The install looks top notch and was completed earlier than advised. I had window tint on most of my vehicles and it is good to have the tint on as the heat starts to ramp up. If anyone is looking to get tint on their ride, I suggest contacting Vi Vinyls.

Had a small rock chip in my windshield. Gave Pristine Glass a call and spoke with the owner,…read moreGraham. He was very accommodating at getting my vehicle in as quickly as possible. The great thing about Pristine Glass is that they have the in-house calibration equipment needed for more sophisticated vehicles that have rain sensing, heating elements and speed control sensors all affected by a windshield replacement. Most shops have to send your vehicle to another shop to have the sensor calibration work done. Pristine Glass can do that in-house!

Mazda dealership in fact suggested going here as it was probably something to do with some kind of broken seal that they would likely send out anyway and I'm so glad I did! John, the owner, could've gouged me for a lot more money like most dealerships would have and I never would've known. Instead, he was honest and straight up. Had the problem figured out in about 10 min, told me to go buy the parts myself and save their markup, and it would be an easy fix he'd have done in about half an hour. True to his word, I was in and out, and all for an EXTREMELY reasonable cost. I also have a cracked driver's' side mirror that I've been avoiding fixing as it was too expensive through Mazda, but I've now ordered one through Apple as I know it'll be another fast and easy fix. Being new to Nanaimo, so happy I lucked out finding these guys on my first repair and can't recommend them enough. Love "service" businesses that get that taking a little less up front almost always guarantees long-term relationships in the end. I will definitely use Apple for any other repairs and wanted to take a minute and commend them for their excellent service, rates, and honesty. You generally assume you're being screwed somehow when it comes to most car repairs. Really nice to leave an auto shop with the exact opposite feeling. Keep up the great work!

That sad excuse for a repair shop wouldn't even look at the frame until I purchased a new bumper for them to put on... needless to say I'm not spending my money on anything unless I know the frame is repairable. I took my truck to Campbell River to No1 Autobody and they looked at it that day! Within 20 mins I had a repair appointment, a comparable loaner truck and a restored faith in humanity. No 1 treated me like a person and not a pay check, something lost on that other business. They had my truck fixed and ready to go in less time then they quoted me! Top notch service and I recommend the trip here even if you're from out of town.

I live on Gabriola Island, a short ferry ride away from Nanaimo. I have had 2 purchases from…read moreBudget Glass. First one was a glass shower stall, then most recently replacement windows in a cabin. For the first purchase, I was most impressed with their level of after-sale service-they came twice, and readily so, to adjust and tweak the strength of the magnetic close of the shower door. Remember, I live a ferry ride away. Then with the window purchase, Mike worked really hard to schedule Butch to come out to measure at as early a date as they could make it, then scheduled me very quickly after the windows arrived. Again, this is scheduling for an Island visit. Butch's measurement and assessment of the situation was careful and precise, so much so that when he and Derrick came to install, it was smooth and efficient. AND they cleaned up beautifully afterwards. Meanwhile, the office team of Melanie and Tasha were always helpful on the phone taking and confirming orders. I have experienced nothing but 100% customer satisfaction. THESE FOLKS TAKE CARE OF YOU, GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!
