Safelite was great. Germain was super helpful, provided quick service and very responsive! He went above and beyond when we had one remaining item to fix on our windshield. He took the time to communicate with me and stopped by after work to help fix a problem. I would definitely use their service again! Thank you, Germain. read more

Driving to Chico for a Teams meeting and ended up catching a rock chip on my windshield. Funny enough, I had just replaced this windshield about a year ago, so my luck with windshields clearly continues. GEICO sent out Safelite mobile service (4238 Broadway, Oakland) , and Luis came out to help. Really stand up guy, professional, honest, and transparent throughout the process. He explained the repair, including the risks and what to expect, which helped me make a decision. The repair came out great and the whole experience was smooth and easy. Definitely happy with the outcome. read more

DO NOT USE OVER PROCED: I tried to get service here but I was meet with attitude from the " manager" when I asked for a receipt. This place is twice as much as other businesses. I found a place for half the price with kind employees that showed concern for not only my property but the fact that my window was broken. This place is overpriced and not worth rude " service" . Hey Manager people will want recipients for this service for insurance or Court reasons or just in general. read more

4238 Broadway Oakland, CA 94611 This Safelite location is fast, clean, and has great customer service. I was really impressed by the speed and efficiency of this shop. I made an appointment online, gave my info, and was quoted a price. Got a 10am appt on a Saturday. I arrived early on a rainy Saturday morning. Germaine, my Tech, came to greet me and said he would get started as soon as possible. They got the windshield replacement with recalibration done in slightly over 2 hours. Great job. Why did I choose Safelite? Well, AAA recommended Safelite. But also because back in 2020, I used a small shop in Alameda that had great Yelp reviews. They took over a month to fix my windshield. They said they couldn't get the right parts. So this time, I tried a major chain for auto glass repair. It was the right choice. It's a big shop with several techs working. The waiting area is spacious, with water and coffee available. The restroom is neat and clean. Non-stop Family Feud reruns on the TV and Free WiFi. I had a great experience at this Safelite shop in North Oakland and I would use them again. read more

I recently came here to get my windshield replaced after having a large crack in it. I showed up 10 minutes late to my appointment (which I know was on me). However, I didn't contact them as I assumed there is usually a 10 minute buffer period. I then proceeded to have to wait another 20 minutes before being helped and I was the only person in the waiting room. They fixed my car up relatively quickly which I was grateful for. However, once I began driving I could hear air coming into my car and could feel a draft. I got out of my car and realized that the windshield was completely off center which was causing the draft. I ended up going to another shop to get it fixed and immediately upon seeing it they told me the person who installed it did it terribly. This shop was extremely unprofessional from the initial waiting after already having an appointment, to completely installing my windshield incorrectly. Even looking at it you could tell it was messed up meaning they saw it and still allowed me to drive out of the shop with a messed up windshield. I went to another Safelite location since I wasn't able to get a refund and they did a pretty good job. I would say Safelite is still okay to get it done at just DO NOT GET IT AT THIS LOCATION! read more

Set up appointment, gave them insurance information and then I get a message that they've canceled my appointment! Really? Going elsewhere! read more

The appointment was scheduled for 1-5 PM, but the technician indicated he would arrive at 9:30 AM, when my car was not at the service location. I informed the technician that the appointment needed to be canceled, and he hung up on me. I then had to contact customer service to cancel the appointment. This was a complete waste of time and showed an inability to follow basic instructions. read more

Madi Safelite Auto chip repair is a SCAM! Do NOT acquire services from this shop, they will intentionally break your windshield in the process to force you buy a new windshield. Just happened to me. read more

They have every incentive to make your chip worse so that you have to do a bigger repair. I went in to repair a chip. They said it was a 1% chance that it will grow. Surprise - it did end up growing. I wanted a refund since this is what they guarantee. But its only applied as credit to repair the whole windshield with them. If its truly a low percentage chance that the chip will grow, why not offer a full refund? They benefit in doing a bad job which they did. This is why I can't trust them to fix the windshield. Never again. Stay away. read more

Awful. They don't respect your time. They tell you 2-3 hours, call you within that window and make you wait. Will tell you your car is having calibration issues. read more

