Glass crack

I had my entire windshield replaced on December 31, 2025, through my insurance (State Farm), and I paid about $570 out of pocket. Unfortunately, just two weeks later, the windshield developed a small bullseye crack. When I contacted Safelite, I was told it wasn't covered. I ended up purchasing a repair kit from Amazon and fixing it myself. Now, two months later (February 27), the windshield has developed another crack--this time much larger. I understand that cracks can happen from road debris, but having two cracks within two months of installing brand-new glass is very concerning. My previous Honda OEM windshield lasted about three years and endured plenty of road debris before finally cracking. In comparison, this replacement glass seems far less durable. I can't help but wonder about the quality of the glass that was used. In hindsight, I wish I had gone directly to Honda for an original OEM windshield. I would appreciate any assistance or explanation from Safelite regarding this issue.

Black urethane residue
Sandy H.

Scheduled a service appointment through my insurance to get my windshield replaced after an object hit my glass. Service was completed within a couple hours. I picked up my car and all I checked was the windshield which seemed like it was installed just fine. However, I didn't think to check the body of the car until I got home and noticed all this black residue that would not come off with a wet towel. I had to call the technician and returned to the shop so they could remove all the stains. It was poor workmanship and unacceptable. The tech apologized but that's no excuse for not checking the vehicle before having it picked up. I returned home once again to find a couple tiny chipped paint areas on my hood along w scuffed areas. I scheduled a warranty service appt for the following weekend. When I arrived the front desk lady came out to inspect the hood and took photos with her phone. Proceeds to be "honest" with me and tells me safelite won't take responsibility for it because during the replacement, the tech placed a cover on the hood. It's hard to believe that. She said she would send the photos and my request for pre inspection and post inspection photos to some quality manager person. Since that day, I have called safelite to follow up at least four times and they kept saying they would let the shop know and that I'd hear from them. Never received an email w the requested photos or a follow up call from the shop or safelite. It's been such a pain to deal with them. If you have to work with them, I hope you have a better experience than me.

Van blocking customer view into the shop.

Terrible results. Now a "repaired" small ding less than the size of a dime has a major distortion in the windshield. I will need to replace the windshield now. ALSO: Check out the photos. They use the company van to block the only view the customers have into the shop. Why? What are they hiding? I definitely would not recommend this business. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I made an appointment for 2/19/2026 for my 2017 BMW M2, when I set up the appointment I placed it on the online portal when my cars information came up the quote for a new windshield with the premium service was $579.80 with calibration which I paid ahead of the appointment due to it would be cheaper than going through insurance. Today is 2/18/2026 I called to see if maybe someone may have cancelled they're appointment and see if could possibly get it done today, which they did not, but throughout the conversation with the representative on the phone (Misty) I asked how much the OEM glass would be to get, that's when she looked into and saw that they had ordered the wrong windshield for my bmw from THEIR system. She then let me know that the actual cost was $1099 for the OEE windshield and that if I went to the appointment I was still to be charged the remainder of around $520 dollars. I had mentioned I had already prepaid the price that was on my original quote for the service. And I asked if they could honor it since that's what was advertised to me, mind you I have shopped around before I decided to go safelite. She transferred me to the location store to speak to an actual rep at the facility. I explained the situation about THEIR issue with ordering the wrong windshield and they flat out told me they could not and had the audacity to just tell me to go through my insurance. At this point I'm upset and bothered, I cancelled the appointment and requested a refund for the service that was ALREADY PAID for. I took my business today to AutoGlassNow in Gardena was less than safelites swindle price of $1099 and provided the same if not better service and calibrated the ADAS system for a fraction of the price. I will be reporting this to BBB because what they advertised to me was not the price they tried to get me for if I had gone in and done the service and found out later I still needed to dish out another $520.

Windshield is doing it's job!

