    Definitely do not recommend. As I am writing this, my car is still not finished, and they have provided absolutely terrible customer service. I had an appointment a week ago to get my windshield fixed in my driveway. The technician came out and told me that I would have to bring it to a body shop because there was rust under the windshield. Fine, I understand that so I found a body shop and left the car there and let Safelite know where it would be.

    The technician called yesterday morning and said he was on his way there, but failed to update me at all throughout the day. I finally called the technician on his number at the end of the day. He said he was just waiting for the body shop to finish but he wouldn't have time to do it that day so he would be back the this morning. I have had no update from the technician all day. I called his number and got no answer. His voice mailbox was full. I tried calling the company. Everyone I spoke with was completely unhelpful, and some were just outright rude. I asked for a supervisor and someone from the office named Steph called back (and I don't know where this was since there are a lot of different locations and numbers and no one seems to know what is going on). I asked if they had an update on my car and she said no, that someone just told her to call. She was absolutely unhelpful.

    I tried the website, and my appointment could not be found, so I tried webchat. I was provided a different number online which connects to a different auto glass place (Champion auto glass??), and the voicemail just says: "I can't pick up now, please call back." No info about who I was calling or where they were. Everyone I talk with tells me something different. They were all extremely rude and unhelpful. I ended up screaming at them in frustration, which I know is not productive, but I am not sorry. They are horrible. They don't seem to have any way to contact their technician.

    The Safelite people told me it was my responsibility to coordinate with the body shop, even though the technician had told the body shop yesterday that he was coming back. I spoke with the body shop again, who said they were done and were just waiting on him to come by and finish, since that is what he told him he would do. I called the company again to let them know that I had spoken again with the body shop, and that they were just waiting on the technician.

    Now, Safelite said that the body shop would have to be the one to call them, even though I just told them that I had just spoken to the body shop and they were just waiting on the technician. The body shop is calling them now, but they are equally frustrated and says that someone has screwed up. I am still waiting on my car to be finished, and I not only did I have to take time out of work to try and contact these people, but I have not had access to my car so my family could get things done today. I really wish I could use a different company to finish this because I really don't want them to get any money for this. I will never use them again.

    I had my front windshield replaced on my 2021 Subaru wrx on 11/27/2021 in Dothan Al. My appointment was actually on 11/26/2021 and their office is 1 hour and 45 minutes from my house. I get there on the 26th and they take my car back. Then they call me to the desk saying that they got my glass out and the new one won’t fit and can’t release my car to me as it’s not drivable. Said the warehouse sent the wrong glass. The office manager drives me home and tells me to come back the next day on the 27th and it will be ready. I picked up a trailer and drove back over to get my car. It was finished. I then hauled the car the next day to Schenectady New York On my way up I realized that there was no windshield molding around the glass and there’s a 3/4 of a inch gap between the edge of the glass and the windshield frame.

    I called the store manager in Dothan Al. and explained to him that the molding was missing. He acted like he could care less and said several times that the molding is just for Cosmetics but if I had a problem with it the glass and install had a warranty and to just get with a branch in New York to do a warranty issue to get it fixed. I set up a warranty appointment with the Latham New York branch. A technician called me asking what exactly was the issue? I told him that the molding was missing and with the snow and ice being up north I’d like to have it put in plus the car came with it so it’s only right that it be replaced, it should be covered. He said to let him check to see if he had the parts to do it and he would call me back. Never heard another word from him.

    My appointment to go to that office was for 12/4/2021 at 1:00pm. Since I never heard back from anyone I called the office on the 4th to see if there was any use in even bringing the car for the appointment. A guy asked me for my number and looked at the system notes. He says no. The parts show on order but no ETA. He said someone will call me soon as it comes in. Here it is now the 9th and still no word from anyone about anything. I took it upon myself to just order the molding from the manufacturer myself because I don’t want to keep waiting on Safelite to not call again like they’ve already been doing and meanwhile salt and ice works its way around the glass and seal. The molding will be at my address on the 13th. How can I get the part so fast but a company that specializes in this field can’t? I stress to anyone to STAY AWAY FROM SAFELITE! They are crooks and do not care about your vehicle or you as a customer. They do crappy work and lie.

    Took a new car (Ford Transit) that had a small crack on the front windshield to the Safelite in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY location. The guys promised to order and replace, ended up ordering a wrong glass, then complained that they can not order and/or install the right glass. Meanwhile they took the old front windshield out and disassembled the plastic around the windshield and did not put it back; obviously the crack increased in size and now it was along the whole glass. They put the old one back, improperly (it was shaking), and to my question whether or not it is safe to drive like that (I was going for a long, 1000+miles drive), said that it's safe.

    Their unbelievable unprofessionalism and non-stop lying just made me wonder what makes them capable of obtaining and retaining the license of the AutoGlass technicians working for such a huge company/chain in the first place. Took the car to the private mechanic just down the road, who did not throw any promises, but did an excellent job on replacing the glass and fixing whatever damage was already done by Safelite.

    Do Yourself a Favor – Stay Away From This Business! If you’re considering taking your car to Safelite AutoGlass for repairs, please read this review so you understand up front how they operate. This business has very poor management, their workmanship is not consistent, and they are very inconsiderate of their customer’s time. Last January, I brought my Mercedes in to have the rear passenger window replaced due to a break-in. An older guy, who looked like he had a lot of experience, worked on my car. When he was finished, I checked it over, paid the bill, and gave him a tip for doing a great job. (Note: there is a window between the waiting room and the shop so you can watch the technicians working on your car).

    Last Saturday, I brought my 4Runner in to have the windshield replaced and was not happy with the results. The guys who did the work were young - they were careless with my car and did sloppy work. They chipped the paint in several places, and one of the molding pieces doesn’t fit right because the guy damaged it when he yanked it off the car (I saw him do it). Also, there was a lot of excess adhesive on the car body around the windshield.

    When they were finished with my car, I met one of the technician around front to look it over and pay - I told him I was not happy with their workmanship. Basically, he argued with me and gave me a bunch of excuses why the job should be acceptable. I was caught off-guard by all this and didn’t handle the situation the way I should have. I was expecting my car to look good, pay the bill and be out of there, but this was not the case. I asked him numerous times about the excess adhesive on the body, and he just kept saying, “That will come off.” He never once said anything about them taking it off for me, he just kept repeating himself, “That will come off.” He must have said it at least 6 times!

    The molding on the passenger side of the windshield looks good, but the piece on the driver’s side has a bulge and a large gap. Once again, we went back and forth – I told him it didn’t look right and he kept repeating himself, “That’s how it went back in. It’s ok.” When I refused to go along with his argument, he said, “Well, this is an older car.” He repeated that numerous times. I wasn’t expecting all this drama and it completely caught me off-guard. In hindsight, I should have asked to speak to a manager and refused to pay until they fixed these issues, but I had been there for over 3 hours and needed to leave because I had someone waiting on me, so I paid and left.

    What the technician was basically saying is that because it’s an older car, I shouldn’t expect the work to look perfect. That is ** because I have another 2003 4Runner just like this one and Gerber Collision replaced the windshield 2 years ago and it looks really good – there are no chips in the paint, they didn’t leave excess adhesive all over the place, and both of the side moldings look great.

    In the past 12 months, I’ve taken 2 cars to this shop for glass replacements. Both times, I made an appointment, drove out to the shop, sat in the waiting room for over an hour, only to be told they didn’t have the correct glass for my car and I would have to come back. Evidently, this problem is very common with Safelite. While I was there last Saturday, the same thing happened to a woman who had been in the waiting room for over an hour.

    I spoke to another woman who said this was her second trip - she left her car there for 4 hours, received several text messages that they were working on it, and then a message that it was finished and ready for pick-up. When she returned to the shop, she said her car was still parked where she left it, and nothing had been done. I made 2 trips to this place, spent over 3 hours there on Saturday, and the work they did was shoddy. To make matters worse, I had to deal with this guy who argued on and on with me that everything was ok and then asks me how I’m going to pay for it… What a NIGHTMARE!

    They did replace the windshield after bumbling around for while and calling a second van. Then they damaged a gate post pulling out. The driver denied it and accused me of damaging it. The manager of the Westchester store then was rude and defended his driver. No customer service. Now going to corporate and to local police to resolve. They are very hostile to their customers.

Waited 45 minutes until they were finally able to take me in which at that time I couldn't stay had to pick up kids from school. Wasted an hour and a half of my day and 30 miles round-trip in a full-size truck. I called and asked if they would be able to come to my house and do it there and they wanted to charge me $20 more. The person on the phone said there was no one there that could do anything about it. All I would've asked for is a phone call letting me know that they are shortstaffed and that there's going to be a wait I could've save myself a trip and rescheduled.

    The technician showed up on time and did a great job or so I thought. Apparently he forgot to remove my security alarm and remote start, I know that he forgot because he almost ripped all of the wiring out of the receiver. At some point he realized it and stopped pulling, but it was too late, it no longer works. I called them to tell them and was told that I needed another technician to come out to ensure I am not lying. They made appointment from 1200-1600. I left my car and drove my wife's. At 1630 when they still had not showed up, I called and the technician lied and said he called and came by. So my advice is to use them at your own risk because they have absolutely NO CREDIBILITY!

    If you're in the market for a company with horrible customer service and a useless warranty... then you've come to the right place! Safelite will happily screw up your installation and charge you top dollar. Then, when the poor installation becomes a problem, their nationwide network of service shops will promise to set things right, bill corporate for a full replacement and repair, then simply fill your car window's gaps with caulk.

