So, before I go into the story, Auto Glass One was on time, fast, and low priced. And when I say on time, I arrived at 1:55PM for my 2PM appointment, and they took my car right in. As for fast, they were done by 2:10PM - vacuumed all the busted glass out of my car and put the window in. Super fast. And about those low prices - $199 for the window and installation. $50-$300 less than anyone else I called - AND same day service (I think you have to call before noon for that so they can get the parts). Absolutely outstanding. Plus, they gave me a bottle of water so I wouldn’t die in this Baltimore summer heat. Good people, great service, quality work, and low prices. I couldn’t ask for more.
Now, for the story and the photos… Imagine Baltimore and a late model Hyundai with out of state plates. Now mix in some idiots, and apparently that means I’m a drug dealer (seriously)? So some fine young fools decided to smash my window and tear up my car looking for the stash - because yeah, I would leave the goods in my car overnight if I was a dealer. Really?
I come out to my car, on a day calling for severe thunderstorms in the afternoon, and see glass everywhere. My hood is open, caps are off my tires. Passenger side window smashed to bits. Yeah. Not a great start to the day. Not even a little bit.
So I go home and try to clean the glass out of the car - but it’s just not happening. There’s literally a thousand tiny pieces of glass all over my car. The more I try to clean it, the greater my frustration.
I check online - window for $50-90 and it’s a week for it to arrive (because delivery services never lie 🤣). So that’s not happening. Anyway, I have no idea how to put a window back in a car. And back to the thousand little pieces of glass - I can’t clean that up.
Next I start calling people, and I get some $500 and three day prices. A few $300, one at $250 or so, and then I hit the jackpot. Auto Glass One tells me right away, same day fix, $199, and that’s it. Nothing else. I’m waiting for some extra charges, right? But nope. Straight talk, honest prices, and my window was fixed. The car was vacuumed, leaving no glass behind, and the shiny new window looks great. Of course, I can now see how dirty my other windows are. Have to do some cleaning. 🤪
Thanks again to Auto Glass One, and to anyone looking for a place to take your car - there is a reason these people have so many 5 star reviews. They deserve it. Also shout out to Dawn. She was so helpful in taking my order and making sure it happened today!
Also, don’t lock your car in Baltimore. Just leave it open so the city trash won’t break your windows.