That feeling when you're on the freeway and a rock hits your windshield and you slowly see the crack grow bigger is the worst feeling ever! So your first reaction is you cussing up a storm while getting off the freeway and trying to figure out what the next move is. For me, I knew my next move was to call Safelite! Since I had a great experience my first time, I knew they were the ones to call. I was able to go through my insurance which was only $250 out of pocket for me. I was able to easily make an appointment. I dropped off my car in the morning, and iwas ready mid-day. My windshield is great! I'm a happy camper and even though they are awesome, I hope I don't have to come back lol. Thank you, Safelite for doing an amazing job and for your services. Hopefully, I won't come back, but if I have another issue, I will definitely be returning in a heartbeat! Thank you.

Safelite repair safelite replace jingle was helpful reminder when I needed repair! Don't you just hate that when that tiny rock hits your windshield and causes a crack right smack in the middle! Worst if it breaks the whole windshield! Either way, it's not a good experience but it happens. There were 2 cracks on my windshield and I checked on Safelite website. You can schedule appointments online and enter information about your car (yeah get those information on hand). Then it asks how many cracks you got on your windshiedl and approximate how big they are. Then at the end gives you an idea how much it will cost. Can be pricey if you pay it out of pocket or have your insurance take care of it. The Avalon location was clean and customer service was good in my opinion. The technician (who's name I don't recall right now...you know senior moments) was thorough in explaining the process of what will be done and expectations thereafter. It took only around 40 minutes to finish the whole job and billing was processed easily. Experience here was good and will bring the other car for repair...yeah those stones during travel can be a hazard!

Got Crack?  Damn pebble!!!

My windshield is not broken but it is leaking. Do you offer resealing?

Hi Sherri.This is a service that we do not offer, as we cannot guarantee your windshield would not be damaged in the process.

What if I have my own oem windshield to replace my broken one? Is the price gonna be cheaper since I got my own glass, I'll just be paying for installation?

Hi Aldrin, Thanks for reaching out. We are unable to complete replacements with glass that is not purchased from us, but we appreciate your question.

What kind of glass do they use? OEM from the manufacturer?

Hi Rachel! The part you get a quote for is an after market part unless there is not one available for your vehicle. We use a variety of trusted vendors to ensure we are getting the right part for the right price.…

Instead of overlooking it, he worked with my insurance company to make sure the car was repaired the right way. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Ace's had me in a rental car the same day I reported the claim, and about a week and a half later my car was ready. I honestly think it looks better than when I bought it. The paint is flawless, the headlights are crystal clear, the alignment is perfect, and the overall finish makes it feel like a brand-new car.

David showed up on time, but knew at a glance that he wouldn't be able to fix the crack cleanly, as someone had already tried to do so, but had botched the job. Instead of trying to fake it, or upsell me on an immediate replacement of the whole windshield, he advised that, since it was small and out of the driver's line of sight, I should just wait to see if it got worse before taking further action. He then left without charging anything and later sent a quote for a full windshield replacement, should it become necessary. That kind of integrity goes a long way with me, so JD Auto Glass will be my first call when and if I do need that new windshield.

When the technician arrived, the mirror looked different from the original but I questioned both the technician and the business assured me it was the original part. Later, I found out it was actually a cheap aftermarket mirror. To make matters worse, after the installation the technician told me the repair would only be temporary because part of the mirror wasn't being held properly. This was never mentioned before the work was done, and I had not noticed any issue like that beforehand. If a repair is only temporary or requires a different part than promised, that should be clearly explained before charging the customer. I contacted the business afterward to explain the situation. I even told them I was willing to send pictures if they needed them. They told me they would speak with the technician and get back to me. Later they said they had received pictures from the technician, but after that they stopped responding entirely. I wasn't even able to send any more messages, so it honestly feels like they may have blocked me. It's a very unfortunate situation because both the business (screenshots attached) and the technician assured me the mirror was original, yet it clearly wasn't. I will say the free mobile service initially sounded convenient, but in the end it just felt like a way to do a quick job and leave without addressing the real issues.
