I bought a used Escalade in Portland with a pitted window. The dealership made a deal with the CHEAPEST price in the Dalles. Installer came out to waters edge and installed while I was in cardiac class.
When I started to drive off, immediately noticed squeaks from the window against the A-pillar molding. I called Advanced, the gal gave me the owner's # which he didn't answer, left a text with the secretary and the owner finally called back an hour later.
Immediately started in with denials and excuses, the squeaking would go away in a couple of days ( it did not), they didn't punch a hole in the dash 4 inches away from the windshield, wouldn't even talk about the dirty fingerprints on each A-pillar, fabric covered A-pillars.
So I had to drive over to Advanced wrecking shop so the owner could drive downtown to let his installer hear it. All the way there he argued that it was the door or window making the noise.
Installer agreed with me, readjusted the molding to clear the window that he set too close to the molding, installer tried to rub out stains half-heartedly on the A-pillars, no explanation for hole in the dash, NO APOLOGY.
Owner acted irritated and condescending the whole time, even before seeing/hearing what happened.
I had a window replaced the week before by Northwest Windshields plus on a 2012 Dodge. They came to my house, wore gloves during the install, great job and ATTITUDE.
I have a fleet that gets a window a year chipped/cracked . I will never return to Advanced as long as there is any alternative. read more
