Extremely happy with my experience with Glass Finish. My wing mirror capping, glass and a chip in my side door was fixed and dealt with quickly. Very easy to speak to and sort a time and date out, replied quickly and customer service was number 1 priority. Thank you for sorting my vehicle out and being easy to deal with.

Absolutely fantastic service from Glass Finish. Had my A Pillar repaired from being hit by a brick on the motorway. Chris kept me up to date from start to finish and delivered my car back home to me because I am currently isolating. Hopefully I won't need their services again, but if I do I will be straight back and will recommend to friends and family too. Thank you :D

I cannot recommend this company enough. From start to finish our experience with them was wonderful. Not only was their work top-notch their attitude and customer service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely use Glass Finish Ltd again and have no hesitation in sending all my family and friends their way. Thank you Chris and your gang for bringing back our much loved Polo to it's former glory.
