guy canceled my appointment after we got off the phone. So rude. My insurance company redid the claim for Friday. I get there and they say, "Oh you requested an OEM so you owe us $203." Then all of sudden they can't calibrate the windshield that has yet to be installed and then it has a scratch.
Now mind you I have already prepaid for the amount not covered by my lackluster insurance company. Now Safelite got to order another windshield for my Range Rover. They thought I was going to come in there and take any windshield because I bet anything they never had the OEM one from the start. I asked for my money back and I will not be returning.

We have 5 cars in our family at any given time and have used Safelite multiple times over the last 7 years. We were always pleased with their work. That being said, we have never had a warranty issue until now. I had my windshield replaced by Safelite about a week ago. During that one week time, the windshield popped, I guess from stress. We made a warranty appointment to have it replaced today and they would not cover it under the warranty, stating it was not their fault and this is a new "hit". I would like to add that we have a zero deductible with our insurance. One way or another, this windshield replacement was going to cost us nothing. But why should we file a claim with our insurance if this is a result of Safelite's installation just 7 days before?
Safelite refused to replace the glass under their warranty. We called our insurance, and they graciously filed a new claim for us (costing us nothing). I have asked them to find a different vendor for us to use. Going forward, Safelite will no longer have our business because they failed us on their promise of warranting their work. A big miss for them as we have been loyal customers for years and had recommended them too. Never again.

I promise if I could give negative stars I would. I took the day off to have my windshield replaced, after speaking with the tech who told me he would be on his way after his current job I received a call from the same tech and he told me he was not coming. After asking why the tech explained because it was raining. I explained that it was not raining where I was tech stated that if it is raining anywhere he can not come? What? So it is raining 60 miles from my location and it isn't raining here and you can't come?
Now, to be honest it did rain in my location about 5 hours after the tech called. The tech also told me that he could not get me into the shop because they were full. I asked if he could meet me at the shop and do it there and he said no. He said he would have shop call me and hung up. I will make sure that I tell everyone the way I was treated. I'm one of those that also come on and give my experience for a good experience wish this would have been that. Should have looked at the reviews first. Now I am stuck until next week with a busted windshield.

I had scheduled a windshield replacement through Safelite, but it was cancelled twice due to stock issues. Between the two cancellations, I found out that an authorization was needed for the original glass, but I was not informed about this requirement. As a result, I had to wait for 6 weeks and make multiple phone calls to resolve the issue. The system even locked my number, making it impossible for me to contact them. The representatives seemed unaware of how the system works. Although my insurance representative had put me on hold and called Safelite to inform them that the authorization was approved, the very next day Safelite was not aware of the approval and the representative did not know how to read her screen regarding stock. I would advise staying away from this company if you want to save yourself from unnecessary stress and frustration

Took my car to replace the back windshield. As they prep the car they noticed they had the wrong part so I was told they had to reschedule me. They scratched the car when they were preparing the car. I came back a few days later to talk to the manager and file a complaint about what happened and to find a resolution. The manager was not friendly at all. I was told to leave the shop, they called the police on me and was told I couldn't come back. The police report states that no threats were made and nothing happened. So why did the manager have to call the cops on me? To intimidate me? So that they would not be held accountable for what they did to my car? Because of the color of my skin?

I have an Audi Q5. I had my original windshield cracked while installing new wiper blades at an Advanced Auto. Now I am on my 3rd replacement through Safelite. All within 4 years. I am 65 and have never had a chip in my windshield much less had to replace three. All cracks were from the side with no obvious impact. I just get into the car (in the garage) and a crack has appeared. Common sense would tell you, something isn't right. On the 3rd replacement, the technician was unable to restore the calibration so they ordered an Audi replacement windshield. I really wish USAA would find another company to recommend replacing windshields. The reviews are horrible.

