Better View Auto Glass Service - Quick work by Better View Auto Glass - Windshield Installation & Repair Near Me - Oakland, California

The driver's side window of my father's Acura was broken into so we needed a repair. I knew we needed someone mobile, because he's a senior and I didn't want him going out during the COVID outbreak. He wanted to hire the mobile glass company he always sees on commercials, but I told him they're a rip off ($450!) and set out to get him quotes. I got several local quotes ranging from $180 to $275. I messaged BVAG on Yelp for a quote and Aldinn replied in less than 5 minutes. He wanted $225. They had a lot of great yelp reviews, so we called. When I called it was a pretty easy decision to go with BVAG because of the professionalism shown during our phone conversation. He came out within 2 hours after booking the appt. I also received a call and text msg "I'm on my way" and he actually arrived a little earlier than appt. time. The key to this awesome quality of work and service was Aldinn. It has been a very long time since I've seen quality work and service even come close to what I experienced from Aldinn. Very efficient and professional work and very well organized from start to finish. Excellent job on cleaning up broken glass, installing new window glass, removing and replacing door panel and leaving everything impressively clean. Good quality glass. Also, when talking with Aldinn and observing him work I got a very comforting feeling he knows what he's doing and is a professional doing it. Very pleasant and nice guy. Can't wait for someone to ask me "do you know a good glass guy" .... well "Yes I do" and that would be Aldinn at Better View Auto Glass. read more

I would highly recommend. Aldinn is communicative, friendly, thorough, and fast. He came to where I was, and I got this windshield replaced as I was helping my friend move. I'd totally call them again and this is the place I'd tell my friends about. read more

Amazing work, fast and kind. I'm so appreciative of how seamless this process was. Thank you so much!

Alden, I believe he said his name was, responded within an hour of my call. He listened well, was knowledgeable, very professional and his fee very fair. I didn't know we still had businesses that value the customer first. read more

Fast, courteous, clean and well-priced Couldn't ask for more

Fast and they come to you , very convenient . Friendly and fast service. Highly recommend you use them if you have a crack or broken window . read more

I just had my window fixed today, so chance this review is premature...but I called and was quoted $165, super fast service, friendly, vacuumed/cleaned out a LOT of glass (whole window smashed inside). Seems to be well fitted and working well. Best part, they came to me. read more

Everyone, these guys can defy Murphy's Law. Of course on a morning when I'm running late, I find the car windows shattered, and the engine dead. I was sure more surprises were lurking, but never could I have imagined that the rest would be good surprises. From the moment I called, I felt like I was in capable hands. They gave me a great price and scheduled me in right away. When Aldinn arrived, he took one look at my measly hand-sized vacuum and proceeded to pull out all the right tools for the job. Within 30mins he thoroughly cleaned up the glass, jumpstarted my car, and installed the windows. Meanwhile, all I managed to do was write this review. This team is fast, prepared, professional, and friendly. They exceeded my expectations in every way. read more

What a great guys! I called them about my Mitsubishi Galant 2001, back seat window broke by some strangers. They offered very cheap price and free delivery[mobile] service as well. I really appreciate of you guys, I believe your business will go really well. It just happened now, Love the service plus the friendly staff. Thanks a lot! read more

Visiting from out of town and had our car window broken, drive a Toyota Prius. The window was broken on a Sunday and we were pretty put out. Woke up early Monday morning had a reference for better view auto glass service and Aldinn picked up right away, scheduled us for an early appointment, was super accommodating and got the job done fast. Don't look any further this is your guy!! read more

I rarely post online reviews but can't resist giving a huge shout out and enthusiastic endorsement to Aldinn at Better View Auto Glass Service. When our car windows were smashed last month, I called around and was lucky enough to find Aldinn. He was very responsive, came the same day exactly when he said he would, clearly knew what he was doing, was pleasant and easy to work with, and did an all around great job. The only hitch was that for some reason the after market windows authorized by my insurance for some reason didn't work as expected, through no fault of Aldinn. But what I want to call out is what a consummate professional Aldinn was and how much he worked to advocate for me, bending over backwards in his communications with me, State Farm, and the glass distributor to resolve the issue, and ultimately with insurance approval replacing the after market windows with OEM. He was patient throughout the process and went above and beyond, fielding numerous calls from State Farm, picking up the new glass and installing it, and returning the old glass. I really felt like I had a trusted ally helping me and someone clearly on my side. In the end, with the OEM glass in place, I'm back to as good as new. Hopefully I won't be needing glass replacements again any time soon, but if I do, Aldinn's my man for sure! He does a great job and is a genuine pleasure to work with! read more

Super fast, very responsive via text, super professional, amazing at what they do. I've used them 2-3 times now (unfortunately, but that's not their fault), and will continue to do so. read more

I had a broken driver's side window on my van. Aldinn was able to schedule a same day appointment and arrived at the stated time. He is friendly and experienced with a calm demeanor. My window regulator was damaged with the break. He proactively called a van dealer for available parts. In the end, he took it home and was able to repair it. Now that's being helpful. I had a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend his services.. read more