    Got a complaint? No problem! Call their national phone line (888-212-5457) as many times as you want -- their cheerful automated system will walk you through a handy multilayered menu and then happily report that they can't take your call. Want to speak to a real person? Try sending an email to the entire leadership team: **. You won't get a response from anyone, but pressing that "send" button will help you feel better. Like all major American corporations, they are saving money and time... er, I mean "your money and time" (tee hee)... by securely ensuring that you won't ever have to talk to a human being or hold anyone accountable.

    I purchases a used car at Toyota of Plano, the front windshield had to be replaced. It was replaced under a special arrangement between Safelite and the Dealership in which there is no warranty. An independent glass company informed me that the Glass does not meet DOT safety regulations making it dangerous in case of an accident, The window leaked continuously across the top because the seal was not properly cleaned and primed, which has caused damage to the head line. Safelite has not answered my calls, and the dealership refused to help.

    Safelite replaced windshield at Ford Dealership prior to us purchasing SUV. A year late the rubber seal started coming off around the top of windshield while going down the road. Since Safelite has a warranty, I called and they refused to fix it stating the warranty is void upon transfer of vehicle ownership. Ford dealership refuses to fix it stating it was a Safelite repair. With that being said, DO NOT use Safelite due to poor installation. Make sure to note when you purchase or sell your vehicle, the warranty is void!

    September 2. Had chip repair on windshield on lower passenger side about 2 " long. As soon as chip happened I didn't drive or wash until repaired. Repaired and tech said could take thru car wash now with no problem. Waited one day, then washed. Repair was done poorly as now getting worse. Tech told me if repair fails can get money placed towards new windshield, about 800 for new so would put the 60 (insurance paid) towards new windshield cost. Told me twice so I guess he would do poor job so I have to get new windshield. I never have seen such a poor job on chip repair that should have lasted a lifetime that is already failing just after a car wash.

    Here is the Story in an email written to Safelite in 2019 that goes unanswered to this day: I never received a response to my survey response to the Safelite Warranty not being honored due to rust that was from a replacement done by Safelite in 2009 on my vehicle that cracked in June 2019. It has been just about 1.5 years with no response. This morning 3 6 21 I went to a Safelite Dealer with the same cracked windshield in the same (upper right corner passenger side).

    I was told by Technicians this was not a Safelite problem and the stress crack was due to rust. I have been driving around with Safelite Windshields for over 10 years. The windshield leaked causing rust to my car body and now I am told to get to the street and find a Body Shop? This is not right and it is not fair. Why is the rust my problem when the vehicle had no rust when the first Safelite windshield was installed in 2009? Now I am told by Safelite technicians that I need to go to a Body Shop for what I am sure will be an expensive repair involving cutting and welding new steel on my Car Frame as well as a new windshield.

    Something is not adding up.

    Safelite needs to respond to my critique of July of 2019 about why you do not honor your Warranties. Rust was not present when the first windshield was installed in 2009. Rust was present when the second windshield was installed in 2019. Rust was present when you attempted to install the 3rd windshield this morning in 2021. And an email was sent today 4 6 21 that I "cancelled" my appointment. This is NOT TRUE. Your Technicians said they could not install the new windshield due to rust (which in my opinion was caused by a faulty installation of a windshield in 2009 by Safelite)-THAT IS THE TRUTH. I DID NOT CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECORD. Stop playing Games about honoring your Warranty. If I do not speak to a QAQC Manager in the next 3 days I will post this Tale of Woe on every website I can think of.

    In July 2019, I had Safelite (San Rafael, California) replace a damaged windshield on my small RV built on a Sprinter Van chassis. I was charged $1,264.60 to have the windshield replaced with an OEM windshield that was ordered specially for my replacement. When the tech was finished and washing the windshield, he noticed an issue at the top center in the dark area where the camera was located. He called over another employee to examine it. I was told that there was a small crack but that it would not be a problem because it is in the dark area and would not be visible.

    Due to covid, I did not use the RV until January 2021 when I moved to Florida. My RV was then parked in an RV garage that was built as a part of my new home. It again sat there until May 2021, when following my vaccination for covid, I prepared it for a Memorial Day trip. I then noticed that the crack had extended from the dark area into my driver's field of view. I took it to the nearest Safelite in Florida to have it repaired under warranty. A tech examined the crack which had circled through the dark area and out and then declared that the crack was due to a rock hitting the windshield and, therefore, it would not be covered under warranty. I certainly would have known if a rock had hit my windshield and that had not happened.

    I asked for another tech to examine it and the first tech retreated into their back area and another tech eventually emerged. He spent some time examining the crack and eventually also stated that it was due to a rock hitting it and that it was, therefore, not covered by their warranty. He then gave me a quote for replacement of the windshield and the camera which together exceeded $1000. I declined. (Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.) I then contacted a local windshield replacement company with great reviews. I was charged $500.24 to replace the windshield. The existing camera was transferred to the new windshield and everything works fine.

    After paying the tech, I asked him to examine the damaged windshield to see if he could determine the cause of the crack. He did so and said that there was nothing obvious and sometimes windshields are just defective. I asked him if there was any indication that a rock or anything had hit it. He said that there was nothing to indicate that it had been hit by a rock or anything. So, if you want to pay twice as much for a windshield with a ** warranty, go see Safelite. They need help to pay for their fancy buildings and all of that TV advertising.

Then the next day the tech comes back and does the work and meanwhile I was not aware that they had taken photos previously and claim my window had additional issues and they did not do it.

    I phoned them and had to go to the shop and I had to argue with them about the issue and that the window was not like that and they claim the tech did not do any damage and I told them I would escalate this and go higher up and the claimed I was threatening them and would call the police. In the meantime they glued the area on the drivers side of the windshield and ordered the clips. My insurance paid them to do a job. If they do not pay for the clips, then I will file a complaint with BBB.

    I am deeply disappointed with their predatory insurance claim pricing policy. Prior to filing an insurance claim for a windshield replacement, I received a Safelite OEE (Original Equipment Equivalent) windshield quote for $320 plus taxes and additional fees. However, I went through their insurance comprehensive claim process and paid my $500 deductible for an OEM (Original Manufacturer Equipment) windshield. But, was told by the local Safelite associate the day after the installation, that because the OEM windshield was not in stock the OEE windshield was installed and the $500 deductible was still assessed, as well as an additional $304 bill to my insurance.

    I called Safelite’s Las Vegas local office to ask for clarification on why I am required to pay more for an OEE product going through my insurance, and was told that it is their existing agreement with the insurance company. The Safelite associate told me there was nothing that could be done and I’m liable to pay my deductible regardless of the windshield that is installed. I requested to speak with my insurance company to ensure they are aware of the practice and we completed a three way call to confirm the policy. The insurance representative recommended we withdraw the insurance claim and go with the cash payment option. When the cash payment option was provided the $500 deductible was refunded and a cash payment of $449 was assessed to me directly.

    If Safelite was transparent in their windshield replacement pricing, prior to installation, I would not have chosen to pay $449 for an OEE windshield that was originally quoted at $320, plus taxes/fees. In addition, in the selection process when completing a windshield replacement with an insurance claim the consumer is not allowed to strictly select the OEM preference. Consumers are allowed to pay their deductible without any refund option with Safelite, even if the OEE option is less expensive than the the consumer's deductible, while also charging the insurance company additional fees. This is highly disingenuous, predatory, and misleading to consumers who seek a quality product from what is marketed as a reputable and honest company.

    Consumers should be aware of the predatory insurance claim policy and ensure that Safelite is not overcharging them or their insurance for an inferior product. It is disappointing that Lexus of Las Vegas recommended their services without understanding the predatory pricing policies practiced. Stay away and shop around for other windshield replacement options. Attached are an invoice copy with inflated prices assessed to my insurance and myself, and a copy of the original quote for an OEE windshield replacement.

Safelite's mgr said that he received approval for a refund, but two weeks later I had to follow up because I never received any confirmation. Every time I called and went down to the location they had a different reason. I am so frustrated and through with this type of service.

    I own a 2014 GNC, ACADIA. My windshield has taken much abuse before a rock fell off the sand truck and cracked it. I waited three years to replace it and was recommended by my trusted mechanic to use Safelite AutoGlass service. I made an "online appointment" with few questions in regard to my windshield HUD (a specialty I had no clue about). Six days later I drove to Sunland CA, and had the window replaced. After 10 days of a road trip, I decided to wash my dirty auto and lifted windshield wipers. The right wiper became caught in the towel, came apart, and smacked the right corner of the window, and cracked it.

    When I returned to the company the following day to challenge the quality of the glass, I was told that my windshield was an aftermarket product from reputable manufacturer. Indeed, I was under the 'impression' that I was purchasing OEM. Their web did not state that OEM was available for purchase, nor their employees have explained that this option is available. After speaking to a salesperson, then an assistant manager, they proclaimed that it's not their problem that I was not well informed. Also, the salesperson claimed that the OEM HUD windshield replacement would cost me $1800, an expense I would be willing to endure for a quality product. I am planning to challenge this purchase with the corporate department. A national company such as Safelite should be ashamed to practice such fraud. Small claims court is next! No unsuspecting 'little 'customer should be abused this way! Beware!

    Tech said all day, Manager said they are NOT replacing it today.

