Safelite puts a new window in our 2016 Subaru Forester

UPDATE: Let me say I asked this man's permission before I started to record him if it was ok and he said sure and ask as many questions as you like but please tag Safelite. I said no problem. This man was very polite n helpful to me. So please stop the hateful comments, I am fwding them all to YOU TUBE SO BEWARE and YOU WILL BE BLOCKED AFTERWORDS. Thank you
Our new Subaru Forester had to get a new windshield. We got the car from Carmax and they paid for our window to be fixed. I will say Carmax and Safelite are really great. Carmax really does stand by their cars.

how’s the job man? Tomorrow is my first day of training. I’m hearing mixed reviews about the company. I’d appreciate a reply!

[@THENAILDIVA2015]

@JupiterLXIX congrats and good luck, just try and stay positive n give it your best. That's all u can really do.

[@DIRTCONVERT]

Relatively impressed with this replacement. A few things that need attention but overall probably one of the better Safelite installations. Keep in mind, a good installation doesn't mean it didn't leak. The only real way to know is in an accident where the installation is tested. I regularly fix ALOT of Safelite mistakes.

[@THENAILDIVA2015]

He did a good job but he did put the wrong window in. They fixed the problem but we didn't know till 8 months later when one of my subscribers told me about it. Very thankful for that subscriber.

Does anybody know if there’s a high demand for auto glass technicians?

[@Tomarsnback.]

Doesn't matter if you drive a gas or electric. Windshields are going to break the same... If cars are on the road they will need repairs.

[@hoodrat1ful]

Super high!

[@robert-tm3qz]

If a crack is maybe 9 inches long can it be repaired instead of replaced? I got tint on my windshield and don't wanna pay another 200 to get it again

[@opsHPC]

No it can’t be repaired, as the resin (glue) that fills the crack can only fill a certain length which is around 5cm. Replacement is the only option you have.

[@belindachevalier4053]

1st and foremost I want to thank you for taking this video. I can tell your technician was very thorough, which is something I really like. As a consumer I wish I would have videotaped my technician. I just had my windshield replaced on my 2014 Chevy Malibu. Oddly enough he did not do the steps your technician did. My car hood and seats were never covered with any protective covering as was in your video. The step your technician took putting a molding around the windshield prior to putting it on the car, my technician did not do. My technician lifted the glass onto my car, never using the brace your technician used to assist in his lift. Also did not clean the track as thoroughly as yours did. There was obvious dirt and debris. He just scraped not cleaning any further. I also noticed my technician used something like a big scraper to get my glass off my car. When he was completed I noticed that the corner driver side top of the window there was a part that I could see through the glass that was not apparent on the passenger side. Needless to say I will be calling Safelite to inquire further about their protocol and steps. Hopefully others will watch this video prior to their appointment my suggestion to all videotape them, they seem to be more thorough when you do so. Again thank you for your video! 👍

[@THENAILDIVA2015]

Your are very welcome. I'm glad I could help. I hope ur able to get everything fixed.

[@Alex-tc2vp]

Glad you had a good technician and a good experience, but this comment is only about the company not employees, but do people realize how ridiculously expensive it is to use them? Safelite is usually first place that pops into people minds if they don’t know anyone, but trust me people call anyone but them & save you some money for the same window/windshield. My buddy has owned his own glass company 15 years now & within the last year he decided to give me a job & i swear every week I hear, “glad I called you guys because safelite wanted way more money to do it” I know what prices we get the glass for & I would honestly feel like a criminal charging people what they charge for a windshield or any side glass. Generally speaking they’re always at least 100-200 and even more sometimes, and you can support us small businesses instead of these big corporations who literally F you cause they know they can

[@DetroitNerd]

That's because the techs are thoroughly trained and certified... They actually do the job the safe and correct way which is usually NOT the case with the mom and pop places.

[@Alex-tc2vp]

@@DetroitNerd are you sure you know what you’re talking about? They rape people daily on prices & trust me I would know I do this about 5-6 days a week. You’ll always have the ones who do it right & who do it wrong and cut corners, but I know mine and my bosses work is always good. I’ll quote my boss when talking to customers about safelite, “ I wouldn’t let them work on my bicycle” 😂

[@jamesgoin2726]

Safelite installed the wrong glass in your car. One of the common features on Subarus is the heated wiper park area, and you were just robbed of it. Very sad work from Safelite, trying to slide a quick one by on a customer. This is why you should always use local shops with a good reputation. They survive on real reviews and honest work, and will go the extra mile to make sure your car is perfect. P.s. majority of safelite technicians are undertrained and overworked. Skilled technicians leave and go to better local companies, only to be replaced by a 2 week class room trained technician…

[@THENAILDIVA2015]

That is all true, but I will say safelite stood by their work and immediately fixed the problem and gave us the right windshield.

So I'm not talking bad about his work it looks like he knows what his doing But I did notice that he installed the wrong windshield on your car when i say wrong windshield i mean that your original windshield has the heated wiper park area and the Windshield he installed doesn't have that heated wiper area You can see that when he takes the cowl off you can see the heater plug connected on the bottom center of the windshield and if you look at the new Windshield there's no cable or wire for the Windshield wiper heater I've been in the auto glass business for over 20 years now and I've see this alot wrong Windshields on cars.