I would give negative stars if I could. DO NOT take your vehicle to them. They do shoddy work and do not care. I had my windshield replaced a year ago by this location of Safelite only to find they put the wrong size windshield in AND improperly installed it. This caused a leak which could not be seen until a year later when almost $7000 of damage was done to my 2022 Tacoma. It had to be taken all the way down to the metal and I had to pay for Servpro to come out because of all the mold and mildew I had been breathing for a year.
I gave Chris (the manager) the chance to make this right. He wanted to replace the windshield. I told him, "No. You already proved unable to do that job." He sat in my truck and said “I don’t smell anything. We can have it detailed and the carpets dried.” Well Chris I’m sure you’d be perfectly ok with a family member breathing mold spores but I’m not. I ended up having to file a comprehensive claim against Safelite to have the work done right. Now I have mold and mildew on my CARFAX. Seriously people. It is NOT worth it!

The tech was not provided with some special tools so we needed to schedule a follow-up appointment. Another frustrating nightmare because the system hung up. I called 4 times and each time the system hung up on me regardless of the option I chose.
Safelite closed the claim (I had foolishly paid for the replacement) before the work was completed. Finally, the cost of the replacement was $522 and we had a $500 deductible.

I get in the car and drove home. Glass looked good to me so I didn't pay attention to anything else.
Weeks later I noticed as I am washing the car that the hood of the car on the driver side doesn't sit even to the fender as it does on the passenger side. It sits way higher on the driver side and there is a large gap between the hood and fender, also some of the cosmetics on the windshield was not reinstalled properly, so I called them. They sent someone out but he said he couldn't do anything. He then took pictures and told me he was going to go back to the office to talk management and the technician that did the work and someone would contact me within three days.
Well I never got that call, so I called and I was told they didn't remove the hood of the car and took pictures of the car prior to the work being done. I was told that I could bring it by but basically they were not going to do anything. So I paid almost 500.00 to these people to replace my windshield and wipers which was broken within three weeks and I had to pay some more money to replace the wiper. Now I am also responsible for fixing the hood that safelite auto glass damaged. I know for a fact the pictures they took does not reflect my hood with that gap.

My insurance company sent me to them to replace my windshield. My car was only under a year old with no prior repairs or issues. Minutes after I road away from the garage, I started having problems. All six of my windows kept fogging, even on dry, sunny days, there is a large gap between my closed door and dashboard, air comes in through the crack making it difficult to get and maintain a temperature, it whistles through the crack when I drive, it is obvious my dashboard was tampered with and not reattached properly, and all this has brought the value down on a brand new vehicle.
I've taken it back to the Arlington, TX location at least four times, but they keep making up excuses, such as I don't see it, we didn't do it, we didn't touch the dashboard, and such. I've taken it to three auto repair places, including my dealership and another auto glass repair place and they pointed out the obvious signs that the dashboard has tampered with causing the gap that causes my door to separate from the dashboard. It's horrible and I'm still fighting for them to own up to it and make repairs. Please stay away from this place. I may have to get an attorney or have it inspected by a government agency.

I am compelled to express my dismay and frustration regarding an unfortunate experience with Safelite Auto Glass. Upon contacting Nationwide to initiate a claim for glass repair, I learned, to my consternation, that they have delegated all such claims to Safelite. Given my reservations about entrusting my vehicle to Safelite, I sought to mitigate any potential issues by selecting an approved repair shop from Nationwide's list of providers. Despite this precautionary measure, my experience was mired in confusion and miscommunication when the chosen shop questioned my alleged directive to Safelite, denying authorization for any ancillary repairs—a directive I certainly did not issue.
When I reached out to Safelite for clarification, their response was as perplexing as it was disconcerting. They not only contradicted the information provided by the repair shop but further insisted that my vehicle was, in fact, not at an approved facility, urging me to relocate it to a Safelite establishment posthaste—a claim blatantly at odds with the truth. This debacle has left me in the cumbersome position of pursuing subsequent reimbursements for the additional repair work, a process Safelight appears to be obstructing with great diligence.
In light of this episode, my advice to fellow consumers would be to reconsider their affiliation with Nationwide, especially concerning glass coverage, and to exercise caution if not outright avoidance of Safelite's services. The analogy that springs to mind is that Safelite seems to adopt the persistence of an unwelcome condition in the realm of automotive insurance.