    The windshield has the noticeable ripples on the passenger side even with the OEM (as they said and there's Toyota written on it), however, bit better than the Chinese one they installed before and I am not interested in torturing my car by replacing the glass on and on and until I really feel for it, I'll just leave it as it is right now! One thing I forgot to mention that the employees I talked to (along with the technicians) were nice but I really do think that they need to fix this issue with cheap disputed glasses. 2 stars for them only.

    Original Review: Dec. 7, 2020

    I noticed couple of cracks on my windshield so I claimed the insurance and Geico patched me up with them and first time they replaced with the aftermarket glass. That had terrible amount of ripples and distortion so upon calling them back and demanding the OEM glass, they worked out with Geico and replaced the windshield again with the OEM and that has more ripples and distortion than the previous cheap Chinese ones they installed before.

    I am so frustrated at this point because it's affecting my driving experience and keep claiming the lifetime warranty is not the solution. Unless you know their direct location number, you are out of luck, the phone bot will tell you to go to their website and then hang up! Are they carrying fake/disputed OEM glasses? I don't know, 90% possibility but I will never recommend Safelite to anyone. I did my mistake by not going to the authorized center for the replacement and claim the insurance afterwards and suffering, don't do the same mistake and stay away from this company.

There are also heat and cold issues that can contribute to failures among other things. My repair was done in September in Southern Texas during hot weather. Although at a glance you see their workmanship guarantee and feel comfortable but after reading all the gibberish, in layman terms the guarantee only offers you a credit of what has been paid toward a new windshield, NO WONDER THERE ARE SO MANY FAILED chip repairs!

    Zero stars, if possible. I purchased a repair of a tiny (2 mm at most) chip in my windshield. Before agreeing to the repair I was NOT given in verbal or written form any information about the fact that the repair may cause the crack to open further and require a new windshield. If I knew this damage could happen, I would have never agreed to the repair. Within a week of the work, my chip had transformed into a larger crack requiring a new windshield, which is not possible with authentic parts in my case. Again, I would have never agreed to the repair had I known in advance this could happen.

    I notified my credit card (the one I used to pay), who notified Safelite about my complaint. Through my credit card, Safelite returned my money to me. However, Safelite then sent me a threatening letter stating they would send my information to a collection agency. Since then, I have received harassing telephone calls to a telephone number I gave Safelite so they could text me information about the work in progress, not sell or give to another party or company, which they did against my consent. All this and I'm on the do-not-call registry. So, basically, if you want shoddy word and harassment after you complain, then Safelite is the business for you.

They said they found rust and "fixed" it but they never called me. Last time I checked anytime work needs to be done that it is not on the work order requires customer approval; they never got my approval. I picked up my truck and later that day part of my cowl fell out at which point I found several screws missing and laying out not installed. After replacing my cowl myself I noticed that one of the mounting tabs for the windshield was missing.

    Upon further inspection by another glass shop (not Safelite) they said the gap between my roof and top of my windshield was excessive. I have contacted Safelite several times and rather than pay for another shop to get my glass replaced properly they want me to sign a release of liability form that is actually partially illegal. They are refusing to talk to me until I sign this form. So now I will seeking legal action against them as well as contacting their CEO directly. DO NOT HAVE THEM WORK ON YOUR CAR!!! DO NOT SIGN THEIR RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM BECAUSE IT IS PARTIALLY ILLEGAL!!! They will not take liability for any work they do. They certainly have not taken liability for any improper work they have done to my truck.

    I had a broken windshield and need the replacement. I called Safelite for an appointment. It recommended me to make an appointment using its website. After the appointment, a technician came to my house and found that he brought the wrong type of windshield. He then changed the appointment to the next day. A different technician brought a new windshield the next day, after he cut my windshield into several pieces, he found that the new windshield still did not fit. He then glued the old windshield back to my car, and said that he will have to order the correct windshield again. I was scared to death when I drove my glued-back and cut into several pieces windshield to work.

    I am glad that my windshield was finally fixed. My friends recommended me to write a review for my experience so hopefully other customers will be able to avoid the same experiences I just had. Therefore, my recommendation is that the company should use the vehicle's VIN number to find the correct windshield instead of the make and year.

    Before I get started with the issue, I would like to say that the two technicians Daniel on day one and Isaac on day two were wonderful when it came to being professional and courteous. So now to the issue at hand; I took my 2019 Acura MDX in to have the windshield replaced. Not happy with the overall experience. I had to have two different appointments that I did not make a fuss over but now I need a third appointment...not happy.

    At the first appointment they put in an aftermarket glass and the recalibration did not work so they had to order a dealer glass. No communication until I showed back up at closing time. I was the 2nd person to show up at 0730 and my car was still sitting there when my husband picked me up at 0945. I was told the recalibration took 4 hours. They tried to make me think I bought a lemon because it was expressed that due to the way the cameras sat in the vehicle (like wrong) they had issues that happen but not often. It was an Acura defect was how it was told to me. So, I had to sign a paper to drive off with functions not working and unavailable until I returned.

    Now on day 2, I arrived at 10AM and was out by 1:30 with glass replaced and recalibration (that was fast). After driving a while, I noticed the idle stop function was still unavailable. I waited till my husband came home and he went over all the settings and determined for whatever reason that function still wasn't available. So, I called Safelite through my insurance and was given the runaround for hours. I actually spoke to numerous people. By the 5th phone call, I determined they have monopolized the industry and it isn't fair. I can't turn left or right without having to deal with Safelite directly instead my insurance company and the dealership. The only way I can go to the dealership is to go back to Safelite (who I don't trust at this point) and let them check the vehicle over.

    The manager at Rancho was too much (nice, rude and disrespectful)...go figure. I told him I was going to call the dealership to ask questions as to reasons one of the functions on the vehicle was not available anymore. The manager asked that I not do that because the dealership is going to hear Safelite and already assume something wrong was done. I am not comfortable going back to the Rancho Cucamonga location for multiple reasons and one being the fact that when the manager mentioned it could be a flip of the switch and maybe it got broken but they will take care of it...no thank you. My car is a 2019, I am the first owner and bought the vehicle approximately 2 months ago with less than 10 miles on it. I am tired of going there and tired of repeating the issue to person after person. Enough is Enough!!! Next time dealership!!!

    This is a huge gimmick!!! The tech will come and state and I quote "the crack may still show but it will be much less noticeable." I can deal with that verses the crack getting worse in time and less cosmetic issues is okay. I paid $167 for one little not even a pencil head size chip and and 1 and 1/2 inch crack to be filled. The pencil size one had improvement even though there are small hairline cracks around it now but the other looks like he didn't do anything. So what the gimmick is is you are not satisfied with the result they will that the price of the repair off of a NEW WINDSHIELD. If the tech and or the wording in the advertisement has stated...by performing this procedure the cosmetic visualization will likely not change in appearance at all, I would for $167 thought twice about getting this done and simply got the windshield replaced once the crack got to that point.

    Then I called the repair tech back to see how this could be fixed and he said there was nothing he could do because the resin has already cured and again, if you are not happy you can always put the price of the repair towards a new windshield which is ultimately their goal.

    This is my second unhappy experience with Safelite. A storm blew a sign into my windshield while I was at work. It was late so I reported the damage to my insurance company via a partner service they use. The next day, I didn't hear anything back so I contacted my local agent who told me to just set up with Safelite myself. I called and was on hold through a phone tree until finally getting a message they are only making appts online due to Covid. Fine, I set up an appt. for the following Monday (6 days later). While setting it up, I used a promo code that was supposed to take $35 off the self-pay price. I asked them to check my insurance because I thought I had $100 deductible on glass. I got a confirmation message that had no price listed but said they were waiting on my deductible.

    Later, I received reminder emails and texts that that noted on the bottom that my deductible was $500 (I changed insurance companies and believed my lower glass deductible was included in new insurance but it turned out it wasn't). I was never given a price until the tech called at 8:30 AM the day of the appt. He said since my deductible was higher than the actual cost, it would be self-pay rather than insurance claim. OK. I asked if the price was with the promo code. He said, "You can't use a promo code with an insurance claim." I was confused. This was not an insurance claim once they found my deductible was higher than actual cost.

    The tech came and replaced the windshield. I paid full price, figuring I could deal with the promo code issue later, not his fault. It seems to be fine. I installed new wipers last evening and drove it to the store, discovering my windshield washer didn't work. Opened the hood to find the line broken at the point it goes from engine compartment to under the hood. My van is also full of glass, way more than when it initially broke. I went through the whole phone tree thing again, ended up with a recorded message to email or text. I sent a text. Was told broken line was a warranty issue and set up another appt. I'm going on a trip in a few days. I'll take it to the Safelite store. The guy at the counter told me twice it was probably just unplugged. No, it is clearly broken. He looked, went inside, brought out a rubber elbow and pushed the broken ends into it. Woot, the washer works! I'm good with that.

    I went back to the text conversation and told them that issue was resolved but there was the promo code issue. Was told, again, "You can't use a promo code on an insurance claim." And I told them that it was not an insurance claim, it ended up being a self-pay. That Safelite removed the promo code and didn't reapply it once it became a self-pay. "Since the job is already completed and invoiced we aren't able to add the promo now" Which I then said it was used prior to job being scheduled and they removed it. "We are unable to apply the code to an insurance claim, promo codes can only be be use for cash claims only." And I paid cash! Then they said the claim was set up by my insurance company. Which it was not. My insurance company never even got the claim from their partner (roadside service and glass claims) once the partner learned my deductible was higher than actual cost.

