I first heard about Autoglass a few years ago on a TV advert and vaguely remember hearing that any windscreen chips would not cost a penny to be repaired as the cost would be covered by your insurance company. Little did I know that a few months later within a space of 2 months I had to call out Autoglass twice, for a window replacement and a chip repair! A few weeks ago I was driving along when I heard a loud bang. It scared the living daylights out of me and I instinctively put a hand up to my face as I heard glass shatter. After the initial bang I looked at my driver's side window and there was a small hole in the corner of the window and the rest was ...  Read the complete review

Over a period of many years of car-ownership (dating back to 1971 now I come to think of it!) I've had several reasons to call out Autoglass, all the time through my insurance. I've had two broken windscreens, fortunately both in the era of laminated glass being ubiquitous, and therefore was able to pick my moment to have the repair done. I shudder to think what the 'bad old days' must have been like when you had to punch out a broken safety-glass* screen at speed just to get safely onto the hard shoulder. You can bet your life it would have been raining at the time. (*Safety glass - the stuff that breaks into little cubes and is still fitted to ...  Read the complete review

So, there I was recently, driving happily down the motorway when... WHAP! A car threw up a small stone which flew into my windscreen and chipped it. It wasn't a big chip (around the size of a finger nail) and nor was it dangerous. However, it was just on the edge of my vision all the time when I was driving, so was a bit of a nuisance; and, of course, as with all such chips, it's best to get it seen to straight away in case the crack starts to spread. I approached this with some fear and trepidation. Although I was insured for free repairs to windscreen cracks under my car insurance, I feared I would have to complete a mountain of paperwork to get this simple ...  Read the complete review

My experiences with Autoglass are few and far between, however on the two occasions that I have needed to call Autoglass I received such a good service that I thought I should write them a review to show just how good they are! I first used Autoglass in November 2005 after I bought my Vauxhall Corsa with a chip in the windscreen. I had heard many adverts on the radio about chips and how you should get them repaired before they turned into cracks, so having been made slightly paranoid that my windscreen was going to shatter in front of me I called the free phone number and arranged for Autoglass to come to my house (at my convenience!) to repair or replace if ...  Read the complete review
