Same Day Windshields is a completely misleading name and a flat out lie from my experience and. Same day, how about I scheduled earlier this week for Saturday. Today is Saturday and I set aside a 5 hour window of time only to be called by the installer with the news that the seal was not ordered. At least it's before 9am so my day was not completely ruined sitting and waiting for the call. Then I get a call from dispatch to reschedule my appointment saying that the seal was ordered but was not inspected upon receipt and was only inspected today. Seems like the installer and dispatcher need to get their stories straight. Still, it's early in the morning on Saturday and SAME DAY Windshields can't pull their mistake together to get my windshield repaired today, so I get to wait until next Saturday driving with a badly cracked windshield because as I stated at the beginning of this review, 'same day" was absolutely not my experience. More like Same MONTH Windshields.
The plot continues to thicken. I make arrangements to borrow a vehicle to drive so that our windshield can now be replaced on Monday. I call Same Day Windshield and explain they failed their appointment today and I was rescheduled for next Saturday but wanted to change to Monday. The CSR couldn't understand me and kept mentioning same day repair, so I asked to speak with a member of leadership. I was transferred to such a person who told me yet another lie as to what happened with the failed appointment today and then stated that they depend on warehouses that cannot stock every windshield. I asked if I called on a weekday, if they can order in a windshield from the warehouse same day and she said no they could not. So, there you go... A full admission that they cannot usually offer same day service, even though their name is Same Day Windshields. I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone and can recommend that you look elsewhere for a company that at least had a shred of honesty. Despicable!
I did call the operations manager per the response by the owner to this review. Although it was too late to fix any of the issues reported above, she did apologize, promise to investigate and retrain and expedited my $100 rebate.
Unfortunately, a couple weeks after my windshield was replaced we walked out to the car and there was a crack going form the edge to 1/4 way across the window. I know nothing struck the window since I am the only one who drives it. I called for warranty repair and was quickly told their lifetime warranty does not include glass! Ridiculous right? I reach out to the ops manager again before seeking 3rd party assistance. Again, I found out that front-line staff are saying one thing when company policy is supposedly another. I do get the feeling this place operates like insurance companies and tries to get away with whatever they can to help their bottom line. The ops manager did state that most of the time windshields are cracked from damage and not a defect, but that they can easily tell and defects are, in fact, covered. She did offer proactively to order replacement glass and schedule the inspection/replacement. I also ended up e-mailing photos as she said it's pretty obvious to spot damage vs defect and this would help with the determination.
My bottom line when dealing with this business. Take screen captures of anything you see online, takes notes during your calls and do not take the word of their front-line staff as they have mislead me every single step of the way. The only person that has been honest with me at this company is the operations manager, who I'm guessing does not often take customer calls. Best of luck in your dealings! read more