    So to sum it up, the Safelite tech broken my washer line and I was overcharged. The first got a fix (hopefully it will hold up) and the second they don't care. I mentioned this was the second bad experience. The first they came to my house to repair two chips in my windshield. These WERE insurance claims. Guy tells me he has self-pay on the order. I tell him my insurance company was on conference call with with me while adding Safelite into the call to schedule the service. He argues. Then he looks at the chips and decides since it snowed that he can't do the repairs. He says they don't like it when the techs don't do what they came to do. So he called the office and told them--while I am standing in the driveway next to him--that I refuse to allow him to perform the service because I don't want to self-pay. And he left.

    I called the store and told them he lied. That I was standing right next to him when he called and that the issue was not my refusal to pay. The issue was him telling me it was not no cost to me insurance claim but a self-pay. And that he apparently didn't want to do the repair. Store guy tells me to bring the vehicle in, they have time to do the repair in the garage. So it got done and it was actually no cost to me. The repairs were not great though. I've had chips repaired before that were barely visible, these were more obvious after repair. I will not use Safelite again and will be letting my insurance company and local agent know about my experiences.

    We used SafeLite to fill a chip in our windshield. They ended up causing a crack during the repair, which required us to replace the windshield instead of just fill the chip. Within 24 hours of replacing the entire windshield, we had a new crack. SafeLite insists that it was caused by something hitting the windshield and it was not their fault. When I questioned the quality of their materials if their windshield can't last 24 hours, the manager told me "it happens all the time". They wouldn't stand by their work and wouldn't work with us at all. We ended up going elsewhere to have the 2nd windshield replaced and had a much better experience. We'll never use SafeLite again.

    Repair w/o ** was a repair of a chip in the windshield. The "Repair" fell out. When I contacted Safelite for warranty repair, I was told they could only sell me a new windshield. At the time of the repair, I asked about the warranty and did not get a straight answer. Now I know why. The warranty is worthless. Funny part is, they say that it's a lifetime warranty. Never again.

    From start to after service this was the worst experience I have ever had with auto repair. Technician arrived late and was a sweaty mess, smelled foul and did not seem to respect the fact that he was working in my garage. There was no respect for social distancing or sanitation. The windshield actually looks worse after the repair. Further, the technician apparently did not close my door properly which caused an interior light to stay on and drained my battery. This resulted in my having to spend more time with roadside assistance. Neither the technician or Safelite customer service would return my calls, text or email. I will never ever use Safelite again!!!

    They replaced my OE Mercedes-Benz windshield with a Polish 'NordGlass' (DOT765). Now my rain/light sensor isn't working correctly. Tried the reset instructions from ** to reset it, still not working correctly. MB of Kansas City said the aftermarket glass has a different transparency and can effect the IR sensors, thus causing erratic performance of the wipers in auto mode. Well I'm getting the Safelite Hustle on the issue so looks like I'm on the hook to figure this one out $$$$ myself. I would avoid Safelite, for most vehicle's I'm sure they do fine work but if you have a car with any sensors look elsewhere and insist on OE (Not OEM, learn the difference) glass.

    While attempting to repair a small chip from hail, Safelite caused a 3-4 inch crack in my windshield. I know this can happen, as glass is unpredictable. But the tech assured me over and over that the crack was sealed and safe. With a day, the crack had grown 3 more inches. Within a week, it was over a 12 inches. And they will do nothing about it except credit the cost of the botched repair itself back to my insurance. They take no responsibility for the damage itself and I am left with a cracked windshield that cannot be repaired, only replaced. I would have been MUCH better off never utilizing their services.

    I highly recommend taking photos of your car before any work begins. I recently had my windshield replaced and during the process they significantly scratched the paint off the frame around the windshield. I will preface this complaint with the knowledge that there is currently a recall on my particular paint due to flaking and ultimately that is likely the cause of the paint to flake off, however it’s the highly unprofessional responses and handling of the situation that infuriates me. At the time of the replacement, there was no indication of any flaking paint. The installer came and left and never mentioned anything to me about the paint coming off. I noticed the scratches hours later so I took pictures and submitted them for a claim. Safelite sent someone out to review and take pictures of the damage a few days later.

    Shortly thereafter I received a call from the Worcester manager Allen telling me that he reviewed the timestamped photos and that the damage was there before the work started. I argued that there was no possible way it was like that before so he emailed me some pictures. When I looked at the pictures I knew that they were the ones taken that morning because the car was parked in a totally different location (so much for the time stamp). I responded that the photos were taken that day and he claimed to have mistakenly attached the wrong ones and would send over the correct ones.

    I did receive another photo that I was told was taken “previously to the install.” I could tell it was taken on the day of the install but it was clearly cropped and was oddly close to the damage. I took a closer look at the picture and realized that there was no windshield in the picture, which I’m sure is why it was cropped so close. The photo was taken after the old windshield was removed but “previously to the install” of the new one.

    I couldn’t believe how manipulative and deceptive Allen was being! I called him out on this deception and his only response was that it’s a known issue with the paint and to deal with Toyota since “there is no damage due to the install.” If he had just been upfront with me and acknowledged that the paint flaked off during the removal process due to a known issue with the paint I wouldn’t have had any problem. Instead he lied and tried to deceive me to remove any fault from Safelite. I’m disgusted with how I was treated and I will NEVER use Safelite again.

    The Safelite Lie: Trust this sorry company at your peril. If you have watched an hour of cable TV, you know Pascal, the friendly Safelite technician. You know the ad: Two friends on a road trip come back to their car to find their windshield cracked. No problem. They call Safelite and Pascal is out in a jiffy and fixes it on the spot while ‘’the girls’’ enjoy lunch. And, in a happy ending, there’s no charge either, with most insurance. ‘’Safelite repair, Safelite replace,’’ the cheery jingle concludes. You’ve heard it dozens of times. Now I’ve never met Pascal, but let me tell you about my experience with the corporate giant called Safelite, which bills itself as the nation’s ‘’leading’’ vehicle glass replacement company.

    At about 2 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3, my car window was smashed on the street near my home in downtown Charleston, S.C. Some knucklehead broke the back passenger window, thinking he had found a prize. Instead, he made off with my wife’s pottery bag, of value to no one but her. I found the bag and the broken pottery a half block away when the sun came up. Not fun but stuff happens.

    Enter Safelite. I called my insurer — State Farm — and the agent strongly recommended Safelite. He said he would have a Safelite representative call me. Sure enough, I quickly got a call from a friendly Safelite saleswoman who said the company couldn’t fix my car on the spot like Pascal does, but they could have it repaired by Thursday, or Friday at the latest. In the meantime, I could take it to a Safelite shop where they would install a temporary plastic covering over the smashed rear window. So I drove to Safelite’s store in Mt. Pleasant a few miles from my home.

    Then the games began. Friday morning came and it couldn’t be done because the window was not in stock, but it could be done Monday. The Safelite employee apologized. Monday came and Safelite canceled again. And another apology. Then they were going to come to my house and then they were not. Another apology. There was one broken promise after another followed by yet another apology. Try to call Safelite and you got a call center in Who Knows Where? Try to get transferred to the local store and you get the wrong store. Get transferred again to the right store and you get an answering machine. Leave a message and you don’t get a call back. This is the Safelite Hustle.

    In one of many subsequent calls, the Safelite representatives told me the saleswoman should have never promised the repair in a few days because the window had to be ordered. Repairing my window, of course, was not the job of the saleswoman — securing my business was, no matter what she had to say. And the repair, I was finally told, would require me to leave my car a full day in the shop. Finally, the day of the repair arrived — Monday, March 16, almost two weeks after my window was broken — and I dropped my car at the Mt. Pleasant shop. A couple hours later, I get a call. “We have some bad news, Mr. **. The dealer sent us the wrong window.” He apologized, part of Safelite’s corporate culture.

    This is incredible. I have never experienced such bad service, so much deception, from any business in any industry — not even the airlines. I would not believe anything this company tells me, and you shouldn’t either. I went back, fuming, to pick up my car. They had reinforced the cellophane window, which was designed to last a few days but which was now almost two weeks old and wobbly. The manager apologized. Then it got worse. Leave your car parked on a city street long enough with a faux window and it is going to get broken into again. That is what I feared and that is what happened at 2:30 a.m. on March 18 — 16 days after the first break in — when someone tore off the Safelite cellophane window. I feel like I have been mugged by Safelite.

    I eventually got my window fixed — by the dealership, not Safelite. It took two days to order the window and two hours to repair it. The irony is that until last year the Safelite store in Mt. Pleasant was part of a solid locally based company called Glasspro. Over 23 years, Paul Heinauer had been a familiar face on local TV, using his commercials to expand his Mt. Pleasant-based chain to 11 stores. Then last year he sold out to Safelite, the nation’s largest automotive glass company.

    This is hardly the first case of a good local company selling out a corporate giant, which quickly proceeds to trash everything the founder built. Safelite, which itself was started by two guys in a junkyard in Wichita, Kansas in 1947, today has 720 locations and is based in Columbus, Ohio. It is a subsidiary of Belron, a glass repair behemoth, based in London and South Africa. It, in turn, is owned by D’leteren SA, a Belgium company traded on the Euronext exchange, ticker symbol DIE. You couldn’t make this stuff up. DIE is a long way from Mt. Pleasant, where Paul Heinauer started his little business all those years ago. And whatever he built died on Jan. 4, 2019, the day the deal closed with Safelite.

