I initially scheduled a service with this company in the beginning of January. Due to weather and my work schedule it got postponed numerous times. Finally got the window installed and after noticed damage on the interior panel trim and when I was driving home from work tried to use my wipers and they werent installed correctly so they didnt work. Theyve come out and fixed the wiper and documented the damage on my vehicle. On February 14 they came back out to reinstall the window due to wind noise and the window not being correctly centered. Again they documented all the damages and said they would get back to me. On March 6, I called the store and spoke to ****** and he said they see the documentation and spoke to the master technician in the store and that the trim needed to replaced and they would come replace the window due to scuffs that occurred during the reinstall on Feb. 14. It is now May 5 and still have not heard from the store and have tried calling numerous times with no answer. I have also called the 800 number with no response. I emailed the CEO on may 1st and havent had any response. At this point I just want to receive a refund for the work so I can properly get this fixed somewhere else.Business Response

On 3 Dec 2024 I made an appointment through my auto insurance (****) to replace a cracked windshield on my car. Safelite came on 6 Dec 2024 and performed the replacement. In the process they broke the rearview mirror on my car and disconnected the washer fluid system. This damage is supposed to be covered under their 100% Guarantee warranty. They acknowledged the damage at the time of the glass replacement. They scheduled a warranty repair appointment later that month. Just before the warranty appointment they called to reschedule, ostensibly waiting on parts. The reschedule was for 3 Jan 2025. The repair technician did not show up and I had to contact the company. I was told that they had ordered the wrong for my mirror and so they weren't going to come. I told them to send somebody to fix my windshield washing system as a safety concern which they did that night. The mirror was not repaired because they had the wrong parts. After this point the company stopped responding to requests for information. The only phone number connects to an automated voice machine and won't let you talk to a person. I e-mailed the Safelite corporate who claimed they would put me in touch with a human at the local office. Neither the local office nor the Safelite corporate representative are answering my e-mails nor have they provided me with a phone number to contact anybody.Business Response

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am one of the ************* Agents that has been assigned to your case. I do understand that at the replacement service on 12/3/2024, the rear view mirror was damaged. You were informed parts were ordered, and we would be out for warranty service. This was scheduled for 1/3/2025, but the mirror was not addressed. The wiper fluid sprayer concern was resolved, but only after the tech did not arrive, and you had to call in for information. I do sincerely apologize for this, and this has been escalated to our upper management team for review and assistance. I will be continuing to monitor and follow up on this case until a resolution has been reached. Once we do have some updates, I will be sure this is communicated directly to you, either from our management team, or from me directly. Please let me know if there may be anything further we could assist you with. Feel free to reply directly to this email as well. Thank you and have a great day!

My vehicle was serviced on April 22nd 2025. Improper installation of the windshield in 2023 had caused water infiltration into the cabin of my vehicle. This was rectified during the visit. The staining and water damage was to be addressed by a detailer, as agreed upon. However, upon receiving the vehicle back, it was noticed that the leather of the steering wheel was perforated at the ~12 ******* position. When this was brought to the attention of the quality managers, they remarked that this was "normal wear and tear" and refused to repair the damage. The district manager repeated this message, despite the age of the vehicle, or the grime that had been embedded in the perforation. (This same grime is located in multiple areas in the vehicle, such as the wheel and the latch to open the hood. The vehicle has been cleaned before being brought to the ********** Safelite Auto Glass location) The managers involved have been completely unwilling to communicate with me. The only responses I have gotten are by calling the store manager (**** is fantastic) or speaking with customer service, who claim to be unable to do anything to assist directly. The vehicle (2023 Genesis ***** was left in the care of the technicians in ******* in clean, undamaged condition (except the water damage) and returned with grime and leather damage. No one will own the damage. This is unacceptable.Business Response

Hello and Good afternoon!
We greatly apologize about this matter and no resolution for your damages. We are working diligently with our management team to help and try and locate an resolution. They have looked over the diagnostic sent over and we aren't able to locate the cost or estimate for the steering wheel damage. If we could we would like to ask for a diagnostic from the dealer as that does include the scope of work for the steering wheel damages. Once we have that we can try and provide more assistance. We appreciate your understanding and patience!

Unfortunately **** uses safelite for windshield claims. Safelite sent me a link that would not work, to upload images of the damage. When I called and told them the problems I had, they said the link and online app is the only method of submitting images and there is no alternative if it doesn't work (which it didn't). They were rude and unprofessional and provided no alternative means to prove the damage. The response was so horrible that I'm considering leaving **** for working with such incompetent people.Business Response