One star might be generous. I booked a mobile install with these guys yesterday. I was given a 4-hr window where I had to be home so didn't go into my office and changed my schedule to accommodate. Not only did they never show up, I did not receive a call or text to let me know they were not showing up. As the window was closing, I'm the one who called to get a status and the store told me the installer was running behind. So I continued to wait, even beyond the install window, thinking they'd still show up (or call or text). This morning (next day), I called first thing and all they could tell me was that the technician noted that he called me but that I wasn't available or I didn't answer which is not true as evidenced by my call logs. Awful business and piss poor customer service. Plenty of other auto glass shops in Oakland who do better for less so I'm happily taking my business elsewhere. read more

I waited until the end of the time frame to get the car done (4h) but the guy called each time to tell when he was coming. I thought that I could get a AAA coupon as I am a member and I couldn't find a way to put it on the website when I registered but they refused to give it to me once the invoice was done. They use that to attract the customer but no way that you will get it. read more

Safelite AutoGlass - My vehicle after the wonderful service Respect - Auto Glass Services Near Me - Oakland, California

These guys were so nice, and did a perfect job on my windshield. It was an insurance replacement for two cracks. You never know how bad your old one is until you get a new one. One of the mechanics even offered to get me lunch off the nearby truck. So you know, I'm not poor, I'm not a girl, I'm a regular plain old, doing fine guy. So zero motivation other than being nice. I don't know how expensive it was because I have insurance for my windshield (probably covered under comprehensive, which I recommend). I've gone to other companies in the past who also did a good job, but this- wow. And it was a complicated windshield, it's not just glass replacement because these days they have to be calibrated because of all the technology in them. Nice waiting room too. Thank you, guys at Safelite. read more

had a 10am appointment to replace the windshield and waited 1 hour and then was told to wait 1 and 1/2 hrs more or they would send a mobile unit for the next day. They never showed up. I would never use them again. They never called or apologized for the bad service. read more

Never fun to need a windshield repair, but Safelite makes it easy. You can schedule a time to drop your car, and they'll schedule a time for pick up, so it works super easy They did a great job for me and gave me a couple money savings suggestions, which was a great surprise from any car service place. read more

I went to this Safelite location for warranty service to fix an issue created by the San Rafael Safelite location.

Great people, competent and watching out for their customers. read more

Safelite AutoGlass in Rocklin gave me outstanding service from the moment I pulled into the shop. My windshield had been cracked and replaced weeks earlier by a Safelite technician who came to my place of work in Roseville. He did an excellent job. The quality of the windshield and wipers gave me clear visibility on the road. The reason I went to Safelite Rocklin was because I noticed condensation inside and outside the windshield in the morning and evening when the temperature dropped. I worried that the seals were not tight enough and were causing air/condensation to seep in. I am embarrassed to say that I do not remember the names of the 3 men who assisted me when I arrived. First the Front Desk, then the one who actually removed the windshield, checked the seals, determined they were perfectly tight but was more than willing to replace the windshield, to which I said no (I think he was Mike), and lastly the young man who drove my car out of the service area to the parking lot so that I could leave (I want to say Ryan?). In any case, I would highly recommend Safelit AutoGlass Rocklin if your windshield is cracked due to highway driving and debris flying. This team of young people is polite, efficient, personable, attentive to the needs of the customer and do a darn good job. They have earned a positive review! read more

I was pushed here by my Insurance Company. They said they would call when they had my windcreen in. No call. 2.5 weeks later I call and they say they're not sure, and will call me back in 24 hours. Didnt happen. I call back 2 days later, they tell me their parts department can't find the item. I asked why did it take nearly 3 weeks, and they blamed the parts department. I said isn't this the same company, and she said it's a different company. Find a mom and pop shop that's well rated on Yelp. They are responsive over phone and email. They can get the OEM part (car was new) in in 2 days. Went over and they got it done in a couple of hours. read more

Juan rojas is the lead Texh making sure things in the shop get done and get done right. They had me in and out in 30 minutes and within my estimates window early morning. They also accept all insurance. read more

