    Seimone S.

    I initially left this review on Google Reviews and felt it should be here on Yelp, too... My car was vandalized and 4 windows were shattered + body damage. Fix Auto Costa Mesa was listed as recommended by my insurance, so I called them. My car took 4 weeks to be completed, which is fine since I understand supply chain challenges... But that's not why I am leaving a negative review. When I picked up my car in March, it would not start correctly. I have keyless entry/start (my car can start with the key in my purse + the plastic fob in the ignition). After their work, my car would ONLY crank when the physical key was in the ignition. The tech said, "Well, it works this way, so why don't you just do that?" Because that's not the same as how it worked BEFORE you worked on it? Long story short, a fuse blew. Upon trying to start my car the next day, it wouldn't. I placed my battery on the charger/repair cycle and it held for a day before failing again. I bet the staff at Fix Auto didn't properly disconnect my battery, so my battery died. It was 3 years old, but most batteries last 5? Regardless, I went ahead just bought a new one. 2 days later, I get a call from Fix Auto saying "someone left their airpods in your trunk and Find My iPhone says it's at your home address." Comforting, right? I drove it over to them. I don't often have passengers in my car, so it took a week to notice that the front passenger door lock didn't work (Fix Auto replaced that window). I noticed it was getting jammed as I opened/locked the door and that a grommet was missing from the interior side. They missed putting a component back (see pic). They fixed the grommet and said that should fix the door lock. It didn't. The door handle was getting stuck (see picture), even after the grommet was corrected. I was frustrated and asked for the manager of the shop. She stated that the door handle was stuck "due to wear." Please explain to me how the door handle not working is MY FAULT, when it worked PERFECTLY prior to me dropping it off. Wouldn't the driver side door show wear 10x sooner than the passenger side, since the driver side is utilized far more frequently? Annoying response, but she caved and agreed to fix the handle. She placed the part on order and I was to return after a few days. The part arrived and I went back (we're in April now). Upon checking in my car, a tech did a walk-around and informed me that the back passenger side window wasn't rolling up properly. That back window was one that Fix Auto replaced after the vandalism. I said that AGAIN, this is due to Fix Auto's sloppy handiwork. They fix the window in addition to the reason for this visit-- the handle they destroyed. I left my car overnight and received a call the next day that they still can't fix the handle because they need ANOTHER part (the one they ordered isn't sufficient). They can't even properly diagnose what's wrong. I asked for my car to be reassembled and that I'd bring it back after my vacation (out of the country for 2 weeks). We're in May now. I asked Fix Auto to pick my car up, work on it, and bring it back because I am sick of the 6+ times I've had to return to the shop and coordinate rides. They finally return my car and I think I'm finally DONE with them. Now... I'm sitting in my car on my lunch as I write this because even after I thought my car was back to normal, it's not. The interior door handle of the back seat, passenger side, felt sharp as I shut it. They worked on this door's window. Something wasn't right. I rummaged through my backseat and found an unfamiliar plastic component (see pic). The handle didn't have this plastic clicked back in. GO FIGURE. If you can AVOID going here, I suggest it. This review related to the quality of work, but don't even get me STARTED on the staff at this place. Such ATTITUDES. Oh well.

    Here is how they left my trunk

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want rude customer service and your car to be trashed on the inside when you get it, by all means go here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only was my car trashed when picking it up, Dave told Jennifer that my car was done so she had enterprise pick up my rental just for my car NOT to be complete and had to have my rental returned to me, making me wait almost an hour when I didn't have to if they were transparent over the phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then the next day I came to pick it up just for them again to not have the part and told me I can come back first thing in the morning. This continued for 3 whole days until they actually had the reflector for my car. I showed them how trashed my car was and how they broke my dogs car bed. Dave and manager Matthew promised that they would replace them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Here it is 13 days later, I drove to the shop just to be yelled at, hand in face and disregarded by Dave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He is unprofessional and 'desk girl" Jennifer, as she calls herself tried to butt into a conversation she was never apart of.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Again, I strongly advise anyone to avoid if possible. Photos attached. I really tried not to post a negative review but now that it's been 13 days and nothing has been done as promised, I have no choice.

    Before I found OC Windshields, I honestly didn't know there was such a big difference between a…read morebasic windshield installation and a quality one. A few years ago, I had my windshield replaced by another shop because it was a little cheaper. They rushed the job, reused old molding, and didn't prep the surface correctly. The windshield looked fine at first, but after the first heavy rain I started noticing water leaking inside my car. Later I learned that shortcuts like poor cleaning, improper primer application, or not allowing the adhesive to cure properly can lead to leaks, wind noise, and even reduce the windshield's ability to protect you in an accident. When I went to OC Windshields, they took the time to explain the entire process. They showed me why quality urethane adhesive matters, why proper preparation is so important, and why rushing a windshield installation can create problems down the road. I realized I wasn't just paying for a piece of glass I was paying for safety, experience, and peace of mind. Sometimes the cheapest option ends up costing more. After seeing the difference firsthand, I can honestly say the quality was worth every penny. If you're getting your windshield replaced, don't just compare prices. Compare the workmanship. It makes all the difference.

    Communication and setting appointment was relatively easy…read more Cash avoids the 3% cc fee. I dropped off my car at 9a and came back at 4p (closing time, even though the business hours on this page says 7p) and still had to wait till 4:45p to drive off with my car. If you are on a time budget, schedule the weekend or something. I was late to get back to work. The work itself was good and the Xpel XR nano-ceramic tint is truly an excellent product. VERY good heat reduction I've notice inside my car on these hot hot summer days. Definitely would recommend their service, but be mindful of your time in case it isn't a 'quick' pickup.

    I had a job that was done by Safelite under insurance, but it was not very good (misaligned,…read moreexposed edges, misplaced universal molding/trim, etc.). I started looking around at local shops that take Farmers. My requirements were to use all OEM trim, foam, etc. to ensure that the fit and finish looked original and to avoid another Safelite-quality 'repair'. Out of all the local OC shops I talked to, Johnny was the only one who took the time to carefully listen to my concerns. He researched all the OEM parts for me on the first phone call. If you care about the details of your car, ask for Johnny because he really understands his customers. Others on the team are just as great. They kept in touch with me even when Johnny was away for a few days. I brought my car to the shop and the team kept me informed throughout the whole process. It was a quick job but they did it right, which is not what Safelite did. Avoid Safelite and just go with this shop (they are part of the Farmers affiliate network).

    I reached out to 10 different places for quotes on a new windshield. Signature wasn't the lowest…read morebut was far from the highest. However, they were the most comprehensive in their initial quote and quoted me top-tier glass. If you have a front-mounted camera for adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc., you HAVE to have the system recalibrated after a new windshield is installed. Several quotes suggested it's an option. It's not. Signature was on top of it when I asked about the calibration and how it was performed. They always responded to my several questions as I was deciding between two different auto glass shops. Signature won out for being quick to respond and offering more for less. I finalized the appointment on a Friday, and they were able to get me in on Monday morning. Monday came, and I was there at 8:30 (FYI: It's a little tricky to find as it's a small driveway, so slow down when you get close.) The guiding me into the garage where my window was already set up, ready to go. They led me to their waiting room with a TV, coffee, etc. They came in, showed me that my camera was slightly misaligned after removing my window, and said it would hopefully be corrected when they were done. About 90 minutes later, they came and got me, said they were done, and went through the report that said my camera had been perfectly recalibrated. Taking the care home, the window looked great! In more tests, it rained the next night, so I went for a drive, and there were zero leaks around the window. I couldn't have asked for a better product or service. One final hint - pay cash if you can. They appreciate it.
