      On November 9, 2022 I took my Honda Pilot to Safelite in Newton, MA to have a cracked windshield replaced. My car is newer and requires a calibration with any windshield replacement. My insurance company paid the $1200 bill ($600 for calibration). While driving on 12/7 on the highway for the first time since the replacement, my lane assist took control of the steering wheel and jerked so much I almost hit a car next to me on the highway. I was within the lines of the highway. Frightened because my child was in the car with me, I called Safelite and no one answered. I then called Honda to see if they could advise what to do. I got my vehicle into the Honda dealership for service and they redid the calibration. The mechanic told me the calibration was done very incorrectly and it was very dangerous. I paid $350 out of pocket to ensure the safety of my family. I called Safelite on 12/13 and as I was explaining what happened to the customer service agent, she did not apologize or even seem to feel bad that I had a scary experience. In fact, she hung up on me. I would like to be reimbursed the $350 that I had to pay out of pocket to remedy this situation. I’m attaching the calibration certificate that was given to me by Safelite (actual certificate link comes back with an error message)and also the bill from Honda. Safelite put me and my family in severe danger.

      I accept the business's response to resolve this complaint. ****** did reach out today and Safelite will be reimbursing me the $350 out of pocket that I paid the Honda dealership to fix the calibration on my vehicle. She was very kind and I am appreciative that we were able to come to a resolution.

      September 1, 2022 - Safelite comes for a full windshield replacement following crack.
      November 1, 2022 - Rear view mirror fell off. Informed that windshield needs to be replaced completely. Appointment scheduled for November 5th . Safelite informs me that full windshield will need to be replaced.
      November 4, 2022 - Appointment at Safelite shop in Woburn. They informed me there that windshield did not need to be replaced and they could glue mirror back on. They did so and also remounted the remote starter to the driver side visor instead of windshield. They tucked wire under windshield molding and never mentioned they were doing so. On the ride home, rear view mirror fell off again.
      November 5, 2022 - Called back. Insisted on OEM glass. Was told that they would submit a claim to insurance which would likely be declined. They told me they would follow-up first thing on Monday (the 7th).
      November 7, 2022 - No call from Safelite as of late afternoon, so I reached out. They told me that insurance company declined the request. I called insurance and this was untrue, but I did not feel like pursuing further. Safelite scheduled another home repair for Nov 10th.
      November 10, 2022 - Tech leaves remote starter on visor, replaces windshield, mirror fell off same day. We immediately called Safelite and they assured us we would get OEM glass next time around. They said we would have to wait for parts to arrive and scheduled appt for November 28th.
      November 27, 2022 - Called them to make sure we were all set. They confirmed
      November 28, 2022 - No show. No call. I called and they said he didn't come because he didn't have molding. They wouldn't allow me to reschedule until they it in hand. Next appointment ultimately scheduled for 12/13/22
      December 10, 2022 - Call to make sure everything in order. Ask specifically about molding. Told that molding is part of the windshield order.
      December 13, 2022- Windshield replaced, no molding. Driving with incomplete repair.

      I am rejecting this response because: Nothing has been done.  I got one email last week that somebody was looking into this and would be reaching out shortly.  Haven't heard anything. From my perspective, this is just a continuation of the experience I complained about to begin with.  I understand these things probably take (more) time, but this complaint is absolutely not resolved.

      Complaint: 18569584



      I am rejecting this response because: I went to the appointment on 12/31.  They did not have the parts.  The manager knew that hours before I got there and never reached out.  He (Pablo) also suggested that I must have gone around him to schedule the appointment.  He insisted that only he could/would call me when the parts were in.  I didn't play him the voicemail from his colleague Matt, who reached out on the 23rd and told me my parts were in, but should have.  He then told me to 'have a nice day' without offering any sort of solution. After an exchange, the manager then followed me out to my car and suggest "I eat a bag of dicks on behalf of Safelite".  This is far from resolved and my car remains un-fixed.  Seven months after my initial appointment.

      I had scheduled service through my insurance for December 7th between 8 am and noon, around 11:30 am I get a phone call stating that the windshield was not in stock about 1 hr. later I got a call from the “supervisor” saying that the part was broken by the driver while in transit and that they needed to reschedule, I did not make a big deal about the lie that I was being told by either employee and accepted the rescheduling of my service, for today, December 13th between 8 and noon, the technician showed up at my house at 11:15 and tells us that they did not have the right part I got a call from the shop and the guy said that he was sorry but that they did not have the part for my vehicle, even though I updated all the information on my vehicle to include that YES, it had sensors, that YES, it had a de-fogger.
      First I was lied to, then I am told “ sorry we don’t have the part” I asked to speak to a manager, he stated that they did not have the part, I explained my frustration, I had to use another person's car twice already for nothing; to what he kept saying he was sorry and I had to wait, he scheduled me for another mobile visit on Dec 21st, which I said was unacceptable because I needed the car to get inspected by the 16th he said that if anything I needed to come in on the 15TH to get it done at the shop, I asked, can I drop off the night before? will you have the part then? the correct part?? he said, “I can’t make any promises" it is NOT about making promises, is about giving ACCURATE information, I was told lots of things can happen in transit. I DO understand things happen, but I also know that PLANNING and having back up plans offering solutions not just repeating that you are sorry,
      I asked for them to let me know the morning of the 15th IF the right part arrived at the shop, if so, would arrive in the PM due to work; he replied, “we don’t stay late”. This is BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE.

