I am a novice motorist, and from my own experience I had to deal with such an unpleasant situation as replacing the windshield on my favorite Peugeot car. This process has become a real challenge for me, so I decided to share my experience and knowledge. I hope my review will help other drivers, especially those who are just starting out in the world of car mechanics and car maintenance.
When I ran into a problem
My story started to develop quite ordinarily. One day, returning from work, I heard a loud crash. At the traffic light, when I stopped, I noticed a crack on the windshield. It appeared, probably, because of a stone that flew out from under the wheels of a passing car. At that moment, I felt a slight shock — I didn't want to believe that such a thing had happened to my car. After that, I started collecting information on how to solve this problem.
Search for information and stores
The first thing I did was decide to study the question: how can I replace the windshield and what will it take? I turned to the Internet, where I posted requests on forums and blogs, trying to find recommendations and advice from those who had already encountered a similar situation.
I found out (which, by the way, was news to me) that the windshield can be replaced in a specialized service or you can try to do it yourself. However, it is worth noting that changing the glass yourself is not a task for a novice motorist. The issues of security and proper installation have become for me the main argument in favor of professionals.
The next day, I started looking for workshops that replace windshields. I called a few, studied the reviews on the Internet, and was interested in prices and conditions. I felt a little lost, but gradually I realized that I had to choose the right service based on the information I received from other drivers.
Choosing a car service
After careful searching and much thought, I decided on one of the most popular car service stations in my city. As a beginner, I carefully studied their website, read reviews from satisfied customers and looked at photos of completed work. The recommendations of my friends, who are quite often satisfied with the work of this institution, played a crucial role for me.
It is important to remember that you should trust only trusted services. I talked to a representative of the company and made sure that all the craftsmen have the necessary certificates, as well as experience in installing windshields. She clarified which brands of glasses they use, as this is also very important. I chose the original glass because, as I was told, it would fit better with the car.
Discussing all the details
Before the replacement, I tried to discuss all the details with the master. I explained to him that it was important for me to have a warranty card and that all the work be done "conscientiously." The master made sure that he had everything he needed to replace it, and answered all my questions. I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive they were to their clients, which gave me confidence in the correctness of my choice.
Another important point that we discussed is the installation time. The master said that the work would take about 2-3 hours, and, according to him, this is the standard time for this procedure. I was a little worried, but he reassured me, saying that the glass would be installed efficiently and accurately.
Windshield replacement
It was the turn of the windshield replacement itself. I was worried because I had never seen this done before. The craftsmen called me to the workshop so that I could observe the process. First, they carefully removed the old glass. I was surprised by how quickly and carefully they did it. Every step they took was dictated by their experience and professionalism. I didn't even notice how much time had passed while they were working.
After dismantling the old glass, the craftsmen began preparing the car. They carefully cleaned the surface to ensure perfect adhesion of the new glass. I tried to focus on the details: I saw how they took care of every element, how they kept it clean, used protective equipment and tools.
When it came time to install a new windshield, they were especially careful. I knew that this job required care and accuracy. The glass is installed using a special adhesive that must harden in order for the glass to become durable and reliable. I felt their confidence — the masters knew what they were doing, and this gave me hope.
Completion and quality control
After installing the glass, the master suggested that I check if everything was in order. I walked around the car, looked at the new glass inside and out. Everything looked very neat. It took a little time for the glue to dry well and the glass to fix properly. The master explained that you should not load the car during the first few hours. It was also useful information for me as a novice motorist.
I really liked the way the service approached completion. They provided me with all the documents, including a warranty for glass replacement. I felt confident because I knew that if there were any problems, I could contact the service.
After the replacement: my impressions
After completing the replacement, I went to the city. At first, it was unusual for me to get behind the wheel. Everything changed — the new glass gave a new look at the road. I noticed how transparent, bright and without any defects it was. No distortion or blurring. I began to feel more comfortable and safe.
For several days after the replacement, I tried to be especially careful on the road. No accidents have happened to me, but I have become more aware and careful. The new windshield helped me to see better and focus on the road, I could react faster to changes in the situation.
The lessons I've learned
Replacing the windshield with a Peugeot was not only a practical experience for me, but also an important lesson. I learned how to appreciate the quality of the craftsmen's work, how to choose the right car service and what steps to take in case of such situations. Being a car owner is not only about enjoying rides, but also about being responsible for safety on the road.
In addition, I realized that it is always worth studying the issue before you encounter a problem. There are many resources and communities on the Internet where you can get valuable information. Communicating with experienced motorists can save inexperienced drivers from making unnecessary mistakes.
In conclusion, I want to say that the experience of replacing the windshield was not just a problem for me. It was a step towards understanding, respecting, and caring for my car. I am glad that I decided on this replacement and made the right choice by choosing professionals. Now, even if something happens, I feel confident that I can handle the situation.
So, friends, if you ever have to face a similar situation, do not panic. The right attitude, detailed training and the selection of reliable specialists will help you get through this with minimal losses. Good luck on your roads! 😊

I chose this service address (Nekrasova 110) because of the convenience of the location and regretted it, a year and a half ago I changed the windshield, the rain sensor on the windshield was glued 5 times due to incorrect operation, okay, God did something with it.a year and a half has passed and half of the windshield has simply peeled off along the perimeter (the frame is whole without traces of rust and defects), which is why water began to flow into the cabin and get on the electrical wiring.When contacting the master about the removal and gluing of glass, a refusal was given.They say the warranty has expired and that's it, pay 100p for the plywood, That is, it turns out they pasted the glass poorly or the materials were bad, and because of this I need to pay again, the policy of introducing the business is aimed at divorcing people to re-apply at the expense of the client, not a cunning way to make money in such a sneaky way. I strongly advise against this service at this address.