Had an install done Sept 2023, window was installed incorrectly, ripped my interior rails and broke outer trim clips, a rep from Safelite came out, said he will relay this to Rebecca in Latham office. To date no one reached out even though I left several messages. I have a car I can't even use, this cost me over 800.00 for crap service.

I normally don’t write reviews as I don’t normally have time to waste on it…. However after the sheer mess and incompetents that took place with me. I’m making an exception. I have dealt with Safelite a few times over the years and never had a problem. But for some reason that Safelite office at 11105 Landmark 35 Drive in San Antonio has been hands down the WORST experience I have ever had in my life. The poor customer service I received is estrous!
First, they send me numerous message stating they will be at my house at the agreed upon date and time. The day of the appointment, the technician arrives at my house to a repair on one car and was supposed to be there to replace the windshield on the other. He proceeds to tell me he doesn’t have my windshield and needs to call his office for direction. They office calls me up and informs me they can’t install my windshield from home due to the type of car and windshield my car requires. AGAIN, THIS IS THE DAY AND MOMENT OF MY APPT! They tell me they would like to schedule an appt the next day for installation. I agreed to do this even after I took time off from work to being here for this appt. STRIKE ONE!!! Then the customer rep on the phone puts me on hold for 10 minutes and comes back and tells me that they thought they had one in their warehouse, but it was cracked and would need to order a new one.
The new one was coming in from Georgia and would take 5-8 days to arrive and they would contact me once it was there in their shop. We planned 10 days later for me to bring in my CAR to installation of the windshield. I dropped it off the night before my appt. The next day I got a call from Safelite telling me that the windshield they ordered was not the right one and they would need to contact their office to procure the correct one. STRIKE TWO!!
I asked to see the manager when I got there to pick up my car. The manager tells me “My car has a heating element to it and the one they ordered didn’t have one.” I asked him why was this not researched ahead of time before ordering the wrong one and they were very unprofessional, incompetent, and frustrating! He proceeds to apologies for the delays and then give me this song and dance about this being the nature of the glass business (Whatever that means!!) He asked me to be patient as he is now personally handling this order and will see if he can expedite the glass.
A week goes by, and I didn’t hear anything from them. I had to call them to get a update of what’s happening with my windshield. The manager tells me that my new windshield is now coming from Ontario CA and it's going to take ANOTHER 10 Days to get here. I was not happy with this news, and he proceeds to tell me about the nature of the glass business again. NOT SOMETHING YOUR CUSTOMER WANTS TO HEAR!! He then asked me to be patient once again as some glasses doesn’t come in for 3 to 4 months. I decided to give this one last shot. 10 days goes by and AGAIN, I had to call to find out what the plan was and get a update of where things stand. He calls me back then tells me that the glass was supposed to be on a truck arriving Oct 17th. It was the 16th and said nothing came then so they were expecting it tomorrow but once it arrives, he would alert me and have me come in immediately.
I didn’t hear from him until afternoon on the 17th and proceeds to tell me that Glass is NOT on the truck, and they called to check on it for the 18th shipment and it wasn’t on that truck either! They had no idea where this windshield was or when/if it was going to arrive EVER. Like it just vanished like a fart in the wind!! THIS WAS THE LAST STRIKE!!! DONE! I was infuriated with the absolute terrible treatment and sheer incompetence this office has given me. I immediately told them to cancel my account and I would be taking my business elsewhere as I was done being jerked around. I have always had good with my previous ventures with Safelite but this office was by far this office was an absolute dump fire! I am now going to make an official complaint with their corporate office as no customer should ever have to be treated like this again. RUN FROM THIS OFFICE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!

Safelite is one of the worst companies I ever contacted. It is impossible to speak to someone; they give you a quote without explanations, and you get to talk to a phone prompt. Companies like that do not need to be in business. They have a fishy business.

