Julio is legit. Got a rock chip on my windshield during a weekend and he came by the following Monday. Did a great job and did it very clean. Had an issue a few weeks later where it seemed like there was a slight problem with the filling. He came over within an hour after I notified him over text message. 10/10 service

Crack from a falling object.
Armando V.

I had a softball size crack damage the middle top part of my windshield near the rear view mirror. Its a 2014 Audi A4 I got home from a long evening at work and requested a quote to Glass surgeon and 5 other similar businesses. Within 1 hr I was sold on going with this company, keep in mind it was close to 8 PM at night and I was dreading the thought of now having my windshield fixed or replaced by then. Julio replied in a matter of minutes, gave me the product # (for an original OEM part), price (which was unbeatable), and the time he can come to replace my windshield ANYWHERE I requested the very next morning. I called him and confirmed via phone and text and he was at my house the very next morning at 9:30. He had my car ready within the hour and guided me and informed me on how to take car of it and the precautions needed for the next 1-2 days to ensure the quality of work. I am amazed by Julio's service and unfortunately just two days before someone entirely broke my mom's passenger window and he was able to get a great quote for her replacement as well. He left after completing my job, went to get the window needed and then came right back and did the work. Luckily the accepted debit/credit cards since we did not have enough cash on hand and were able to get a paypal receipt and lifetime warranty! I have had bad window/windshield replacement before and this was nothing like that. If ever (and hopefully I never do) need his services again I know I can have someone do the job quickly, with a great price and with superb quality and product. 100% got my best money's worth. Thank you Julio and keep up the great service and workmanship!

Update #2: It's been 3 years since I had my OME crap windshield replaced on my 1 month old car. In spite of the L.A. traffic and road hazards, there has been no problems with the Pilkington glass: I can not recommend this highly enough. There aren't even an abundance of the usual wear and tear microchips one always sees on windshields if you look up close in the sun. It's held up amazingly well. Second, I really have to recommend The Glass Surgeons Jesse and Julio for giving a lifetime warranty for windshields (as long as you own the car), being SO responsive (even to a semi-hysterical obsessive like myself) and so thorough (better than the dealer's mechanics). Perhaps a lifetime of mistrusting mechanics and a complete ignorance of all things auto-related worked against me when the dealer pointed a finger at the glass replacement as the cause of my car's issues. But after careful explanation and scientific cause-and-effect demonstrations, Jesse and Julio did everything I asked to fix my rain sensor problems and proved to me the cause is indisputably a faulty sensor. Luckily I have a warranty for the car, so it's back to the dealer with proof from Jesse and Julio, who asked me to let them know how it turns out. They did not rush me, or brush aside my concerns, or treat me like a loon, but ran every diagnostic test possible to show that the fault of my wipers never working came from the factory, plus a work-around until I can take it back to Mazda. They are reputable, responsible, trustworthy and stand behind their product and service 100%. And these days, no one can ask for more than that. Even though I gave them heartburn, I wouldn't go anywhere else for my auto glass! Update #1: has been 2 years now since this happened. Things may have changed. I've never had problems with the new windshield in spite of being hit a few times over the last couple of years by stray thrown stones on the freeway and even by a plywood board thrown from a truck, so these Pilkington windshields get 6 stars. Downside for Julio is my rain/light sensor never did work again. If I hit it while driving in light rain it spurts to life briefly and then dies again, making my intermittent wiper useless. Maybe it's that the windshield is thicker than the original cheapie? So all in all, I definitely recommend getting Pilkington glass through whatever glass doctor necessary. Turns out many car manufacturers now use the cheap Chinese glass in production to cut costs, from high end like Jaguar, to low end Toyota and everything in between. I also recommend the "water test" if you have a rain sensor to make sure it is performing as expected once it's reseated.

FJCruiser expert Julio working at my house.

FJ Cruisers, Julio is the expert on these! He replaced my windshield and did a professional job on it(see pic). He was on time in LA and I drove the car the same day. I highly recommend him for FJs because he knew what he was doing. I also recommend to ask Julio first about to order some plastic headpiece on the roof and antenna boot, I needed them because the pieces were already broken. I've had my truck washed since and no leaks, Thanks Julio!

Chip less than a quarter size on windshield
Geri S.

My mother's new Subaru had a chip on the windshield. She asked me to find a reputable place to have it fixed so I searched through Yelp. It was Easter Sunday, and I did not expect any shop to be open, but I still called around. I called Glass Surgeon, decided not to leave a message, but Julio called me back right away in response to a miss call. He scheduled the appointment literally the next day with a decent time frame and a quote for the repair. He said he would text just before heading to my mother's location. Julio did all he said he would. He texted me just prior to him coming, giving me enough time to give my mom the heads up, repaired the chip, and charged as quoted. My mother is happy with the results! Thanks, Julio!