      BMW camera safety systems damaged by Safelite; will not honor warranty.

      07/16: Cracked windshield repair with aftermarket glass costing $900+. 1st recalibration done at Safelite. Vehicle delivered w/ camera (KAFAS) working without error. Glass was installed, recal was initially successful, however, w/i the 1st hour the KAFAS failed. Losing KAFAS means no road sign recognition, no auto headlights, no pedestrian detection, and no forward collision. Critical safety systems.

      07/26: 2nd recal attempt. Same story as 1st recal; initial success w/ system failure happening w/i the 1hr of driving.

      08/29: Took vehicle to BMW to attempt recal as normal service was required. Results were the same as Safelite’s; recal was initially successful but failed w/i 1hr of driving. I paid $200 myself for this in good faith that Safelite would pay to fix my issue.

      10/24: Tried to swap the aftermarket glass with OEM glass as aftermarket glass can cause issues with camera systems. Safelite installed OEM glass and attempted recal. Same result; failure. My aftermarket glass was ceramic coated and had ceramic tint installed. New OEM glass was ~$400 more than aftermarket glass. Safelite installed for free due to losing my tint. Now the vehicle had no KAFAS, tint, or coating.

      11/23: BMW scans found error codes related to KAFAS. Service manual says to replace the camera. Cost to repair Safelite’s damage: $2362.71. Safelite told me this would not covered as they had no fault. As proof they sent 2 of their own scans; 1 is a pre-scan from 07/16 showing 0 errors, the other is a post-scan from 10/24 with 3 errors (1 for the ABS/DSC system due to wheels w/o TPMS sensors [unrelated to KAFAS], the 2nd for electronics [related to KAFAS], and the 3rd is for the instrument system [directly mentions KAFAS and the failed sub-systems])”.

      To recap: Vehicle delivered w/ 0 error codes and 100% function. Vehicle returned by Safelite w/ 2 errors and broken camera system. Neither BMW or I broke this system.

      The rear view window shattered on December 1 due to electrical problems. I took it to Safelite Auto Glass for repair. They fixed the window. On December 8, my rear view window shattered again with no new damage done to it. I scheduled a warranty repair with Safelite, and even went out to the ****** location on December 9 for them to put crash in my window so that it did not cave in. On my actual appointment day, December 10 they said that they were charging me full price, again to repair the window since it was “new damage” that occurred. Per their policy and warranty, I meet the criteria to have my window replaced for free. However, they did honor it because they could not “determine when and how the damage occurred” and insisted that it was “new damage”.

      On November 17 I had my windshield replaced and was given a price using insurance we had a deductible and then had to pay for new wiper blades the total cost should have been $529 when my husband picked up the vehicle the cost was $604 upon looking at the receipt they charged us for some type of rain guard that was $44.99. I’ve asked for a refund for that amount because I didn’t authorize it nor did I want. Was finally told that I would be reimbursed the amount in about 10 days but haven’t received it. I called again and haven’t been able to get an answer for why I haven’t received the check.

      My new 2022 Jeep Wrangler had a 1/4-inch chip in my windshield for about a month. Since the windshield did not crack after that time, I decided to have a professional fill the chip and contacted Safelite via their website to schedule. Scheduling was easy. Based on the 5-hour window they needed, I decided to have this completed at my office. The tech showed up, and I showed him the chip. He said it would take him 15 minutes to fill and he would text me when completed. I went back into my office. Once the tech texted me, I went out to inspect and pay. This is when things turned for the worse with Safelite. Upon inspection of the repair, the tech had created 4 cracks in the windshield, roughly 3 inches per crack. I confronted the tech about this. He said the "repair had failed." I disagreed and asked how can a repair fail if it hadn't been completed yet. The tech refused to take ownership for cracking my windshield. At that point, I felt like I was being scammed and defrauded. I demanded to speak to a manager, and none could be reached for over 20 minutes. The tech had to call another store to speak to a manager there. Once on the phone with a manager, they repeated the same phrase, the repair had failed. We will not take ownership of that. They stated I needed to file an insurance claim so they could replace the windshield. I refused to make an insurance claim on a windshield that cracked during a simple and minor repair. It took me nearly 45 minutes to get the tech's actual manager on the phone. I told them this sounds like insurance fraud. The tech told me this is the risk you take when filling a chip. He never told me about any risks, and I never signed any paperwork disclosing any risks. He offered to cancel the appointment like it never happened so I wouldn't have to pay. The store manager ********* was rude to the customer who just had his windshield cracked by their tech. The tech was dishonest to protect himself and his job.