I got my windshield replaced on 07JAN25 at ***************, ** by Safelite Autoglass out of ***********, ** and again on 01MAY25 for what should have been covered under warranty. On 29APR25 on/about 4pm, I got into my car, adjusted my mirror and my mirror came off my windshield. It snapped off and my mirror was dangling by the electrical wiring. The gas on the windshield was cracked. I set up an appointment to get my windshield replaced same day. On 01MAY25, about an hour before my appointment, I realized the defective workmanship of bonding my mirror to my windshield could be covered under warranty. I called the Safelite customer service line and asked for my appointment to be switched to a warranty service order. I expect Safelite workmanship to make my mirror bond to my windshield, even under hot desert conditions. Safelite technician arrived at my residence, looked at the damage and confirmed with his boss over the telephone. His boss determined this was not defective workmanship, but I tore my mirror off my windshield. I am seeking a refund for service rendered.Business Response

I took my car to them ******* **, *********, ****, because my windshield was cracked. They calld me to say they could not replace it as they did not have teh right windshils. There was a mix up, thinking my car was someone elses. Then they gave me the keys. As soon as I left, I realized there were issues: front collision sensor, back up camera, the plastic cover over the wiring on the widnshield fell off. I called my bank and stopped payment on the check. I did not get a receipt or invoice or any paperwork.
I was told to return the following Saturday. I returned and they said they couldn't look at it. They could not find me in their records under my name or phone number, they have no record of me having the windshield replaced. I was then told to take ti somewhere else.

My appointment was at 2:00 to fix a Windshield chip repair. The customer service clerks stated it would be 35 minutes before it was completed. Thirty-five minutes later, I asked if it was finished. The clerk stated they forgot about it. Fifteen minutes later, I checked to see about the progress and they forgot to work on it again. I had to enter the garage to speak with a technician to make sure they started their job.I want compensation for wasting my time for you not doing your job. I basically had to do the clerks job.Business Response

I am writing to bring to your attention a discrepancy I encountered while obtaining cost for a windshield replacement through your service.I received two different prices for the exact same service and vehicle information. The first cost was $281.34 and the second cost was $327.62 There was no clear explanation for the difference, and this inconsistency is quite concerning as a customer seeking reliable and transparent service. I have the supporting documentation (emails) that support this claim.I am a disable veteran and I would appreciate it if you could rectify this issue. I also ask that you consider honoring the lower price I was given. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

On 3/24/25, I scheduled an appointment with Safelite to repair a chip in my windshield. The next morning, the crack had spread, so I called to update the appointment to a replacement. I was offered two options: a free universal windshield or an *** windshield for $474.69. I initially chose the free option, but after discussing with my husband, I called back and changed to the *** option, specifically requesting the original windshield with the etched **** Benz signature, as came with my Mercedes that I loved so much. When the technician arrived, I explained I was paying extra to receive that same *** windshield. After installation, I discovered it did not have the **** Benz signature and was not the same as the original, it only said "Mercedes." I called Safelite to express my concern. A service manager later told me that the windshield I expected is only available directly from ******** and that Safelite cannot obtain it. This key detail was never disclosed to me before purchase or installation. Had I known this, I would not have agreed to pay $474.69. I believe I was misled and requested a resolution: either a full refund or to replace the incorrect windshield with the originally offered universal one and refund the $474.69. I was told neither was possible because the installed windshield couldnt be reused, but that is not my responsibility. The only resolution offered was a **** Benz sticker to apply to the windshield. I declined, as the original signature was etched in the glass, not a sticker and I do not want a bunch of writing all over the windshield. I escalated the matter and was told someone would follow up. Its now been over a month with no response. I feel this was mishandled and am seeking a full refund or a proper replacement consistent with what I was promised.Business Response

Good morning,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to follow up regarding your concerns about the missing ************* signature etching on the replacement glass. The etched logo is applied during the original manufacturing process and is not something that can be ordered or replicated after installation. For this reason, ************* provides a factory-issued emblem sticker as an alternative solution for situations like this. We would be happy to order and install the sticker at no cost. We understand how important the appearance and authenticity of your vehicle are to you, and we want to do what we can to make this right. If you wish to revisit the offer or if you have any further questions, please let me know!

I am rejecting this response because:
Thank you for your response, but this option has already been presented and does not resolve the issue. I did not receive the product I requested, and simply adding more wording to the existing windshield will not meet my expectations. It would result in a cluttered appearance and is not an acceptable solution.
The only way I would consider resolving this matter is if you replace the current windshield with a universal version, apply the proper sticker, and issue a refund for the amount I paid. But again, this would be a sacrifice on my end, because what I was expecting was the etched **** Benz signature like I had and the whole reason I called back and decided to pay the almost $500. It was to get that windshield, I was never told otherwise.
As such, I respectfully reject this offer.

Good afternoon,
We apologize for the inconvenience experienced. Per the confirmation from the field management, unfortunately the etched glass is only available from the original glass when the vehicle is manufactured and cannot be ordered. As shown on the attached work order, the factory glass was installed and the option is still available as mentioned by the field to order and apply the factory sticker that the manufacturer offers in placement of the etching. Due to this information not being relayed to you prior to installation, Safelite will offer to refund the *** differential as a courtesy in the amount of $474.69. To proceed with this payment please complete and return the attached document at your earliest convenience. The witness portion will also need to be signed by a legal adult of the age of 18 or older.