I told them I know all that and it is on the website. Then they came back with calibration of safety sensors. I explained that I listed that on the options when I obtained the quote.

    We got a large rock to our windshield April 2019. Our insurance covered Safelite 100% so we went with them. It was initially great because they came to my work and replaced my windshield. As a busy mom who works full time it was a blessing, until the next day. My window started to vibrate obnoxiously any time we went on the highway or interstate. Over 55 mph and you thought the window was going to fly off.

    Initially they said it was the tape I didn’t remove, then it was it needed to be reset, then it was faulty glass. 7 times in their shop for warranty work (by the way now my windshield leaks water every time I go thru the car wash) and 9 months later the manager at the local store tells me they refuse to touch it again. It must be my vehicle and something not caused by them...but if I wanted to go to the dealership and have them look at it, diagnose the issue, they would cover the cost if it was because Of the windshield. He was a total Jerk and basically called me a liar. Again, I am busy and do not have time for any of this but we cannot drive our vehicle outside of town.

    Local GMC dealership had my car for 2 hours, reported there was so much double sided tape and glue on my cowl that’s it took them 30 minute to get it all off. Once clean, they reset it and it has been noise free ever since. Safelite did pay for the bill for GMC to fix the issue. DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE IF IT'S MORE THAN A CHIP REPAIR.

    Here is why I would not use this company: 1. We drove our car to a Safelite office to get a new windshield, after a flying rock cracked our windshield halfway across. They inspected the vehicle, gave us a quote and set up an appointment for several days later, because they had to order the windshield. We were impressed with the initial dealer, and they gave us a very good rate.

    2. Several days later Safelite installer showed up, but with the wrong windshield. We were very concerned, because we had to make a 10 hour drive 2 days later, and they would not be able to get the correct one by that time. In response to our questions and concerns, the Safelite installer assured us that it was perfectly safe to drive a car on a major interstate for 10 hours with the window cracked halfway across. When we asked why we should even replace the windshield then (as the original quote was for about $1,000), he said that really the only reason you need to have them repaired is because it is illegal to drive with it cracked. This gave us pause as we didn't believe him on the safety assurance, but we figured the installer just felt bad about the situation and was trying to reassure us -- not that this is acceptable, but we wouldn't generalize comments like that to the whole company.

    The installer also said that the new windshield should be a couple of hundred dollars less because they had mistakenly ordered a heated windshield, when ours was not heated. This made sense and we believed him, so we told him to go ahead and set up a new appointment for the following week at our destination. 3. We got an email confirming the appointment and called Safelite to discuss the quote. You cannot get through to a local office without going through their national phone bank, which is hassle. The national phone bank person gave us a quote that was actually more than our original quote, not $200 less as we were expecting. She said she had no power to quote anything less and would transfer us to the local office that would do the installing, but instead she cut off the call.

    4. We then decided to call around and talk with Glass Doctor and the dealer we bought the car from, to compare quotes. We eventually decided to go with the dealer, even though the cost was substantially more than Safelite, because we were concerned about Safelite's ability to deal with the high tech features of our windshield, and we know our dealer will be accountable and provide good follow up service if needed. As it turns out, insurance would cover the difference between what Safelite quoted and what our dealer quoted. Also, though we did not use Glass Doctor, they were very candid with us and told us that they could not do it for less than the dealer. In addition, while they did not say anything bad about Safelite, they seemed incredulous that Safelite could provide the type of glass we needed for what they quoted.

    Finally, Glass Doctor asked us for the VIN right up front so as to ensure they were quoting on the correct windshield. Not sure why Safelite doesn't do that to avoid situations like what happened with us. 5. When I called Safelite to cancel the appointment, I was told that they had no appointment under my name in the system. I insisted that the person search by telephone, and it turns out they did have an appointment that still needed to be cancelled, and she confirmed that it was in fact listed under my name. I felt the Safelite person was making it difficult to cancel the appointment for some reason, because every prior time we had called the Safelite national phone bank (again, huge hassle), they had searched by phone number and found our work order immediately. 6. In retrospect, I am glad Safelite ordered the wrong windshield, because the totality of this experience makes me not trust their quality, despite the lower price.

    So it's been a year now going into number two. Safelite as of last month finally found the leak, but the four times one replacement three warranty fixes they claimed the same thing. So finally after finding the leak the claim responsibility but refuse to pay for the damages. I have proof and have given them everything done everything and I have spoke with lawyers, but I'm poor to be honest and cannot afford the 3000$ to retain and move forward, look just have Safelite water test in front of you the owner. And as consumers we have the right to when entering a contract to get every guarantee that comes with it. Look and when they fixed it it was so unprofessional and negligent then next week they offer to pay me basically to bring my car and allow them to cover up the almost criminal what I would call property destruction or vandalism.

    I'm willing to show pictures get 3000 looks just to tell the same story. Hey I have the voice recording saying they agree they are responsible and once presented with just visual quotes the billion dollar giant says nope too much, even though we did it and have well admitted fault. They Safelite think a guarantee is just to get you in the door it doesn't really mean guarantee. It's a scheme to get your money. Once they have your money contract I guess voids and so does warranty. Look even my insurance is in bed with them and I can't file a claim because Safelite I guess from the 30 hours spent on phone owns them the insurance Co.

    Hey my insurance is supposed to represent Americans and honor them. But that's another story coming soon. Thanks Safelite for a year of torment and just the wonderful circus act you and your employees have performed. I'm still spending money and now looks like more to resolve a resolved issue. Light shines in the darkness and the darkness can't recognize or even try to understand what it the light is it's truth and a belt. I am will to share to the world if need be.

    I had a small round nick in my windshield due to a rock hitting it while I was driving along a freeway. I called Safelite to have the damage repaired to prevent the nick from spreading. When the service rep completed the work, the small nick was not only much more obvious it also had several hairline cracks, one over an inch long, radiating from it. Had I known the repair would make things worse, I would have never called Safelite to do the work. My prior experience several years ago on another vehicle was much more favorable. The rep took his time and did quality work. I could hardly see the initial damage when completed. You are at the mercy of the skill of the service rep. Safelite does not stand behind their work or offer any guarantees. Poor quality work will be at your expense. I will never call Safelite or recommend them for service again. Use at your own risk!!!

    Avoid these guys at all cost! Their customer service is terrible. They replaced our windshield and one of their "Highly Trained Technicians" broke all the clips of the molding. When a different technician came to look at it, he said the younger ones "sometimes panic". Great. It is now a month later and we just get the runaround. They said they are going to fully replace but we can't get anyone to do repair or callback. Calls to corporate service just get routed back to local dealer. We'll never use them again.

    I had a cracked shattered windshield from a woman trying to use my car to commit suicide and I called Safelite thinking I would be in good hands (WRONG MOVE) and set up an appointment a week before the day of service and my appointment date was scheduled for Friday 17th 2020. I received emails and texts messages telling me to be ready Safelite was coming. I was ready and prepared and ready to get back to work because I'd be able to drive my car again. Thursday Safelite sent another message telling me to be ready. I was ready and excited. I was going to have a fixed windshield. Friday arrived and Safelite sent me a picture of the goofy looking pirate technician who was to fix the repairs and I said to myself don't judge because the funniest looking people seem to do the best work even though my gut said the dude doesn't look right but rather peculiar.

    Right after Safelite sent the techs mugshot I got a text saying my appointment was cancelled. I gotta tell you I was very very agitated and upset. I told them how unprofessional they are and that they should not have treated me in that fashion. I told them you don't wait till the day of to tell someone you're canceling their appointment and you don't do stuff like that without giving a reason. I had to call them and ask them why did they cancel my appointment. The woman was nonchalant and claimed she didn't know but she would check. How's that for starters. It's like a bunch of brainless fruit cakes working together. She then told me they didn't have the part in. My advice to them what's to know who you're dealing with before you go making up lies. I know the warehouse and I know where they get their glasses from and they told me that my windshield wasn't fax it out to them as a matter of fact they received the windshield Wednesday.

    So they told a blatant lie it canceled my appointment. I did said okay let me look at the reviews because when people do stuff like this it doesn't start all at once it's been happening for a while. So I look at the reviews and I see they've done this to a couple of people so I put two and two together and what I gathered was this company is a scam. What they do is they get windshield and they don't give you the windshield that was ordered they give you cheaper windshield and keep the good windshields. It's selling for higher price but give you the cheap windshields charging some people higher prices making them think they have a good windshield. Then if you order a certain type of windshield if they have a friend or someone they know they give them the windshield at a nice price and cancel your appointment and tell you they don't have yours in.

    This place should be called safe fraud and I will never ever speak highly of them nor tell anyone anything good about safe fraud Safelite. I read reviews where they mess people's car up so I'm thankful that they did cancel my appointment because they don't know what they're doing and they're running a scam. Words of wisdom to people out there if you want a quick fix call Safelite but if you want it done right by all means do not call Safelite go to the dealership actually place of business and get it done right and know what you're getting. Find out what company or Warehouse they order your windshields from and keep track on your windshield or glass cuz Safelite say frog Safelite 8 right and they need to be put out of business.

