Best Price Auto Glass

Same thoughts as the previous reviews, esp. Steve H’s review: «Fast and efficient, no nonsense windshield replacement. Workmanship appeared top notch. Charged exactly what was quoted on the phone.»
The guy who helped me seemed friendly and I couldn’t have asked for better. Definitely recommended!

Fast and efficient, no nonsense windshield replacement. Workmanship appeared top notch. Charged exactly what was quoted on the phone. My experience was in-​and-​out, while-​you-​wait service, thanks!

Fast, quality service, and most importantly, they use quality glass. PGW is decent for the price.
Best price for a windshield replacement BY FAR! Highly recommended.

you will definitely get the best price here. The verdict is still out on quality and longevity of the windshield I got, because I just got it 2 days ago and haven’t even pulled the blue tape off yet. But you probably won’t beat the price. The location is a bit iffy, as a woman you may not want to stop by all dolled up in a mini skirt and I can’t say that the guys seemed excited about a new customer (my bet is the gentleman hasn’t cracked a smile in 10 years) but they were friendly enough, got me in right away, took about the time they said it would take (40 minutes) and it seems like its a good window.

Gary and team are service oriented, helpful, and stand behind their work. The other reviews say it all. Minimalist workshop a bit off the beaten path, but the savings are well worth it. Amazing what the national brands charge compared to this local operation. Highly recommended. Thanks, Gary!

A rock hit my windshield, leaving a crack which doubled in size to well over a foot long over a couple days. I knew I needed a new windshield ASAP. Driving a BMW Z4 convertible, I knew it wasn’t going to be cheap. A friend of mine was quoted over $ 350 at several places for a new windshield on a Civic, and a place in downtown SB quoted me $ 400 for my BMW since they require special moldings. The guys here at Best Price ordered the special molding and a few days later had the new windshield installed in about an hour. $ 308 including tax when all was said and done. I researched the brand of glass they used for my replacement, Pilkington, which is supposedly a high quality auto glass that comes standard on Jaguars. They operate out of a minimalist office next to an old junkyard off S Kellogg near the 217, but are obviously experts at what they do. I highly recommend them, they live up to their name and provide quick and easy service!

I couldn’t be happier. Great service, great price. I feel like won something by the savings. They even fixed a couple things during the replacement. Nice guys. Give them a shot.

Got a crack from something hitting my windshield n the freeway. I called in to see if they can replace my windshield. Guy on the phone was straight and to the point. They had the parts and replaced my windshield when I drove in. Took less than an hour and a decent price.

The name says it all, cheaper than those shops where they have to pay a lot for their rent. Gary, the owner/​installer, is easy to talk to. They installed a new windshield in less than an hour. Highly recommended!

Best deal you’ll find on a windshield repair in Santa Barbara. I really like the owners. They’re very helpful, friendly, and easy to deal with. The repair took less than an hour. This was my third time doing business with them, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I drove over to ask about replacing a back sliding window on my truck. He had the parts needed and had it installed about 30 minutes after I arrived. Very quick, courteous, and professional and much less than I expected to pay. I definitely recommend.

The guy who handled our broken back driver side window was amazing. Gave us a quote over the phone. Drove there and he fixed it in 40 minutes for the price he said and was going to give. Was very professional and friendly. I would recommend to anyone and would go back.

I’ve had two great experiences at Best Price Auto Glass over the past couple of years. Both times I’ve had my front windshield replaced quickly and at a good price.

I called around and got some quotes and these guys came in the lowest. They explained that the glass was not in stock and that they could have it in a day.
I went for the deal, took the morning off and drove the truck out to Goleta. The guy looks at it and says that he made a mistake and that the glass he ordered was not correct. This was after two phone calls and him assuring me that the job could be done at the price quoted. All of a sudden the original $ 125 quote turns into $ 300. This guy would not work with me at all as far as price goes and he was not a pleasant person. He says that he shouldn’t have to pay for my time and then starts speaking his native tongue with his staff while ignoring me. That was the topper.
Waste of time, money and this guy could care less.
Avoid.

My experience with this competitively priced, family-​owned business went from great to unsatisfactory.
The technician used a clever trick to fix my driver’s side window and had it working after 15 minutes. Fast service + great price = happy customer.
A week later, the whole window regulator broke. I know it was due to the bit of machining the tech did on the regulator. Well, sometimes you get what you pay for, and I did not pay for dealership-​level work.
I took the car back and explained what happened. When they couldn’t find a replacement regulator that morning, they said I should expect a call from them in a couple days. They didn’t call. When I called them, they were «still looking.» Three days and several phone calls later, they suggested I buy the part on the internet and bring it in with the car.
This surprised me, because I thought that’s what THEY would do. However, because 1) these guys made such a good first impression, 2) their labor broke the regulator, and 3) they are very affordable, I ordered the part. I wanted to give them a chance to win me back with at LEAST a discount on the labor.
They charged me full price. I didn’t get a «thank you for your business» or any such pleasantry. The grand finale: My battery was dead when I went out to drive it away.
Bottom line: Sometimes a corporate customer service policy is worth the extra cost.

This is by far the best place to go for auto glass replacement. I got a quote from them and it was $ 215 less than another place’s quote. In actuality it was 10 bucks cheaper than the quote even was. They are quick, efficient, courteous, friendly, and damn good at what they do. Definitely the place to go. :) highly recommended.

Gary the owner is a GEM! They were able to replace my 2007 toyota prius windshield for under 200 $ and came to my house with their mobile service and had the entire switch from broken glass to new glass completed within my lunch hour. I think it took them (2 guys) 30 min max. The windshield was the EXACT one that my prius came with, tint and all. So happy I highly recommend!

A few of my friends recommended this place, said it was the cheapest in town and they were right! I paid 170 and they did a great job and were quick. Other places quoted me 450 and 240 for my front window replacement. Yes it looks a little scary but don’t judge! Highly recommend

Not sure how they manage to make their windshields so cheap, but they do. The part numbers match OEM replacement parts, meaning the actual glass appears to be decent. My only suggestion is to apply wax on the glass immediately after installation, because for whatever reason, their supplier doesn’t put an extra coating on – if you don’t, it ends up picking up dust and dirt easily, and if you park outside, the dew makes the visibility poor. I used regular rainex, but I’m sure any wax designed for auto glass will work fine.

Gary seems to be the owner, and a few workers bike or drive in at 8am. A pretty woman and someone’s (probably her) mom makes Argentinian matte tea even though they’re lebanese. The rate is half of what any nearby competitors charge, Gary drove me to the bus stop, and he let me keep the tercel there a week while I was out of town. 130 for a new drivers window, installed. Would have been 60 if he’d had a used one in stock, but my car is old– a ’95.