5 in the morning

Highly recommend. I accidentally smashed my rear windshield at 5:30a on a Wednesday morning. I looked up glass replacements at 6a, knew that I probably wouldn't get any responses until businesses opened but several started to respond immediately - glass surgeon / Julio being one of them. His response not only gave me a quote but a specific certified glass he would be using for the replacement. As I was still contacting other vendors to compare, Julio was not only super professional but also very transparent, friendly and accommodating. Even when another company offered a $50 lower price difference - the attention to quality and customer and the fact that julio was one of the first to respond before business hours - I chose to go with Glass Surgeon. He was able to schedule me in the same day and later in the afternoon, Julio and Thomas came to replace the glass at my apt complex. They were professional, friendly and efficient. They cleaned up thoroughly, did a great job and the glass is from the manufacturer and looks amazing. Julio has been doing this 9+ years and after working with him that day, I can see exactly why customers have been giving him 5 star glowing reviews.

Brand new windshield!
Dennis T.

Glass Surgeon is the best way to get your windshield replaced. I had them replaced the windshield on my Porsche Cayman GTS and they did an amazing job. My old windshield was super pitted from use and was basically unusable if the sun hits it directly. Now, I can see everything so clearly with the brand new windshield they installed. Not only did they show up on time and do a great job, but they accidentally quoted the wrong price, but still honored it without comprimising anything. The best part is that they're mobile and come to you. Just pull your car out and they get it done. Highly recommend, will use them again the next time I need their services.

Called Julio a day before. He scheduled me for the following day. BEST SERVICE EVER. will definitely be my glass surgeon guy from now on. And the best thing, they go to you :) :)

Windshield installed 95 e36 M3 BMW. see prep work on bottom right - left bottom close up of rubber.  came out clean.

My kid brother has a project car. Car is mechanically running well now but there's a big crack across the windshield. That's a problem. Easy pullover from law enforcement. He's a teen, looks suspect, thats a ticket, waste of time and money. The windshield needed to be replaced asap. Googled to look for a local business, a few pop'd up - dealt with safelite before - not happy with their service or products. That's my personal opinion. Other's glass business didn't have reviews so it was iffy. Resorted to calling a friend that works at a body shop, his glass guy is busy and I remember him being a bit of an asshole. Finally I dug into Yelp and found Glass Surgeon. Had great reviews, business was based out of my old neighborhood. Called another friend from the old neighborhood and surprisingly he recommended Julio. Called Julio and he answered promptly - asked if he services Whittier - he said yes. He asked if I would like the windshield fixed today - told him the next day would be better for me. Gave me a quote over the phone - I texted the car info and location and he confirmed early next day. Excellent communication -He came out next day, good guys, very professional. Removed the old glass that was installed terribly from the previous owner. There was rust build'n up under the glue. Julio pointed it out, the rust was starting - he had his recommendations. Julio explains everything to you, no fuse no pressure. It was dealt with accordingly. They prep'd perfectly, primed and sealed. Julio even went out of his way on a small section that had a good amount of rust and hit it with a wire brush. I understand that's an extra fee and he helped my kid brother - which was above and beyond what they needed to do. Glass came with good rubber - OEM style installed and looks great. The Glass he uses is reputable, not china cheapy one - I've gone through enough windshields to understand cheap glass is cheap glass wherever it's made. Price was excellent, paid cash, quality of work top notch, communication great, mobile service excellent. I'm gonna tell my buddy at the body shop to call Julio up - he's just great to deal with. My kid bro is happy. Thanks Julio, much appreciate the service. *attached some photos - see close up of the prep work.

I promised Julio to write him a review in Chinese since most of his Chinese customer has a hard time to communicate with him. He is very professional and friendly, also offer a life time warranty on the windshield I replaced. 在后座挡风玻璃被人敲碎以后通过farmers insurance拿到了 Julio的电话。店主Julio人很热心并且专业又效率的完全了整个工作, 推荐。

Rocky's Mobile Windshield Glass Rock Chip Repair

(201 reviews)

My wife had a rock flung at the windshield at high speed on the 210 freeway. It left a small chip…read moreand a few small hairline cracks. Called Rocky the same day for a windshield repair, and he said he had availability the next morning. Next morning comes and Aren was very communicative about when he would arrive, keeping us updated with his ETA. He parked in the garage and set to work repairing the cracks and afterwards, sealing it. Total time was probably half an hour to an hour, and in the meanwhile he answered all our questions, and even offered us some tostada style chips covered in churro seasoning. The repair was finished in no time, and he was very honest about what it would look like and if it would disappear (spoiler alert: was a bad hit so it won't be invisible unfortunately) It was fine to me. I appreciated the repair and timeliness, and also good value. Thanks Aren!

DON'T recommend this place at all. I have a small little…read morechip (less than 2mm) on my windshield, but it's still there!!- SAME SIZE AND SHAPE after Rocky repaired. He's been telling me that the scar cannot be removed and you will still see it. What is the point to fix it then? He charged me $145 for one small little chip ( including his travel fee) when he doesn't even have a shop anyway. I told him that I am not happy about the results, but HE SAID HE IS SO HAPPY ABOUT IT. HE WAS SATISFIED WITH HIS WORK. I guess He doesn't care about the customers, but only his feelings. He offered me to clean windows with special tools, but you will be disappointed. Totally NOT WORTH IT. I just got ripped off. I have to look for another repair shop for sure.
