Very unpleasant experience with them…

Very unpleasant experience with them where I sent my wife for a windscreen replacement and she didn't feel welcomed at all.
At the day of the service I received notification on the link saying zero outstanding balance and after the installation by 1 week they called to ask for a payment of 110£, where I just replaced my other car with same windscreen just for 60£ fees.

The best out of an unfortunate situation

The technician arrived with a broken windscreen, meaning that the car was not driveable for another day & was messing up with my plans. But, the technician was well mannered, helpful and tried to make the best out of an unfortunate situation. Customer service was good.

When the work was finished the manager…

When the work was finished the manager explained that I would need to avoid cleaning the car for 72 hours to give the sealant time to set which was fine . However on driving home I discovered that the inside of the screen was very dirty with numerous streaks. I had to clean the whole interior of the screen with a wash leather as they would not wipe away with a cloth. Quite disappointing.
