Windscreen replacement

[beachBOYken]

Hi

I have an appointment booked with Autoglass for a replacement windscreen, there is an option to pay now or pay later, I went with the pay later option, it seems I can pay the excess at any time online. Does anyone know if you can pay the Autoglass technician on the day of appointment?

Don't fancy paying £95 before hand, in case they fail to turn up. Just after some advice from anyone who has used Autoglass.


Thanks

I used them a while back, always pay later - it gives far more of a bargaining point in the event of any issues.

Thanks, I just chatted to someone and I can pay the technician on the day of appointment. Do you also mean I can pay at an even later date after the windscreen is replaced?

I have used them before but I have always gone to an Autoglass garage, this is my 3rd windscreen on this car, I must be unlucky!

they will just have a card reader with them.

Do they actually reveal the brand of windscreen they will install ? ... are there chinese ingravings on any screens now

last time I searched & payed 'only' ~£120 to smaller company for a genuine pilkington oem part, broke it myself when arm clicked back changing blade -
but I guess some screens athermic/heated are much more expensive

Not sure, but I have always found the windscreens to be of high quality.

Has windscreen excess cover gone up recently, I to seem remember it being £75, now its £95, maybe just my car insurer.