In principle, a normal service station, but there are nuances: the guys broke the fastening clips on the seals and did not even tell about it! Okay, they broke it, the car is not new, the plastic has become brittle, etc. but you could have warned them that fasteners should be replaced here and here... Well, the rain sensor stopped working...

I changed the windshield here. In general, everything was done well, the windshield frame had to be welded, they gave the number of the body builder, next to the garages, he did everything, then the glass was inserted. You can apply.

I poured the glass on Nekrasovo 110, it was done quickly, BUT ...
the windshield frame was damaged. When I asked what it was, they refused, it wasn't us, we couldn't and it already happened (photo).
The check was issued only after a request to give a complaint book. Then they became more accommodating and agreed to repair the damage (the result is in the photo).
A couple of days later, I noticed scratches on the bumper and fender in the area where the work was carried out.
I do not recommend this service, the attitude to your work is below zero!

I called in the morning, ordered glass, stipulated the time of arrival, I was a little late, the answer just surprised me today we won't do anything, so we don't have glass! How this sharashkin's office works is unclear!!!! I do not advise you to contact and waste your time! Approach to customers as if they are alone in the city engaged in the repair of auto glass.

There is no sign about the repair and replacement of car windows. There is no warranty either, for repairs. There is a barrier at the entrance, with an incomprehensible entry system (the inscription "parking is paid")

I changed their windshield twice on Socialist Street. It's all good. There are no questions. They have disadvantages in working with clients, they may not call back when promised or take a long time to re-find out information.

The most disgusting opinion that can be left about this company. We changed the windshield on March 9, everything was done really quickly. On March 25, cracks were noticed on the glass from the driver's side from below, there was no mechanical damage, everything was done clearly according to the instructions, the tape was removed a day after replacement, the car is under supervision, no one beat it or broke the glass, the car was not used often during this period of time. We decided that it didn't matter, we were given a warranty card. We contacted this company again. They refused to fix anything, they said that cracks had started due to the opening of the hood. As I understand it, they have the warranty card in mind so that customers can trust more. As a result, money is wasted. I do not advise contacting this company if you value your time and budget

I changed the rear window (glass + work) in Hyundai solaris in November 2020 in Zhdanovichi, 04/20/2022 the glass came off. I wrote to the dits service support chat, outlined the essence of the problem, and clarified what solutions there might be. The administrator wrote the master's number for communication (i.e., after learning that I had a problem with the work that was done on the service and having my phone number, the master himself could not call back, well, this is just a small touch of customer orientation. I called the master, who as soon as he found out that a year had passed, i.e. the warranty period for the work had expired, immediately announced this, and did not offer any solutions. He said the full cost of the work and so far.....It is obvious to me that a lot of time has passed and, most likely, the warranty for work has already ended, but a campaign that values its reputation could offer some options, but at least a discount on work. PS One of the strings of the rear window heating stopped working within a month after installation, but then decided not to messing with it. In general, I do not advise you to get involved, disgusting work and communication with the client.

They called and ordered the installation of glass. The manager confirmed the presence of the glass, the time and place of installation were agreed upon. At the entrance to the service station, 2 minutes before the appointed time, the manager calls and says that the glass is not available and offers to install a cheap Russian analog. It's just awful! We lost half a day waiting for the installation and in fact there is no result.

I came here after installing the glass on Malinovka (there is no longer a "point" for installation). I came because the water was flowing during the rain. The jamb with 'water leakage' seems to have been eliminated under warranty, but the glass was scratched.

I came to the guys with a used vanilla glass with a small crack. The guys accepted as soon as the queue was free and promptly carefully installed and repaired a small crack.
Now about the sad thing! Prices bite a bit in terms of installation. One was announced by phone, but in fact the price is completely different and more expensive.

I came for an elastic band, the price changed up and there was no choice of elastic bands, they eventually sold me an elastic band, which is better and did not fit properly to the glass now there is a gap in the windshield, although take and glue the glass with a new elastic band.Although I came with the old one as a sample. In general , they added extra fuss to me !

I changed the rear window for a Mazda 6 at the Zhdanovichi car market. I decided to put the original glass, the manager helped me choose according to all the characteristics and suggested which one would be better in operation. They offered to leave the car for the night, which was just the way. I'm happy with the maintenance, I'll come back for tinting the rear windows. Recommend.

There was a crack of 15 cm on the glass, I came to the service for inspection, the specialist looked and offered to repair the original glass. I was surprised that the crack had almost become invisible. I will advise everyone to apply for repairs before changing the glass, which will save on installing new glass. 👍 It was a pleasure doing business