Absolutely horrible horrible horrible. Had appointment rescheduled three different times and when the guy finally came out to try and fix our window he didn't even fix the window because he said that there was wires crossed in the door. Went to another shop to have the window repaired and said the only thing that was wrong was a piece of plastic needed to be popped back into place and they fixed our window within 15 minutes. Also come to find out that the guy that came out to do our window put a bunch of stuff in the Door backwards and blamed me that he could not complete his job. He waited for me to walk away from my husband to tell my husband "If it wasn't for your wife pushing out the window I would have been able to finish my job."
On top of him not completing the job when we went to try and leave to go to the store that day come to find out he killed our battery and the window on the passenger side will no longer scroll up and down from the driver side window. I have had to find a way to pull over $400 out of my own pocket in order to fix the repairs that were caused due to the technician's incompetent behavior and an inexperience to complete the task. Absolutely unprofessional rude and non helpful.

First, I was told it would take a week to bring in my windshield, but they kept calling the day of my appointment to tell me it's going to be another week. It took three weeks. I should have canceled right there, but I didn't. Second, the Provo location had my car all day, which is fine if it were tough to fix, but my car app notified me when they actually started working on it, which was an hour before they closed. That might explain the horrible quality of service, rushing to get it done before close since they had it all day. So why the appointments, and why did I drop it off in the morning. Third, they moved my wipers out of alignment. They kept smacking the side of my car when used on the freeway. It's a newer car so I wasn't about to mess with them myself, so I had to take it to the dealership to fix.
Fourth, and probably not final, I finally got fed up with how dirty they left the windshield on the inside of my car, so I tried to clean it. Turns out it's some kind of defect/smear inside the sheets of glass. Nothing to clean on the inside or outside of the windshield. So now I've got smears that are extremely noticeable in the sun and there's nothing I can do about it. Of course, the only suggestion Safelite is going to offer is 'bring it in to our repair center, again.' Nice, so who pays for my Lift? I might just deal with the smears before taking it back there. Who knows what they'll mess up if taken a second time. I tried calling, but the automated message says no one's available and keeps directing me to go online. Never again.

The days of being able to speak with someone in an actual shop location are long over without jumping through loops and loops....You only get to do so if the operator elsewhere can't get the answer you need, even if you already said that you will need to speak to the shop, because you too are a shop and have a specific need. They also wouldn't talk to me if I didn't open an acct and after they took all my info, disconnected the call. I call back, and they have to start over because nothing was in the system. They won't install used glass. Given 4 numbers before I gave up. Horrible.

Safelite corporate worked with me for resolution and overall satisfied all of my complaints. Thank you Bonita **. I believe Safelite corporate does care about their customers and went above and beyond to make things right.

I wish I would’ve never called Safelite. My Lexus has a hydrophobic coating on my windshield that the technician scraped off with a razor blade and sandpaper after trying to get the repair to stick to my windshield numerous times. After the technician scraped my coating off my windshield, I washed my car and noticed both spots where he damaged my windshield. I sent the technician a picture of the damage 1 hour after he left, and he replied asking me to drive 30 minutes to his shop, so he can evaluate the damage done to my vehicle, when I declined he said that was my prerogative. So the cherry on top… he also used foul language in the presence of my 17-month-old baby girl. I will never use Safelite again for anything and I would advise anyone else to avoid this place if you value your vehicle!

Set up replacement windshield through my insurance. They said if I owed anything, the tech would tell me after service. Tech said nothing about a bill, so I assumed insurance covered it all. Next day I received a call saying insurance didn’t cover it and I owed $350. I informed them that I wanted to reach out to my insurance to confirm prior to paying, and the rep said ok. I called 2 business days after service to pay the bill only to find out they had sent me to collections. I asked to speak with any of the 3 managers they have, and was told they were too busy and would call me back that day or the next day. Never heard from any of them. These guys are incompetent, and I will never use them again.