    Had an appointment scheduled for a technician to come to my house between 8 am-12 pm to replace my windshield that I scheduled over a week prior due to it being the only morning I would be home all week (I'm in grad school, have 2 jobs, and am completing an internship... so I have no days off, only occasional mornings I‘m home during, which is why I scheduled home service.) I received a call at 830 am asking if I could bring my car into the shop in an hour, instead of them coming to me due to “the weather” which was really inconvenient. I was hesitant and confused on the phone, because I purposely checked the weather ahead of scheduling and it was nearly 50 degrees and sunny/cloudy with no rain in the forecast.

    I think the tech sensed my hesitation because he then offered to come get my car and bring it back, which he didn’t sound like he wanted to do.. I decided that if my car has to be taken elsewhere, I’d prefer to be the one to take it, so I started calling around to see if I could get a ride from someone home from the shop since I did not plan for this and had a lot of things to do around the house and couldn’t spend the little time I had waiting there. I don’t know if the tech just didn’t feel like working outside or what, but I figured I didn’t have a choice at this point and wasn’t going to argue.

    I got back in touch with the technician to let him know I would be able to bring my car in, and he asked if I planned on waiting at the shop or dropping off, and let me know that apparently he didn’t get started on his first car yet, and that his manager sent him out to get another car after he called me. I have no idea what that meant for me, other than that it would take a while? I also don’t know why no one called me immediately after they realized how backed up they were to let me know something had changed and that I could bring my car in later in the day.

    You guys really shouldn’t offer the “come to your home” service at all as an option past September if employees aren’t willing or able to work outside in temps under 50 degrees. And if this was an issue, then at the very least, someone should have let me know the day before, or literally at any point prior to the time my window for service starts at... not half an hour past it. I’m really unhappy with the service, this was supposed to make things easier, and instead it made them more difficult for both me and the friend I had to inconvenience to pick me up from the shop.

An hour later when I was leaving to go home, I inspected his work and noticed damages to the hood and fender from the installer. I immediately called and got nowhere with the telephone rep. Called again and finally got the number for the local manager. Called him the next day a few times, but he failed to return my voicemails for hours.

I asked him the time on them, and the time was 30 minutes after the tech started the job. I know the time he started, as I had a screen shot of the received phone call from the tech as he was pulling into my office 1/2 hr earlier than the time stamp. So, when they finally agreed that the tech was not being truthful to them, they sent a manager over to look at the damages, and he told me to take it to my body shop and let them know the cost to repair.

    I sent them the estimate from the guy who does all our work (very reasonable) and now they are calling back saying they want their guys to repair the damage.

    03/19: Have a crack, get a new windshield. My insurance company partners with Safelite so went there. We have lane departure warning, plus auto braking if we get too close so there is a front camera. We were directed to one particular location where they could recalibrate the camera. After installing the after-market windshield they recalibrated the camera. 06/19: Warning light on dash. Go to dealer. Camera has almost caught on fire because it was not reinstalled correctly due to after-market glass. Camera fell out when dealer opened the camera area and there were scorch marks in there.

    Contact Safelite - get the run around. Why didn't I bring vehicle with a warning light to them? Who sees a warning light on the dash and goes to a windshield repair firm? Oh did the dealer touch it? That voids your lifetime warranty. No, the dealer didn't touch it until it fell into their hands because it wasn't reinstalled correctly! After trying for 2 weeks to get satisfaction I contacted USAA, our insurance company, who took over dealing with them.

    Thank GOD we had USAA who stayed on Safelite's rear until we got OEM glass and a new camera! Even with their help we got the run around for months. 4 months after the camera first overheated we have now FINALLY finished with this company. 4 months. First time they attempted to replace the glass at USAA's direction, I was told I'd have a new OEM windshield. I showed up and OOPS it's after-market glass. Second time they called at 7:15 a.m. when I'm on my way to their shop and OOPS the OEM glass arrived broken. Third time all went well because USAA told them if I wasn't taken care of that day, the glass would be ordered and reinstalled by the dealership at Safelite's expense. At our request USAA insisted on a new camera and that it be installed at the dealership. Safelite promised that after I paid for the camera and installation (just under $1500) I'd be reimbursed within 10 business days.

    9/9/19 (yes, 6 months after this all started) I sent in copies of my receipts via email for reimbursement. I don't think Safelite knows what 10 business days is because on 10/11/19 when I still did not have reimbursement, I gave up on waiting for Safelite and contacted USAA. USAA was told by Safelite that they sent my check on 10/11/19. It actually came on 10/19 via FedEx overnight and the check was dated 10/17/19. I sent USAA a copy of the check so they realize they were lied to yet again. Dishonesty runs rampant within this corporation, imo.

    I will say that one individual in the Albuquerque office, Michael **, did a great job at keeping in touch and trying to be on the up and up. Of course there were times he didn't call back or follow up, probably when I was asking for reassurances Safelite did not want him to provide. I would strongly recommend that if you do NOT have a great insurance company to back you up, GO ELSEWHERE for window glass. If you have a newer vehicle with all the safety options that require a front camera, INSIST on OEM glass and, GO ELSEWHERE for new glass.

    Do not use this company to repair your auto glass. They installed a new windshield on my 2004 Infiniti QX56 in 2013. Their shoddy workmanship caused the frame around the windshield to rust and that eventually led to it leaking. They told me I had to get the rust repaired, at my expense, and that they would be glad to reinstall the windshield for free. So obviously, their warranty means nothing!!!

    I went through my insurance company to get my windshield fixed. They recommended this company. I made the appointment for a Tuesday. I was told they would come between noon and 5. I waited and received a call from my installer saying he was on his way around 1. He made it and was very pleasant and easy to talk to, however, had the wrong windshield in his van and couldn’t fix my windshield. He said it was the second time that day he had the wrong windshield. He called his supervisor in front of me and told him it happened again.

    He apologized and told me they couldn’t send someone back until the following Tuesday between 8 and noon to fix it. I was frustrated but understood it wasn’t his fault and agreed. I had already rigged around my schedule for the installation so I couldn’t miss work the following week to be there so I made sure my son was available to fill in for me. It was before he had to be at work so I felt confident it would work out.

    I received a call from the installer that morning around 9 am stating that he didn’t understand why I was on his route because his other 4 jobs were in the same city so he was going to do them first. He said he had no idea when he would get to me but it would be way later. I told him I was on his list because they made a mistake the following week and had to add me after the fact. I also told him that I have a morning appointment and it wasn’t my fault that his afternoon appointments were in the same city he was currently in. I also told him my son had to go to work and I was driving his car so he couldn’t want for him to come later in the day to install the windshield. Therefore I had to cancel the appointment and go another week or more to get it fixed. He seemed like he didn’t care about my inconvenience.

    I then called their customer service number to ask to speak to a supervisor. The girl who answered was very short and rude and told me there was no supervisor available until the next day and I could leave my name and number. I started to tell her why I was upset about the customer service I received and she told me to hold on and then I was disconnected. I call back and the same girl answers. I begin to talk and she realizes I’m the same person calling back and all of a sudden there is a supervisor available that can speak to me.

    The supervisor gets on the phone. He is the direct supervisor of the guy who just called me and said he wasn’t making it on time to my appointment. He tells me he told the employee to call me and see if I could change my appointment. The guy never asked me to change the time. He told me it was going to be that was. The supervisor also told me he had 2 jobs in the city he was in and the rest of his jobs were in my city. The installer told me he had 4 more jobs in the city he was in and only mine in my city. When I told the supervisor of the differences in their stories he hung up on me. Needless to say I will be giving my business to someone else. This was such a waste of my time.

    How does this company have a high BBB rating?! Their lifetime warranty is a joke! Horrible customer service. I had the original windshield replaced in my 2006 Chevy Silverado in May 2017. Now the window does not defrost while you are driving. It is garaged so does not have frost at first. I tried to explain we only drive this vehicle occasionally to pull trailers and only a few times it has been on a day with freezing fog/weather since installation.

    We recently had this happen again when we had an early cold weather storm. We had our defrost and everything checked on the truck because in our mind the window is new, not cracked or pitted. Everything checked out fine. The only thing it can be is the window, so I called about warranty. The 800 number technician told me it is a defect in the window or installation and said they would send someone out to look it over and repair or replace at no charge. I asked him if this has happened before and he said yes. Awesome I thought, that was easy and how a warranty should be.

    My tech called at 9 am and said he would arrive between 12-5 and asked me about the problem I was having. He responded, hmm. He arrived at 4:50 and asked me again. I told him and about my call and he said, "Well I haven't heard of that before and I really don't know what I am supposed to do with." He called someone then told me it was my defrost. It is not! I have had the truck inspected by a mechanic. He said, "Well they told me not to replace it so you can call a manager if you want tomorrow." He was at my home maybe 15 minutes total and most of that on the phone. He said he checked my defrost and there was plenty of air but it was probably my thermostat. The diesel truck had not been started so I know it was not warmed up yet. I told him we have had the truck checked out. It is the window!

    I recognized him as the same person who installed the window and gave me a free bottle of glass cleaner to give him a good survey rating so he could get paid more. I understand he is just doing what they tell him but he could have been up front instead of making excuses. My impression with the tech, especially with his show up time, was that they can say they looked at it but then do nothing. I do not need a new windshield for any other reason. It looks fine but it is not safe. Pulling a trailer down the freeway and you suddenly cannot see and have to try and safely get off the road is dangerous. If you sit long enough the window will defrost but you may die of a heat stroke before that happens! Then it will not stay defrosted in motion so you have to pull over again.