After our car window was smashed, AAA Insurance practices forced us to report it through Safelite. Safelite's quote came in at three times that of well-reviewed competitors. Naturally, we took our business elsewhere. Then, whether by incompetence, mistake or spite, Safelite advised us that our comprehensive coverage did not cover such a break-in. Super disappointing that AAA, once known for customer service, partners with this company. You have many alternative options. Use them. read more

Horrible quality material used for their windshields and their lifetime warranty is also a scam! I got replacement and 2 weeks later the safelight windshield had a small crack in it I assume an acorn or something may have fell on it but not sure. Safelight won't warranty the windshield if something may have fell on it. At this point if a small nut or leaf can crack it tells me the product is very poor and I am not safe with it on my car. Getting it replaced by a different company. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS UNSAFE PRODUCT. And takes forever trying to reach a live person. They don't even offer warranty in the phone prompts probably because they never cover warranties on their horrible windshields read more

THANK YOU Safelite for helping me while I'm down on my luck. My hunchback window was broken to in the darkness of night in Berkeley while I was having dinner. When I was referred to Safelite by AAA, I was so glad that the place was welcoming and helpful. They stated what to expect (that it'll still rattle with shards somewhere in the car), and still removed much of the glasses. I'm giving this place 4 stars, only because the waiting area is full of seats, but no table for people to do their work while they wait. The TV was on, but otherwise, there was no place to do some productive work. Thank you!!! read more

Safelite AutoGlass - Waiting area - Auto Glass Services Near Me - Oakland, California

We completed the booking on line and got severe reminders - all useful- about my upcoming appointment. I arrived early, because I tend to , and was professionally and warmly welcome by the front desk manager. The person who was going to do the repair came and checked it out with me and from there I had a choice of waiting in the AC /tv/ coffee/ bathroom waiting area or I could also just take a walked and would have been kept updated by text. Anyways I chose to wait which leads me to tell you that those guys work hard and are extremely professional. So why 4 and 5 star? Because the price I received the very morning of the repair compared to the booking price (all were inclusive of taxes) was higher $120. I believe that is more on a website thing than a local store issue so I did not take it with them and I will get my insurance to pay the excess. read more

Safelite AutoGlass - " view " from the waiting area. - Auto Glass Services Near Me - Oakland, California

I am beyond frustrated with the lack of customer service and attention to my faulty windshield that Safelite installed last November. I repeatedly called customer service, spent hours on the phone only to be directed back to the same assistant manager who continued to insist that Safelite had done a good job despite the fact that my early crash warning system no longer functioned after the windshield replacement. I asked twice to speak with the district manager and was told he would call me back and I am still waiting months later to hear from him. I had my windshield replaced at Safelite Oakland in November. I was concerned about having Safelite do the work rather than the dealer because of the early crash warning system contained within the glass, but I was assured it would be calibrated to dealer standards. When Safelite replace the windshield it seemed fine but days later I realized on the freeway that the early crash warning system did not make the usual warning sound nor light up unless I almost touched the car in front of me. I returned to Safelite and they recalibrated the camera in the windshield. But when I left I discovered that it still did not work. Safelite then told me to come down right away to have someone drive with me to see the problem. When I got there no one was available to drive with me. When I complained that they had just told me to come down they then scheduled me to have the whole windshield replaced a few days later. When I returned for the scheduled appointment, the assistant manager told me they were not going to do anything on my car because nothing was wrong with it and it had passed all their tests. They did not bother to call me the day before to cancel the 8 am appointment, nor did they want to ride in the car to see how it wasn't working, nor did they take my word for it. I then took the car to the dealer to see if they could fix the problem. Within two hours they fixed the crash warning system and I was charged $285. I requested reimbursement from Safelite and provided them receipts but the assistant manager refused, saying they did nothing wrong as if I was making it all up because I had nothing better to do with my time or money. I will never go to Safelite again under any circumstances. Though the mechanics were courteous the management was rude an unreasonable. Please steer clear of this establishment. read more

