Autoglass agreed to do them in one call-out with only one excess charge (with genuine Volvo glass) even though they couldn’t understand how it could have happened as one incident - and neither could I - except possibly vandalism but one was a tiny corner chip, the other a crack down the middle - and the car had the Security Pack with all-round toughened, laminated glass...!

Coincidentally, my work colleague was having his windscreen replaced today by Autoglass. I asked them if they could provide a genuine Volvo screen and they said they could if I asked for it. He said they don't usually make a fuss if it is less than three years old.
I also asked about calibration of all of the sensors and he suggested they could do it by driving it down the road with a "box of tricks" plugged in. I think I'm happy to let Autoglass replace the screen, what's the feeling on getting them to calibrate rather than the dealer? |

We had an Avensis on hire and it needed a new screen. It had similar camera/radar kit to the Volvo. We took it to the local Autoglass depot and they fitted the screen but said that the car had to be taken to the nearest Autoglass depot which had the calibration equipment. We are in Scunthorpe and the car had to go to Derby depot for the calibration! I guess as with anything in life it just depends on which individual you get and how good they are and what equipment they have.

Autoglass was the same for me, he was excellent, even sorted out the rattle in the housing on the screen and told me why it was.
But the OP is concerned about the glass being fitted by AG, and as I said I got AG to fit an original screen, not there replacement screen Another reason I wanted an original is because of markings, when it came to selling the car if someone spots that the screen replaced they may assume that it was due to an accident etc. and use that to push price down or worse still not buy it. |