    I called the manager the tech suggested and she gave me the run around about, "Didn't you notice this before?" Yes, but even we did not think it was the window. Well she says we have bad winters. Yes, we live in Idaho but I do not drive this vehicle primarily and whats the chances it will be freezing/fog those days. Only a handful. It was obvious they want to make every excuse not to honor the warranty.

    I asked her who decides because the tech on the 800 phone call that set it up made it sound like it was a done deal and was courteous and helpful. Now she says that she hasn't heard of this problem before and she makes the decision! She did tell me she would call around and see if this has ever happened before and what she could do and would get back to me. I was given the impression that if she actually does call back that it will be some other excuse. Just because they haven't heard of it before does not justify them not honoring a so called lifetime warranty.

    I called my local auto body shop. I was told they are always fixing Safelite damages and mistakes which really says something considering how small of an area that I live in. I can get a new OEM window rather than after market installed for basically the same price. I paid cash for the window but know insurance companies often choose Safelite and it has to be because they are often cheaper. You get what you pay for! Also, interesting how hard it is to write a review on their site. I still can't do it. You can't write a review on their Facebook page unless it is in a comment on something else. I didn't get a survey for this visit. Shady practices all around. Spend your money locally and spread the word that Safelite is not the place to go.

    I had them come to my work location to replace windshield in my 2012 Audi. The tech doing the work said he had several decades of experience so I felt good about it. However, rubber molding seals on both sides were damaged during his work and the passenger side wiper was not installed correctly and did not park in the proper location. These were corrected after two more visits to the Hudson, WI location.

    Next I had an appointment to have the Advanced Driver Assist System re-calibrated. The Hudson location did the work and billed $250 for this to my Insurance. After this work my Auto Braking system and Cruise Control did not work. I brought it to an Audi dealer and they confirmed the system was not re-calibrated correctly and informed me that without Audi brand glass in the windshield re-calibration may not fix it. I had Audi replace the windshield and re-calibrate. Everything works perfect now. I don't think I would bring anything but a basic auto to Safelite.

    We had the passenger side window in my wife's car replaced a week ago and it cost us $449 to have this done. Over the weekend someone tried to break into her car breaking both the driver's and passenger side windows. The cost to replace both was $486. When I asked how come the single window cost almost as much as the two to replace I was told it was the changing price in glass so I questioned that and then was told that we got a discount the second time because we bough 2 windows. So you are telling me that we go a 50% discount on the glass. The only difference was going through our insurance company the second time. This group priced gouged us bad.

    This is my review - couldn't find a link to leave a review on your website. I was amazed at the quality of Safelite's service - truly AMAZED! In these times, and in a metropolitan area like Dallas/Ft. Worth, when you seldom find businesses and employees who have a true customer service attitude and service quality orientation - I was amazed to find just that at Safelite Autoglass in Lewisville, TX.

    I had a bit of anxiety that the cracked windshield on my 2017 Nissan Frontier would be replaced with a quality product, in a quality manner - since it was being replaced by a third party vendor and not Nissan. But, my anxiety was misplaced - Wayne ** the technician was exceptional - just a very professional, customer oriented member of the Safelite Team... who knows what he's doing, and has excellent customer relations. From the online registration experience, to the quick check-in, timely service, and quick check-out - the service was seamless and impeccable. I'm impressed that Safelite has developed a process that is based around a total quality program, and takes the care they do in "selecting," training and motivating their team members in delivery of total quality/customer service. Total quality at a fair price, delivered in a fast and courteous manner! Just amazing!

I made the appointment on a Friday had to take the day off of work and went to the appointment and the told me that the windshield had a scratch down the middle of it so I had to make appointment for the following week. The following the mobile shop came to my house to put the windshield in my car and it cracked down the middle and the tech ask me if I wanted to keep the broken windshield in my car. He tried to call for a new one and no one responded.

    He had to put my old windshield back in my car that had chips in my glass and two days later my glass had cracked on the driver side. So he had to make a new appointment two weeks later, but was told the shop I went to wouldn’t have it so, had to go to another shop which had it, but never was given receipt for the service. The customer service was bad and seem like no one cared that my windshield was cracked. They told me hopefully the shop can get me a new windshield.

I was informed that the technician promptly broke my window and they would be setting me up an appointment for replacement. I was then informed by the Safelite representative that my insurance had a $500.00 deductible and I would have to pay for the glass replacement. I then left and will cancel my insurance with Progressive and will not replace my window with Safelite. What a scam!

    Good Afternoon, I had an appointment Sept 16 and I am really not happy with how things transpired with this transaction. I dropped off my car to have the windshield replaced. I got a call from the tech saying it was ready and then was told to give them a good rating as that was affecting their wages. I have never based a review on someone telling me on what I needed to do but, based on their service and product. This was the beginning of the issues.

    I came back to pick up the car. I opened the doors and inspected the windshield. There were two small marks that looked like staple marks inside the glass as it was not able to be felt on the outside or the inside. We went into the office to and had the gal behind the counter get the technician to come out and look. He was like - "Sorry I missed those" and walked back to the office. He said that the seal has to set so it would be another few days for it to be replaced and new glass ordered. There was no other inspection or instructions concerning the windshield. - This should have been my second red flag.

    The receptionist said that she was unable to close out my transaction as the glass was not put into inventory yet but needed to charge my card to get a new appointment. There was no mention of a discount or anything signed. But she had to have my card to close out this first transaction. I did not even know that the price was lower until the next day when the email came through about the amount. I do think that it should be a little higher due to all of this jumping through hoops to get answers and proper service. No instructions on anything with the new windshield. I had called while I was down the road and wanted to ask a couple of questions and see what discount I would or could get because I would have to take another day to come up and get it replaced and that the service was not up to expectations.

    I called the call center and got Amy - who was like "why didn't you talk to them about it while you were up there?" I notated that I had not gotten any paperwork or a walk through on any of this. I asked to have a manager call me and she then told me that I would not be able to get a car wash until 4-5 days later. I was going to get it washed that day as I was going out of town. With her combative attitude, I wanted to call her manager. Again got the runaround that there were no managers available. I guess employees are available to do what and act however they please?

    I turned to social media. I got the same replies there. Just stating "Oh hey - you have a warranty appointment set up - what else do you need?" I was told that someone would be getting back to me. I had my phone one and email up and again have gotten nothing personalized to my situation but to have two surveys come my way about how I would rate Safelite.

    I am concerned about bringing my car back up to the location. I am worried about leaving my car and getting professional service. I am not pleased with the time and energy that I have spent in trying to get someone to understand what happened and that this just felt like it was no big deal. And can confirm whether this is or is not how your customers need to feel about using you for their windows. And as of now - no response from any management...and I am not surprised.

    A rock hit the windshield glass of my car. I choose Safelite to replace it. We have scheduled several appointments. One of them was a no show. Two showed up with the wrong glass and one called me this morning to tell me that they still didn't have my glass. See, I've been waiting to get my glass installed since my first appointment back on September 6, 2019. The first technician came and told me unfortunately he did not have my glass. He immediately called their office in Miami or Fort Lauderdale (it's been both offices involved), and the office said that they would be cross referencing my vehicle with the dealer for the correct glass. I understood that and waited until September 10, 2019 to follow up, as I figured it would take time to get the correct glass.

    When I called on September 10, 2019 I was told they had just received the glass and would schedule an appointment for the following day in the time slot of my preference which was 8-12 to get it replaced. All perfect up to this point. September 11, 2019 came around. A new tech came and when I met him outside, he told me he would not be able to install the glass, as the glass he was given was the incorrect glass. I told him what happened in my first appointment. He too called the main office and was told they would cross reference again with the dealer. I was a little taken back by this error but I said okay no problem. I followed up the following day and was told my windshield would be ordered from another store and it would be available by September 13, 2019.

    On September 12, 2019 I receive a call from Safelite letting me know that my glass would unfortunately not make it in by my appointment and I would have to reschedule (Err). I am a little aggravated here and I questioned why was the appointment scheduled if it would not be here. I was then pushed back to September 16, 2019. On September 16, 2019 NO ONE showed up to the scheduled appointment. I waited an hour after the appointment time and followed up by calling the main office in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The Miami office's phone just continued to ring with no answer. The Fort Lauderdale office picked up. They told me no one had showed up to my appointment because my windshield had not arrived.

    I was upset at this point and I was transferred to Gustavo, Manager in the Miami office. Gustavo told me my windshield had not arrived but he HIMSELF would be calling for an ETA on my windshield and also he informed me that they were waiting for a response from my insurance company Geico about the approval of my glass because in previous conversation I told them I did not want an aftermarket windshield on the car. He told me he would be making the call to Geico and for the ETA on the glass and would be calling me back. That afternoon my husband received a call to his phone (I will never understand this part as I was the primary contact of the claim). My husband called me and gave me the phone number to call back, and I did.

    When I spoke to a gentleman, who was not Gustavo, that told me they would have my windshield by September 17, 2019. I asked, "Are you sure you will have it? I don't want to schedule the appointment unless you are truly sure the windshield has arrived." I was assured it would be there. September 17, 2019 comes around. I am excited to finally leave this behind me and get the installation done. 12:00 pm comes around. No sign from a technician. I wait about 30 mins (I have no more patience) and I am told that my job was bumped to the afternoon and I was the first afternoon installation. The technician was actually picking up the glass as we spoke. Then 15 minutes go by and I get a call from the technician telling me that they did not have the OEM glass and not only that, the glass had never been ordered because they were waiting on my insurances response for the claim.

