Very welcoming gentleman, my car was taken straight into the workshop. We were told the replacement could take up to 4 hours depending on the car's computer and how the sensors reacted to the new wind... See more

A difficult rating tbh

A difficult rating tbh, and needs to split into parts, the first part being the service I received when I eventually had the work completed, which was with respect and quality workmanship, however I had the unfortunate issue of having to wait well over a month after the first windscreen was broken before I arrived at the centre some hour away from my home and I was only informed on arrival, I then returned home dissatisfied after being told it would be sorted, unfortunately the earliest appointment was over two weeks away, I rang customer services to be told the fitting centre would contact me to try and get an earlier appointment, no call was ever received, I had to then book my new appointment which was much later.
I expressly asked that I received an oem part which I did not and was told that the insurance company insisted on a cheaper screen!
So when I got my replacement part it was a long time after the initial crack in my screen appeared and this was wholly the responsibility of national windscreens , the repair I believe was done well and the fitter was courteous and helpful , but the experience I had was very much below par.
I will definitely never use this firm again and would pay extra if necessary to avoid them.
Very unfortunate tbh
But thanks to the fitter for his attitude or this would be a much worse review

We are very sorry to hear about the significant delays and miscommunications you experienced with your windscreen replacement. We understand your frustration regarding the wait time, the information received upon arrival, and the issue with the OEM part. We appreciate your feedback and will review these points internally to improve our service.

Thought it was excellent service at Carlisle but one week on I'm wondering if it actually was....

UPDATE - my husband has just pointed out what appears to be damage to the inside of the windscreen in the centre (damage/something on the glass). We are now worried that the windscreen will be compromised as a result of it. Was is damaged when it was being put in???? Must have been because of where it it. Happy to send a picture.

took my BMW X1 to National Windscreens at Carlisle via my insurer, LV. The service I received was excellent. They did a good job at fitting the windscreen and were relatively quick in doing so, and they were great with their communication too. The only issue I've had is with the sticky pads they've used to put my dashcam back on. They held for 6 days only but with the hot weather today, the camera is already dropping off. They need to use pads that resist extreme heat and vibrations. If you have a dashcam, please can I suggest you check with the fitters they are using pads that will keep the camera in place ! If they had with mine they would have received a 5* instead of a 4*. Such a shame.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent windscreen replacement. We are pleased to hear that our team provided excellent service, completing the job efficiently and communicating effectively. We sincerely regret that the dashcam adhesive did not hold up as expected, especially with the recent warm weather. Your suggestion about using more heat-resistant pads is valuable, and we will certainly take this into consideration as we continuously strive to improve our service and materials. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
