My car window was smashed by a petty thief while in a secured garage, I was so upset and AGS really came through with making sure it was repaired quickly. They did a fantastic job on the repair and clean up, and the customer service rep was so kind and understanding. I hope this never happens to me again but if it does at least I know who to call! Thank you AGS :

Called because they were near my workplace and needed a new windshield ASAP due to rain being forecasted. Phone call response was rather quick, quote was immediate and the mobile service was within an hour or 2 after the call was made. Cheaper than safelite and the job was done the same day i called for the service Service:Auto windshield replacement

Professional and polite service. They were flexible with appointment time. Work was done quickly and they were able to fix a deep chip in my windshield. Some other auto glass shops kept trying to convince me to replace the windshield since my insurance would cover it. I didn't appreciate that upsale. Auto Glass Specialists were a lot more honest and they do work with insurance companies in case if you do have that coverage.

Being a single working mom, my time is very limited. The auto glass specialist came to my work and took care of everything for me. I wanted to cried because I felt so cared for and they made the whole purpose simple and quick. Great job!

These guys have helped me twice. Once when a rock hit my window and again when my car was broken into. They came to me at work so I didn't have to take time off. Excellent service! I highly recommend them. They also helped me with the insurance by contacting them so I didn't have to so it was painless. 5 stars!

Tom and his team went above and beyond to make sure my windshield was properly replaced. They went out of their way to find the right piece of glass that would look best on my Mercedes. They explained the process in detail and answered all my questions with competence. Their friendly and professional customer service exceeds their competitors. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else!

My moms windshield cracked and was leaking really bad from the previous company that installed her windshield. I contacted Auto Glass Specialist as I was referred to them from Jimmy Johnson Chevrolet. First of all, Marissa the girl who answered the phone was so professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful! After talking to her, regardless of price I knew I would use this company. Their price was very competitive and knowing a large dealership referred me, I would have no problem. They came the next day, the installer was amazing. He was on time, let me know when he was on way and got it done quickly. Will definitely use this company again! A from beginning to end.

We have used Auto Glass Specialists (AGS) many times over the last 20 years. We keep returning because we always receive friendly, prompt, thorough & courteous service from Tom & his team. Every. Single. Time! They are so awesome, they even coordinate with our auto insurance & come to us! Our experiences with AGS include windshields, side windows that wouldn't roll up/down & an automatic sunroof that took a large rock through it while driving down the freeway! Don't go anywhere else. Get great service at AGS!

I need more stars! Moms windshield was completely shattered. My insurance company tried to get us a replacement with a large well known company whose name I will not speak. There were issues tracking one down due to the age of the vehicle but I was assured it would arrive and be installed on a certain day. After almost a week and broken promises (told they couldn't find the windshield in stock anywhere), I was finally referred to AGS and I am so thankful!
Low and behold they had the windshield for a 16 year old vehicle IN STOCK and were able to take care of us so quickly and for less than my deductible. I dont usually do reviews but Marisa was so helpful and patient with me (needless to say I was stressed to say the least) and Forrest took great care of my moms truck. Thank you!

My son borrowed my car to drive to AZ. When he was driving out there a rock hit the windshield and due to the heat it cracked up about 1/3 up the windshield. I called my insurance first thing Monday morning and tried Safelite first. 1st available appt was 10 days out! Are you kidding me? The crack is right in the field of my vision! So I called my insurance back and they called Auto Glass Specialist the gentleman asked if he could call me back to see if he had my windshield in stock.
He called me back about 15 minutes later and said that they could come this afternoon to replace my windshield! This afternoon? Awesome! Pedro called me when he was 10 minutes away and I met him at my car. He told me he would call me when he was done. It took about 20 minutes and he was done! Yay! My windshield is fixed! No fuss no muss! I highly recommend Auto Glass Specialist!

I have been using Auto Glass Specialists for years (have replaced at least 3 windshields and a back window.) It's unbelievable how accommodating and quick they are, not to mention well-priced. I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else - this is a place you can trust! They work with your insurance company and take care of everything (have even come out and done work on site when I couldn't get there, )