One month and three appointments and my windshield is still not repaired. Two times, technicians arrive without the correct part (despite knowing the make and model and year of my car). Once, they cancelled because the part was lost. If there is a mistake, be prepared to call them b/c no one will call you to reschedule (despite what the technician says). And when you call, be prepared to be transferred and tell your story to at least 3 different people. This is the ONE THING they do, and they can't get it right. Would NEVER use again.

Awful is the nicest thing I can say about these clowns. 2 missed appointments cancelled day of, claim windshield not in (which after the first missed appointment guaranteed there by second, nope), and the car is popular and everywhere else in Santa Fe has the windshield. You will spend hours dealing with clowns in a centralized center (you can never talk to the local place), who are fairly clueless, and then time spent changing all the insurance stuff around because you give up on Safelite.
I spent time reading reviews in 2 separate geographic areas, all awful. Missed appointments, never get to speak with local shop, horrible work in a number of cases, and their being clueless as to when a windshield comes in and has taken some folks months of waiting. How a big national company does not have a data base which can get windshields delivered quickly (which are widely availbible as in my case) and be able to track it is beyond corporate irresponsibility, stupidity and such an obvious problem that they are not fixing it speaks volumes about the company and their ability to properly run a business and respect their customers. Shame on them.

I stopped in and made an appointment to replace the cracked windshield on my two month old Lexus RX. A week later I showed up with my ride to drop off my car and was told they had no appointment scheduled for me. I made a new appointment for two weeks later because I requested an OEM windshield. I showed up with my ride again on time and dropped off my car and was told it would be done early that afternoon. At 4:00 that afternoon I came to pick up my car, it was parked in the parking lot so I went in the office to get my keys and pay my portion of the bill. The lady said the insurance paid the whole bill and no charge and gave me my key.
When I got in my almost new car I saw a hole in the leather upholstery and broken glass everywhere in the seats and damage to the console! My wife and the manager were standing next to the drivers door and my wife said "is that a hole?" The manager said "That was already there when you brought the car in." I said "NO it wasn't, look there is damage to the console too!" He said "I'm sure it was. We take pictures before we worked on it." I said, "Good let's go look at them." He left and after a few minutes came back and said "I can't prove it but I know we didn't do that!" I said, "I guess we'll have to gel lawyers involved then." He said "get it fixed and we'll pay for it." I took my car back to Lexus and had them repair the damage and Safelite paid the bill.
A while later, first storm, I turned on the windshield wipers and the passenger wiper didn't work so I stopped at the dealer and they asked if I had replaced the windshield and I said yes. They told me the windshield was not OEM and they had never tightened the wipers when they replaced them or correctly calibrated the heads-up display.

I had a chip from a rock in my windshield which was replaced by Safelite. Afterward there was wind coming in through the windshield when driving. I reported it and they sent another technician to fix it. He adjusted it and the next day a crack went all the way up my windshield. I called again and the employee on the phone admitted it was from pressure when adjusting it. They sent another technician to “fix” it. He called when he got to my car to say there was a chip which shows it was new damage from a rock- which was a total lie. When I told him that it was a lie, he went on to say I have a rust bubble and he won’t do anything until I fix it. The rust was tiny on the top of my car and nowhere that would interfere with the windshield placement. This is insurance Fraud.

I dropped off my car at 7:45 9/2/23- was there at 7:30 but they did not unlock doors till then- My scheduled appt was 9:30 but was informed to drop off 7:30 but before 9:30. At 12:30 pm the tech called me and said they were going to start working on car and there was a reading on camera saying broken glass code- Of course since I have a Mach 1 GT which alerted me of a cracked windshield there would be a code- I was asked to sign a waiver or take it to Ford Dealership- I was the first one there. No other cars were in shop - This reading should have take place before any other cars arrived. Not until 3 hrs after my appt time scheduled- The tech sounded very unknowledgeable regarding the calibration process- I will never use this company again because the techs are not up to date with new products especially calibration.
