      Horrible customer service I needed a winsheild replacement and went threw the process I specifically asked for oem glass while speaking with ******* technican who was speaking to the lady at the office he had came to repair chips that could not be repaired. Instead of getting oem glass like I asked for they installed aftermarket I asked James the technician if it was oem he said no it's aftermarket when I confronted safelite they told me there was no notes for oem so they installed whatever they wanted to and told me I was stuck with it. Every customer service agent I spoke to was rude and kept talking over me with no concern to my complaint. Will never use them again. They should hold up their customer service end and replace my glass with oem like I asked for!Work order number: ************

      Repair was completed with abhorrently poor workmanship:
      - Windshield drip molding/seals on A-pillars are not installed correctly and do not sit flush with windshield surface.
      - Pieces of plastic fasteners meant to hold down plastic coverings are all over the inside of the engine bay. Indicating that fasteners were incorrectly removed (destroyed) and it is also visible that the broken fasteners were not replaced.
      - Passenger side windshield wiper arm is bent and now contacts the wiper blade when the wipers are in use causing an audible "thunk" as the wiper changes direction.

      I paid Safelite to replace my windshield. After completing the job, my car was making a hissing noise. I had no way of knowing this could be connected to the windshield repair. I went to my car dealership, Toyota, to diagnose what was causing the sound and they found that it was from a problem with the moulding on the windshield repair. They charged me $160 for the diagnosis of the faulty repair by Safelite. Safelite will not reimburse me for the $160.

      On November 10th of 2021 I paid $292.48 for a windshield replacement on my 2003 Honda Element.

      The initial replacement the installer left glue and other debris on the dashboard and the door ajar. The windshield also made noise at highway speeds.

      A second installer verified that the first installer had incorrectly installed the windshield and replaced it for a 2nd time. With this replacement, everything went well, and there where no issues. According to my emails, one of these installs took place on Nov 15th 2021

      Now, a few months ago when it started to get cold out, my windshield developed a crack horizontally across the bottom of the windshield. There are no rock chips to be found. I stopped at safelite to try and file a warranty claim, since this company advertises and states that they do have a warranty. The business was closed even though it was during business hours. I tried again, only to find it closed again.

      So I go to their website, which directed me to send an email for warranty claims.

      I sent the first email to ...To: [email protected] [email protected]
      on Dec 21 2022 and did not receive a response. I sent a 2nd email on Jan 5th and also did not receive a response. I then sent a 3rd email on Jan 9th that they also failed to respond to. No emails in my spam folder from them either.

      I then tried to call them on 1/18/2023, which took many tries to try and navigate the system, since at every option the system tried to get you to go online. I finally was able to get to warranty claims, but after putting in my phone number that is associated with my order, the automated system stated that they could not take my call and hung up.

      Then I tried their website again, was able to get ahold of someone through chat, which gave me an "unlisted back number" to call (800-638-8958), and so I called it only to have an automated system put me on hold which never got answered.

      I am beyond frustrated at this point
      I then tried there chat

      I had a cracked windshield and Safelite in American Fork repaired the broken windshield. When they removed the damaged windshield, they damaged the optical cable that is attached to my power mirror. The tech tried to fix it with the improper connector and the mirror's features stopped working. I went to the dealer to see what the problem was with my mirror and they showed me what happened. I confronted Safelite management with this over 2 months ago and have received the run around. "Let me see what is happening with your claim", but absolutely zero communication back to me regarding the status of my claim and when I can expect my mirror to be fixed properly.

      We had a small 0.25" ding in our front windshield and called our insurance company to find out about their free window crack repair offer. That program is run through Safelite, and we scheduled an appointment with them for the repair. While performing the repair, they ended up just expanding the crack to about 8" long and told us that we needed to replace the entire window, and that we would owe them nearly $500 for the replacement. It did not seem possible we could be billed for their mistake, but supposedly we were informed of this policy (we were not) and it was printed in the brochure we were supposedly given as well (we were not given one).

      It seems pretty clear why they would now offer this "free" repair service. That free repair now will cost us $500 (though we will not be using Safelite to make the repairs, I assume many people still go ahead and use them to fix the windows Safelite themselves damaged). We cannot get as much as an apology from the company. They simply say "you were informed of the risks," even though they were not. It's is also peculiar that they would not require you to sign a waiver so they can prove you were informed of the risks. Nothing on their website either.