1,000,000 Stars for them! This. place. is. awesome. Called them first thing this morning after my boss had a window shattered. Gave me an insanely reasonable quote, had the glass I needed in stock, WAS 15 MINUTES EARLY, and the job maybe took 25-30 minutes. I've added them to our business contacts just in case (knock on wood) this may happen again. Thanks guys read more

Awesome work, definitely the go to person for glass issues. Living in the Bay Area we all need a good glass guy, but the best glass guy is a number you don't lose. read more

Aldinn does it again. Professional, fast, swift and communicative. Thank you for being one of the things that always goes right in the world when something like a shattered window happens. read more

A night out in Oakland might leave you with a busted window. Better View was quick to fix my window, but the hefty price tag of $400 wasn't pleasant. I willingly paid for it since the smaller rear passenger window is usually expensive and is ordered from dealer with a wait time of (2-4 days) They readily had it available and fixed both the smaller and rear passenger windows at my friend's house. They arrived 40 mins after calling and cleaned the broken glass in the back seat and trunk. He also mentioned that leaving my back seats down in Oakland and the city could prevent break-ins. Wish I knew that bit of wisdom sooner. read more

Fabulous service! Within an hour of contacting them we had an appointment. He turned up a little early. And finished the window quickly.. He was able to save some of the decals on my window, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend these guys, prompt, friendly, great service! read more

My car got broken into last night and was referred by a friend to use better view auto glass service. Their pricing is competitive and I saved $200 compared to what my insurance quoted me! All other shops I requested quotes were similar in cost but couldn't install today plus they didn't offer mobile service. Super happy with the friendly service and finished in less than 10 mins in my work parking lot! Hopefully I won't have to use them in the future but in the event I do, I will def use then again. read more

Competitive rates. Friendly and professional. Showed up on time and did a great job repairing my smashed driver's side window. Would definitely recommend Alvin. read more

I've never had a window replaced so this was a new experience for me. With that, it was also an extremely pleasant one thanks to Better View Auto Glass service. I called on a late Saturday morning after picking up my car from the mechanic. The former crack had spread across the windshield and up making a y shape. Knowing it was highly dangerous to drive, I scoured Yelp to find a quick fix. They were to answer to give me an appointment for the next day. He came out to my place in Alameda within the given time frame and bippity boppity boo, the winds hiked was replaced. It took less than 45 minutes and the silver bullet looked new. For my 2001 Honda Accord, the cost was $175 which seemed reasonable to me. Both he and his assistant were professional and nice. I would definitely use this service again. read more

Levee is GREAT!! I would gladly and highly recommend him to anybody that needs their glass fixed. Here's my story: SOMEONE BROKE INTO MY CAR through the front passenger WINDOW in my 2007 Hyundai Sonata and stole...my user's manual? Gotta love Oaktown. So, on MLK Day I took my $166 cash and set out to fix my window. TWO SEPARATE HYUNDAI DEALERS quoted me $300 and $250, respectively, for parts and installation combined. And I'd have to PREPAY THEN WAIT two days for the window to arrive. The Pick-n-Pull in East Oakland didn't have my part, but would install it for $50 flat if I bring my own glass. THEN I called Levee at Better View Auto Glass. He had the part, was willing to come to me, at HALF THE PRICE, $155, and RIGHT NOW. SOLD! When he finished the job, I gave him $166 all the cash I had, but I would've tipped him at least $10 more if I had it. And when I asked him for a cigarette, he gave me TWO! That man gave me two. Good man. This is my first car, and I know very little about their individual parts. So I asked if he would explain everything as he was doing it. He answered all my questions and even explained it a second time if I didn't understand. And HE CHECKED HIS WORK, which just seems like the common sense thing to do. GREAT GUY! Levi has owned his company BVAG for about a year. Before that he worked for other car shop employers for 20 years! He was very polite and professional. My impressions were that he KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING and HE KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND CARS. Levee said he's been WORKING WITH CARS FOR 20 YEARS. 4:20 called Levee. Good news! He has the parts. 4:23 hung up with Levee. I started driving home 4:46 Levee is at my house with the part I need, and he proceeds to: -remove all the glass shards from my window frame and mounts, -vacuum all the shards from inside my door, -replace the glass, -check that my speakers, window motor, and regulator are working (he taught me what they were), -write up and give me a copy of a work order and his business card. -when I asked him to spare a cigarette, he gave me two. Thanks, Levee! 5:19 Levee drives away into the sunset. Well, read more

I highly recommend Levee (and his assistant) to anyone needing a windshield replaced. They came to my house on NYE - the day after I called to replace my Jeep Wrangler front windshield for a fraction of the cost the other companies quoted me. They were friendly, fast and professional. He also was incredibly nice and fixed a screw on my door that has been loose for ages. All at no extra charge! I highly recommend this company and will use them again when needed. read more

There are so many services for auto glass repair, who do you pick? I had two windshields that needed replacement and another with a rock chip. Better View's reviews consistently state that they provide great customer service. I can vouch for that after Aldinn came over to my place yesterday. He was just a good, considerate professional who performed efficient work without any hassles to me. Highly recommend. read more