      Hello,
      Thank you for contacting our office. With further investigation. I'm so sorry that the repair on your vehicle has failed.  While we do have a very high success rate with our repairs, there is no way to determine how the already damaged 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 where we will credit the cost of the repair toward the replacement of a new windshield; however, your deductible or out of pocket cost would apply. If you are interested in a quote, please feel free to contact us at *************

      I accept the business's response from the EST Customer Care representative I have been emailing with. I still think Safelite should have customers sign something acknowledging that further damage may happen so that we have a choice if we are willing to take that risk.

      I had Safelite come out to fix a crack in my windshield. The gentleman that came out name was ******. He then proceeded to fix the windshield. Upon further inspection after ****** was gone I noticed damage to my vehicle! The first thing I noticed was the huge dent he left in my hood as well as scratches where it appears he made a mess and tried cleaning it up. Unfortunately did not work leaving my hood looking destroyed. After that I looked the vehicle over to make sure he had not damaged anything else! Not only had ****** messed my hood up he also almost knocked my mirror clean off also denting my cars fender in the process! I’m absolutely shocked that this man came here to fix a simple chip in a windshield and walked away knowing he had just caused all of this damage to my vehicle. Now I’m not the type of person to complain if someone does a good job! This was not the case and my poor car shows it! I will be notifying Safelite and my insurance company of this situation and I hope we can come to an agreement also to make sure ****** does not do this to anyone else! Thank you for your time

      Hello please see response from our District Trainer 

      Good Afternoon,

      The technician went out to assess Mr. ******** damage claim on his 2008 Chevrolet Impala which he told the tech he bought last month. It does have some normal wear & tear damage that you would expect on a 14 year old car. The damage he is referring to is all on the passenger side, which is the opposite side from where we did the repair. The customer states the hood is all scratched up, but it is actually swirl marks in the clear coat. They are so small the technician couldn’t get a good picture of it. A coat of wax should take care of that issue. Customer states we damaged the mirror on the passenger side, which does have rock chips in the paint as well as what appears to a smear of red paint? He also found two small dents on the passenger side as well. I have attached the photos from the visit today and based on what they show, I don’t see how a technician performing a repair could have cause what looks normal for wear & tear on a 14 year old car. I will reach out to the customer tomorrow.

      If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

      Thank you,

      ****

      I got my front window replaced a couple of months ago, I had used this comapny about 16 years ago and I was not pleased with them but I gave them another chance - BAD NEWS. They are full time scam artists, my window looks like it is brand new but you cannot tell until it rains and now it is raining, so when I came out this morning , there was rain and I could see with the street lights that there are sooo many deep water spots on my NEW supposed window, this is the same ordeal I went through 16 years ago. Whom ever they get their product from must keep their windows outside rain or shine and they are damaged badly. i want my money back and I want a new - I SAID NEW window that does not have this permanent water damage on it.

      Work order# ************
      TOTAL$124.68
      PARTS: $50.98
      LABOR $70.00

      THE RECIEPT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT NEW WINDSHIELD WIPERS. Wipers were not authorized, nor were they installed!

      Safelite came to my place of employment to fix a chip in my windshield. (3630 Cornhusker Hwy branch, Lincoln, Nebraska). I witnessed the entire repair. I paid $54.68 from my debit card, but have a ZERO comp deductible on my car. This was confusing to me at the time, but I was at work and had important things to get back to. I planned to turn the reciept into my insurance later.

      My wife (listed on insurance) has been in contact with Allstate several times, about this claim. Allstate DID MAIL SAFELITE A CHECK FOR OVER $120 which is an overpayment!

      FAST FORWARD TO NOW, December 9 2022. My wife got a message from the insurance company 12/5/2022, saying they got an email from SAFELITE, CLAIMING the $54.68 we paid, was for windshield wipers!!

      So, SAFELITE GOT PAID TWICE FOR IMAGINARY WINDSHIELD WIPERS!! ONCE BY US, AND ONCE BY ALLSTATE, (Allstate does not cover windshield wipers)! NOW, ALLSTATE HAS TO RECOVER THEIR MONEY AND SO DO I! SAFELITE IS RUNNING INSURANCE SCAM!

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I was told, on December 9th, 2022, they were sending me a check. I have not seen it yet. Please keep this complaint open. I will report to BBB when I receive the check.