      Very much feels like we got scammed.

      Hello,
      I am very sorry to hear about the inconvenience. I thought it would be helpful after reviewing your complaint to provide our repair guarantee which I have attached to my response. To elaborate, when a customer has a chip or a crack in their glass the windshield is considered compromised/broken. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine how the glass will react to the repair process. The outcome of a repair is affected by many factors, including but not limited to:
                  - The age of the damage
                  - The size and location of the damage on the windshield
                  - Glass is a sensitive and unpredictable material


      Our chip repairs are done to preserve the structural integrity of the glass and not for cosmetic purposes. If the repair fails i.e. starts to crack out further or is not visibly pleasing; Safelite offers a money back guarantee to the paying party where we will credit the cost of the repair back to them; however, your deductible would apply if you have one. At this point, we are respectfully declining your request for us to take liability. Nothing has been charged out to insurance or to the customer for the repair. If you need further assistance, we can be reached at 800-638-8958.
      Thank you

      Complaint: 18831829



      I do not accept this response because it continues to ignore the fact that Safelite has a responsibility to explicitly inform customers about a risk Safelite knows to be inherent in using their
      service.

      In other businesses where customers assume a risk in using a company's services, they document that customers are aware of that risk before performing the service. I have recently had glass shower doors installed in three different bathrooms. In every case, the glass company informed me up front what types of damage/breakage were considered their liability and which ones were mine. In this case, Safelite could simply provide their policies in writing and ask that a customer sign them before doing the work, rather than wait until after the damage was done and then refer customers to a note under the warranty page of their website to cover themselves.

      In continuing to research this issue, I have found numerous similar complaints from customers and had a manager of the site that broke our windshield tell me that I am certainly not alone in complaining about this issue.

      Safelite could have easily made a very minor change to their business operations and provided this policy in writing to customers and asking them to sign and acknowledge they understand the risks of using their service. Instead, they have continued to minimize (though I would prefer to use the term "hide") customer visibility of the risks the are taking on by using Safelite's services.

      At this point, it seems an intentional business policy that is deceptive and has a significant potential for abuse since the company stands to gain significantly more revenue when these breakages occur.

      Windshield was replaced through Safelite. Windshield cracked and warranty coverage was exercised. Appointment was made, technician stated windshield would be taken care of out of pocket cost was discussed as $0. After technician had car for an hour and work was completed, receptionist informed me work was not covered under warranty and cost would be out of pocket in excess of $600. This is not what was discussed about warranty when original windshield was purchased. Deliberately mislead and left me with no choice but to pay for windshield.

      After 3 attempts I am finally getting a windshield put it, one cancelled due to rain that wasn't happening, one cancelled due to bringing a scratched windshield to replace my broken one and now you are finally here for the 3rd attempt 10 minutes past your window because your company just realized that that you were going to send the technician that I specifically requested to NEVER have again come do the work. The reason I requested that technician not be sent was because at my last appointment on 1/13/2023 that technician popped the hood of my vehicle and failed to close it creating a major safety hazard not only for me but the general public as this wasn't noticed until I got on the freeway and had to make an emergency stop on the shoulder during rush hour traffic. I should be refunded the entire cost of my replacement based solely on the horrible service I have received and the amount of time I have had to wait to have my windshield replaced but I didn't request that right up until the point that the technician currently outside replacing my windshield is trying to BLAME ME for him being late saying I requested not to have a certainly tech and they had to switch at the last minute and that put them off schedule. NO! I requested not to have that tech 4 days ago when I called and spoke directly with Safelite to complain. It's your fault for not communicating that to your staff until the last minute. This entire thing has been a nightmare of safety issues, wasted time, stress and time away from work to deal with it and that is the real reason I requesting a refund. It's the VERY LEAST Safelite could do.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      There is nowhere way they even apologize for the 10  week delay or mention of the local manager at the Everett store for her song and dance,

      about the delay, they need to apologize about their whole fiasco, admit, they messed up, then I will be satisfied.