    I told the technician about Gustavo's conversation with me. The technician must have turned to Gustavo and he was told by Gustavo nothing more than the glass had not arrived. At this point, I feel like they have been lying to me the whole time, wasting my time. I get off the phone with the technician, call my car insurance and speak with a claims adjuster who is sweet as can be, apologizes for all the inconvenience and processes my claim. She tells me that OEM and aftermarket would have different prices and that I would have to cover the difference between both (never mentioned by Safelite). However, she places me on a hold and comes back a few minutes later to tell me that actually I would not have to pay for anything and that the claim has been approved and she was sending all the paper work to Safelite to proceed with installation.

    I called the technician back and told him about the approval of the claim. He then told me the glass would be ordered and it would take two days to arrive (See the lie. I have been previously told that the part had already been ordered and was in transit). I then received a call scheduling the new installation for today, September 19, 2019. All I can say is that it is 9:59 pm as I write this review and I still do not have a windshield.

    I called the store this morning when I saw that they had booked me for the afternoon appointments, as I had requested morning and had been told it would be in the morning. I could not speak with anyone. I received a call from the technician shortly after telling me he was calling me because he had been assigned the job, but he didn't have the glass because they told him it had not arrived yet. I immediately called the main office in Fort Lauderdale and I requested to speak with a manager. Did I mention it is 10:00 pm right now and I am still waiting for the managers call from either store?

    I am so frustrated and disappointing with their service, or lack there of service. This has been the worst experience. I am writing a review EVERYWHERE and I am contacting my car insurance, Geico with the report on what happened along with BBB. I am also reporting this to the State, writing reviews in Yelp, Google and everywhere their name comes up. MEANWHILE, all this is happening during my business hours because the installation was to be done at my job so that I would not have to miss work. I feel like I've had a part-time job with all these issues for the time that it has been happening during working hours. Instead of making things right, they lie to their customers. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO GO ELSEWHERE.

    When Safelite replaced my windshield a couple of years ago, the new windshield had a small line in the top center of the glass. I wish I had questioned it then, but I hoped it would not be a problem. Recently, that crack went from the top to the bottom of the windshield. I scheduled an appointment for a replacement and was told there would be no charge because of the defect in the product. When the technician came, he refused to honor the warranty because of a small chip elsewhere that had nothing to do with the top to bottom crack. In fact, the chip could have been easily repaired, but the huge crack requires a replacement.

    When I explained that I had been told the replacement was covered, he replied that "the sales people don't know." Afterwards I sent messages to customer service twice, but never received a response. Then I called the number for warranty questions, talked with two different people, and, Safelite will indeed not stand behind the warranty. I am in the market for a reputable glass replacement service.

    We have a Mercedes and a rock hit the windshield. A Safelite rep came to our house to try and repair it. He could not. He specifically told us that they will replace the windshield with a Mercedes windshield with the signature in the corner. We asked him twice. So, we made an appointment to have that done. Based on what he said, we assumed we would get the Mercedes glass. When we picked up the car, they had an after market glass in it. We have tried talking to the manager. All they would say is that it was a miscommunication from our people and there is nothing they will do. On top of this, our windshield wiper comes on as soon as we turn the car on which is wrong. I will never go to them again, nor recommend that anyone does. They do not stand behind what their own people say and they do not do a good job of replacing the windshield and calibrating it like they said they did.

    I specifically chose Safelite in Raleigh because they indicated they could replace the windshield and recalibrate my Honda CRV with lane departure features. The office location was ~30 miles from my house and not the most convenient location, but no other windshield service provider closer indicated they could complete the recalibration. I dropped it off the night before my service appointment as they told me their was a key dropbox. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me where it was and I spent a long time trying to find it. The appointment was at 8 am, but I didn't get a call until after 6pm that it was ready for pick up. When I was 5 minutes away from the location, they called to say the car was not calibrating properly. I asked why did they tell me it was ready for pickup, and they said they thought they wouldn't have a problem recalibrating the vehicle.

    I drove it home without the safety features working properly, and they told me to drive it around for a couple of days to see if it would reset. After taking it to the local Honda dealer to get it recalibrated, I learned they put in after market glass and that is why it will not recalibrate. It requires OEM glass, which my insurance provider USAA had already approved. I've called Safelite multiple times. I get placed on hold for 10 minutes, and I've had multiple times where they've told me they would call me back within the day and then received no callback. They are the WORST service company I've had to work with and I would never bring my car to them again. There's also white marks all over my dashboard that were not there prior to having the windshield replaced.

I just recently used Safelite about 1.5 years ago. Within this time I already had another crack. I do a lot of highway driving. Additionally, only 1 week after having my windshield replaced, I have another crack but it does not appear to be related to anything damaging the windshield.

    Don’t Use Safelite to fix a crack in your window because the tech Michael drilled a hole in the crack which made the crack spread across my windshield and now the whole windshield had to be replaced for $225. The funny part is the tech couldn’t find the crack on the windshield when he arrived so, I had to come outside to show him which mean the crack was very tiny but when Michael touched the crack with his drill he caused the crack to spread then he lied and said he Never touch the crack. He lied and I’m not happy with his service and I want my money back I had to pay out of pocket. And I called customer service but it was a Complete waste of time!

    The installers at the shop, telling me how the silicone on my vehicle edge of the windshield affect their adhesive from holding a windshield in my vehicle! The silicone was never under the windshield of the frame. What a hoax! When that's their job is to clean and replacing windshields. Plus they replaces cheap windshields. Would never recommend them.

    Safelite has great customer service. They set their selves apart from different companies. One reason why is they didn’t have me sitting at the house from 12-5, for 5 hours like I didn’t have a life. Carmen the tech that worked on my window confirmed he picked up my case and he would be there between a 2 hour range, which I feel is fair because they come to you. I also received a text when he was about 30 minutes away. I thought this was very professional because someone might have to run a quick errand close to the house and need to know your close.

    Carmen explained everything to me perfectly about what could happen and how he would do his best job. He also prepared me for the worst and was very reassuring letting me know the crack might spread even after being fixed but they can replace glass and most likely insurance would pay which I knew but it was very reassuring. He did a get repair on my window the last time I had a repair on my window I could still see the crack clear as day. Carmen had great customer service and also cleaned by the dashboard spotless, which I thought was really nice. I again just want to say thank you to Carmen and Safelite AutoGlass for their great customer service and communication.

    This is the second time I've used Safelite. The first time Safelite installed a windshield with a wave in the glass which they replace with no issues. This time I had them fix a small chip, the size of a dime, in my windshield. I've had many chip repairs over the years and this one was average at best. Quantity doesn't necessarily equate to quality.

    My experience with Safelight was a total waste! After going to your Cherry Hill, NJ shop, a 30 minute drive from my home and after another half hour waiting, I was told that the new windshield had a scratch in it and couldn't be used. Why hadn't the part be checked before my going to the shop? A home install was scheduled. I was told the technician would arrive between 8 and 12PM. He didn't show. I called Safelite. The Safelite dispatcher contacted him and told him to call me. He did and said he was running late but he would be coming around 2PM. He again never showed! I tried to contact him but he wouldn't pick up and his mailbox was full. I couldn't even leave a message. I wasted an entire day waiting for him. That's 2 days wasted and no repair done.

    I will never use Safelite in any capacity to do work for me. I will be telling everyone I am in contact with about your terrible service and work ethics. I have already given my experience to my insurance carrier, NJ Manufacturers, who had recommended Safelite. They said they will note my experience. Hopefully, some prospective customers will be kept away from this shop.

    I was directed to use Safelite AutoGlass by my insurance company Geico. The service started out good until the tech that replaced my windshield didn't install the glass with the correct seals and told me that Geico "didn't authorize new seals". As soon as the tech left I contacted Geico about the seals and I was told that the seals were definitely authorized. Geico called Safelite while I was on the phone and I have only gotten the runaround since then from Safelite. I have had my vehicle available to them at least 4 times within the last month and my windshield is still not repaired correctly. I'm sure Safelite has been paid for the job that is yet to be finished. Terrible customer service too, even the managers are giving me the runaround on finishing my windshield. Worst service ever, would not recommend them to anyone.

    Why doesn't ANY one that we speak with setting up our appointment ever ask if we have AAA? If that had been done, I would have paid a lot less money. Also, when I called today and asked if you could apply it after the fact, you said you couldn't, and then asked why didn't I go through insurance. REALLY?? I knew the cost of almost $500 was less than my deductible. Why would I contact them??? Stupid response to my valid question. I wish I can find my prior review of your company so I can add this addendum. All I will do is NOT recommend your company.

    Safelite replaced our back passenger window after a break-in. We rarely put the window down, but 15 months later, when our nephew was riding in the back & tried to put down the window, the glass "jumped track" & slid own into the door. The Safelite technician came & fixed it 1 day after I called. It was still under warranty so there was no charge. (If the problem had been the motor, there would have been a charge, but fortunately the motor was just fine.)

    I was sent to Safelite by my insurance. My wiper broke my acoustic glass (thicker than others) when I dropped it a few inches. I was informed it was not an installation issue. I have dropped my wiper a little for six years on previous window with no issues. They did not use new clips. I believe it would not have broken if installed correctly and plastic wipers should not break windshield. I am out of 1000 dollars and I have no recourse. It is a scam!!