I was driving down 880 and a big rig was nearby kicking up pebbles and one hits my windshield, but there was no chip or anything; so, needless to say I was relieved. Then a hour later there was a good sized crack, then a few more hours later it had doubled in size. I called Levee and asked him if he could get it done the same day, and he agreed. That alone is great service. He even called to let me know another part was needed and kept me updated on when he would be arriving. When you call a business for the first time you never know what kind of service you are going to get, but I would just like to echo everyone else and say that you will get great service, pricing, and quality workmanship from someone who is passionate about his work and raised here in Oakland. read more

Called in to get and estimate on fixing a chip on the front windshield for my Honda Pilot. Levee gave me a reasonable price and came to my residence to work on the car. Very professional and did a great job on fixing the problem. *Great pricing *Great service *And convenience! I would definitely recommend giving him a call with glass repair issues. read more

Fast and Reliable. Would recommend Better View to everyone.

They've now replaced 2 windows on my truck. Each time they were able to come out the next day and complete the repair in my driveway. Very competitive rates, and friendly, punctual, professional service. They even saved the stickers on my windshield! A+ company, would highly recommend. read more

After driving around for two weeks without a rear window, I finally called around for quotes. Levee, has the best price and he's mobile ( thumbs up). He came and took care of the window, while his father-in-law vacuumed up the remaining glass in the car. Very nice and professional. Same day service and I am very happy with the job done. Hopefully, this doesn't happen again (after all, this is Oakland), I'll be calling Levee Bun. Thank you Levee. read more

Excellent service. My car was rusty and he spent 2 hours to help me to tighten the edges and make sure everything is ok. He have done extra beyond what a normal glass repair does. Im very impressed that he got everything done by himself. Very hard working man. He even came to my house, so i dont have to drive around with my broken glass. I called for a quote and got the installation next day. I would recommend to anyone. Very professional and honest man. Best service ever. My mom said my glass is so pretty now read more

Perfect replacement of broken car window. Mobile service only. He is courteous, tidy, well-masked, and arrived within one hour of my call. I especially liked the care he took to make sure all the glass was vacuumed. 100% recommend. read more

My car was broken into on a Saturday night and my window was smashed and shattered. I requested a quote from Better View Auto Glass on Sunday morning, and Aldinn was super responsive, and booked me for the next day. Day of, they called to see if they could come earlier than our appointment time, which, to me, signaled a particular attention to the sense of urgency around this kind of repair, which I appreciated. The pricing was reasonable, the job was done quickly, and the quality of work was impeccable. Highly recommend! Thanks Aldinn! read more

Called a few places and cheapest and fastest service was this one! Thy were at my house within 30 minutes replacing my window! Vacuumed all the glass out. Super friendly and helpful in discussing insurance options! Thank you. My window was replaced few hours after car was broken in to. I'm not down any work time or difficulty! read more

I found his phone # on yelp and now after 4 months i decided to write a brief review. I had a window cracked by a large rock and it was a questionable replace - repair situation. Levee met with me at the local McDonald in the evening hours (same day i called him) and checked it out. He said its a quite a big star, but he will put extra glue and some clear patch. It took him about 20-25 min total and he said that cracks should not spread. So i give it few months to see, actually i wanted to wait for winter time, when the windshield is freezing (I live up in Sierras) and i turn on the heater to high. Its been about 4-5 months now and all I can see is the original dot. Really great job. read more

Levi is not only the coolest dude around, but his prices WILL be the best you can find. After making the rounds on International and calling a few places that I found on yelp, I called Levi up. I gave 'em the details. my car and what window and then he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. He didn't have the part in stock, but he was able to get it quickly and he offered to meet me wherever. Levi was quick, kept me informed, and the work was great! I was afraid that the defroster wouldn't work, but I was wrong and they totally work! Thank Levi! read more

I called many shops and was told "We don't do classics". I called up Levee he was there same day to change out my window seal on my 1964 econoline truck. He was professional, friendly, and fair priced. I would 100% recommend Stevie to anyone who needs glass work done. Rest in Paradise Levee. read more

Some jerk wanted to spread holiday cheer by breaking my window last night. Once I was done being furious and taping up the window, I eventually got back to sleep. First thing in the morning I called a half a dozen places and there were 4 companies within $7 of each others quotes. Then I called Better View and talked to the owner. They gave me the best deal by price matching the low bid and then they knocked off 10% for the tax. Plus, they came to my apartment early in the morning since they are mobile. These guys know their stuff and were on time and quick with the repair. They even helped vacuum what was left of the broken glass (which was all over the car). I would recommend them to anyone in the area. They were a lifesaver and half the price of the top end mobile glass companies. I hope I never need their services again, but if I do then they will definitely be the first folks I call. They should be on your short list when you need auto-glass as well. CHAD read more

Courteous, efficient, and professional. They beat all other prices when I was calling around to get a quote. Once I called they scheduled me in for the same day and called me when they were on their way. They arrived even before their slated appointment time, and when they arrived they told me when it would be ready but they finished much earlier. They vacuumed out the seat and even the trunk, which wasn't super easy to vacuum. No complaints. read more
