Safelite Auto Glass Ripoff, My front wind shield was replace by to ex-convicts who should be doing something else... like parking cars or not fixing windshields. Baltimore Maryland

I HAD MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED ON MY 1978 FORD PICKUP ON 06/09/09 AND EVERYTHING WENT GREAT.JIM AND HIS CREW WENT TO THE BODY SHOP WHERE MY TRUCK JUST COMPLETED A TOTAL RESTORATION.PAINT JOB AND ALL WERE BRAND NEW.THEY INSTALLED THE WS AND NEW RUBBER GASKET VERY CAREFUL AND MINDFULL OF THE FRESH PAINT.ALOT OF OTHER SHOPS DIDNT WANT TO TOUCH IT BECAUSE THERE TECKS WERE NOT EXPERIENCED IN THIS OLD TECK JOB.THEY HAD TO USE THE OLD ROPE PULL METHOD TO REPLACE THS WS. AND THEY WERE VERY CAREFULL OF THE NEW PAINT AND CAREFULLY SEATED IT SO IT WOULD NOT LEAK. I WAS EVER SO PLEASED.

First I have to agree how do you know they are x-convicts? Second in the future keep an eye out.

I have a classic Pontiac and although I do most of my own work there has been a couple of times that I have had to have the work done by someone else. When I had the car painted it took 3 months and everyday after work I went by the shop to make sure things were being done properly. If I thought something looked wrong I brought it to the owners attention and it was taken care of.

That was a big ticket item and is to be expected that the customer will be checking in. But even on the oil changes, brake jobs, tune up, glass repair etc..., always do your best to stay while the work is being done and keep your eyes open. Even if you know nothing about auto repair the mechanic doesn't know that but by watching thru a garage door opening or a pain of glass they will know you are watching.

If you see something that looks wrong wheather it's damage or abuse to your car tell the manager right away, if they are not there tell the mechanic to stop working on you car until the manager returns.

Eyes wide open at all times.

Must be an ex-convict. How do you know they were ex-convicts? HUH? Can you post their records here then please?

And before you mention that I must be the girl-friend of one of them, I have never been there and I am happily married to a guy who would not buy a mustang under any circumstances, and teases me because my dream car is a 68 mustang. (He only buys Foreign cars.)

I just hard it hard to believe that they were ex-convicts because they had never worked on a mustang before.

I recently had some stereo work done on my car after a theft. My insurance sent me to one of their choices, the work was shotty and caused a fire. The insurance stated they back whomever they recommend 100%. In the end the insurance paid for all damage, waived my deductible (on the original job), and authorized all upgraded equipment. Plus gave me the my choice of installer. Good luck with your debacle, Geico should back all work done!