I used Safelite to repair my glass that became cracked. My appointment was set up with my insurance GEICO and the company immediately reached out to me. The Oakland location gave me a timeframe for when they'll come to my home to make the repair. On the day scheduled the technician Thomas called first thing in the morning to let me know exactly what time he would be coming and throughout the day he kept me posted on the time, if he would be running a little bit late or coming early. When he arrived, he was very professional, in uniform, very courteous, very personable and very nice to my dog and let me know that the replacement will take about an hour and then he'll have to drive the car to recalibrate it. The entire process was smooth throughout. I inputted my payment information(deductible) through the system so once he was done, it was already there. Thomas emailed my receipt, gave follow up instructions as far as when I will be able to drive or take the car to be detailed, and the warranty information for any follow up issues. We chatted and that was it. I definitely... well hopefully I won't need to anymore but if I do or if I know someone who does, definitely will recommend this location, thanks Thomas. read more

Yes, we've all seen the commercials on local news; the Safelite autoboys and footage of the Golden Gate and Chinatown--it couldn't be a great service right? Well, in my experience it was really great not to mention convenient. After years of dodging rocks and debris along the 880 and i5 hell-zones (see my 2016 review of the 880), my precious Volvo finally got a chip. I was panicking a bit because repairs on volvos can get very pricey and I also have semi-autonomous driving features which I was worried would require a recalibration, so I quickly calmed myself by first trying a chip-repair with safelite instead of going to volvo dealerships. I made the appointment online and from that point on got text alerts and good communication--the price was fair (about 180 for them coming to me and fixing it). Throughout the process, I appreciated the invoices and how it was all arranged. On the day of the appointment, which was within a day or two of when I wanted it, Oziel came over in my garage with the kit to attempt the fix. Now, I'm not going to lie, there's a chance of the window cracking and getting worse with chip repair--this is because they apply pressure, vacuum, etc. to your window. So, after signing the disclosure and release, I went for it. Took about 10 minutes or less. Needless to say, the chip was essentially fixed and it has not gotten worse over about 5,000 miles of various driving. I was impressed and would recommend this service. Some things to keep in mind: Fix your chip ASAP from when it happened--for me, I only drove about 15 min after the rock hit me. Also, be aware that in many cases the crack may get worse and you will have to eventually have it replaced. I attached a few photos of my chip with a bottle cap for size reference. read more

Yesterday while I was at work in jack london, I was a victim of a useless window bashing..resulting in my back window being smashed out, and they damaged my car as well as others for no reason, "Joy bashing" maybe it's a new trend?!? - using stolen plates to bash in the jack london during area work hours. - well My insurance sent me to Safelite and let me tell you... Alvaro- is one of the best technicians and a person whom loves his job day in and out, makes you forget about the bashed glass and look forward to the repair. He is a lead technician, he speaks the truth, his team listens and also the repair was done in less time then quoted. Drop off you're car and go to Mamas royal or Brenda's for breakfast and take sometime to de-stress from the window bashing! Both of the restaurants serve Mr. Espresso, so the coffee is fiyah! Thanks again Alvaro, you're a Gem! read more

Safelite has been great for me. I used them to repair the windshield on one of our cars and they worked quickly and got it done even with the appointment at 5 pm (I expected I was going to have to leave the car overnight). Then several months later, I came back for a warranty appointment because of some water leaking. It turned out to not be the windshield, but the techs went above and beyond to find the real cause and clean out the sunroof ducts. Appreciate the quality work and extra effort! read more

DO NOT GO HERE -- Safelite scheduled my appointment 1.5 weeks out from the day my window was broken because they said they needed time to order the glass. The evening before my appointment, I received the attached email saying they didn't have the part locally and needed to order it. I guess they weren't able to figure out how to place an order in 1.5 weeks. The email also says the appt is for a CX-90, which is the incorrect vehicle model. I corrected an employee over the phone by telling them the correct vehicle, but this was clearly not translated. Very unprofessional and disorganized business. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service I have experienced in a decade from a company. The only reason I have rated 1 star and. It zero is because the lady who took my information down initially was nice and helpful. Aside from that both the assistants in Florida, poor communication and last minute cancellation is completely unacceptable for such a large company. Whoever I spoke to from Florida, you don't need to be in customer service as a job. Your lack of patience, or willingness to assist the situation was completely defeating. Hopefully people can utilize their cars company service departments because I would never recommend Safe Lite read more
