Cal Glass

I went here a second time and again great service! I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a fair price and great service!

Excellent quick service. The owner graciously dropped me at Hertz. Long time business owner and really good soulful people. Highly recommend!

Honesty is something that is really important when you have a business, especially one that is very, very local. I came in for a cracked windscreen and my insurance was going to pay for it. I didn’t mention that I had insurance and when I did, SUDDENLY they decided that the entire windscreen needed to be replaced, rather than just filled. CHA CHING!

Helpful, innovative, friendly, affordable, flexible. What more do you want? Came to them with a tough challenge to solve an autodials problem at low cost. Courteous, flexible, and on the ball.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! I came out this morning and some buttheads had smashed my window even though I had nothing valuable in my car. I took my boyfriend to work, and saw this place on the way home so I figured it was a good sign and I should stop. I spoke to Reza and told him that I only have liability insurance and I was hours from having to go to work, but I drive an older car so he didn’t have the right part. He gave me his business card and I gave him my phone number, and since insurance wouldn’t cover the part he called around junkyards and pick-​a-​part places (rather than getting it from the manufacturer, who would charge $ 500 since it’s discontinued), found the part, and called me within a half hour. I brought a book anticipating a couple hours of waiting, but Freddie and another fellow whose name I didn’t manage to catch had it done within an hour, good as new! They charged me next to nothing, they were kind and helpful, and on my way out, Reza gave me some fresh watermelon and sent me on my way! It was a fantastic experience and I’d recommend this place to anyone who needs to get a window fixed. Thank you Reza and Freddie!

Reza is so kind and helpful. My boyfriend had his car broke into yesterday and our insurance company referred us to Cal Glass. Reza gave us a time estimate of only 2 hours (and he had to pick up extra parts!) Definitely coming back here for all of my glass repairs.

Called twice to have them come out for 2 new shower door installs, but they kept saying they would call me back. The 2^nd time they said they lost my number which could be true so i gave it to them again and guess what? they never called me back! I’m in the business of remodeling houses with 3 bathrooms currently and 5 more coming up soon, you would think a company would want the work, in my case i have to presume the do not! There are other companies that will do the work, Sorry to say that Cal Glass just lost all of mine.

My car was broken into this morning and these guys made my crappy morning great. Very competitive pricing, and eager to help a neighbor. I called them at 9:30 am, dropped off my car right away, and they turned it around by noon.

This place is awesome! Got my back window shattered when I backed into a tree branch that I did not see yesterday around 6pm. I called my insurance, allstate, and begged then to find a glass place asap! They said the latest appointments where next week but I asked them to keep looking. Thankfully they found this place which is close to me. I was surprised when they said they could get me in that day, keep my car overnight for no extra charge, and be done the next day. They did exactly what they promised. The work was excellent and they were even able to get the same exact glass my audi used. I am very happy with the work done and their availability. Only downside is it us cash only. So I had to write a 250 check to pay my deductible.

great guys, who did a great job. A littler slower than I’d like and cash only, but other than that, hurray! brand new windshield

Cal Glass Co. Has replaced my passenger windows on a Jeep Cherokee twice in a month now from break-​in cretins overnight looking for stuff to steel. Reza, whom is the main guy I see there has been incredibly professional and kind in alleviating Window replacement hassles and cost. Their prices are affordable, they are always available when I have needed them right away. They conduct the proper research to find the windows my car needs and expedite the window service right away. I am very happy being a repeat customer of this company and have been treated with great respect, professional courtesy and quality from this company. I intend to keep them on file if any window needs ever occur in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone else in the surrounding Berkeley/​Oakland areas. Thank You Reza and Team for your services and also working well with my Insurance company. You eliminated all hassles for me during stressful moments. Keep up the Great Work!

Car window’s smashed in break-​in. Report to insurance. Okay, here’s a company that can replace it. Called Cal Glass this morning. «When do you want to come in?» Um, this afternoon? «Sure.» Went in, did 2 minutes worth of paperwork and Ray said «great, there’s a coffee shop down the street. We”ll call when it’s ready.» Got my coffee, started my reading, and before I got to a new chapter in the book, Ray calls to say it’s done. Went back, checked the car window (perfect), signed off on the paperwork, and I was out of there in under an hour.
No fuss, no muss. Ray smiled. I smiled. What could be better?

My rear window of my Hyundai got smashed in while parked near First Friday in Oakland. At first I called another place in Berkeley, got quoted $ 700! (my boyfriend called a few minutes after me and got a quote $ 300 lower…)
Luckily, a friend recommended me to Cal Glass and I got an amazing price. They were able to get it replaced same day thank goodness! They even drove all the way to San Jose to pick up the new window on a Saturday. They really hooked it up and helped me out of a crappy situation!

These guys scoured the Bay Area to find a replacement window for the funky, back-​side window of my Subaru. After being quoted more than $ 500 at another popular glass shop, they found one for HALF THE PRICE.
The window was replaced in a reasonable time once they got the part. The work was sound and they were nice and clean. They saved me and my family a lot of dough. Nothing to dislike here. Everything to like.

I’ve used these folks twice and have been very happy with their work. They have been friendly, courteous, and timely.
About two years ago, they replaced my windshield and did an excellent job. They didn’t have the windshield they quoted me, but they gave me a better windshield at no extra cost.
Today, they replaced a rear window in about 2.5 hours. They even took care of a piece of trim that was coming off at no extra cost.
Very happy!
Thanks.

These people are great. Competitive prices and replaced my front window in lighting speed time. I’m very impressed!

This morning, I awoke to find that someone had done a smash and grab on the passenger side front window of my car. Luckily for me, there was nothing to grab inside, so they wasted their time while they violated my property. Ah well, karma will get them in the end, but I am very pleased to know that Ray from Cal. Glass Co. was around to help me when I called. He’s in Oakland and I’m in Fremont, but my insurance company referred me. I was very happy that Ray and his colleague Joey were able to come over to my house and replace my window all in under 2.5 hours from the time of my initial call. Really nice guys — pleasant, friendly, efficient, and, though it’s not their job, extremely kind and empathetic about my break in situation (which they see a lot, I’m sorry to say). Thank you Cal. Glass Co!!!

It’s never fun when your car gets broken into and especially if the closest place your insurance offers is only available the following day. I found Cal Glass and I’m so glad I did! Not only did Ray and his staff do an amazing job, they were courteous and professional all the way. I even needed a ride to work while they were working on my car and Ray was nice enough to drive me over. Cal Glass got me through this ordeal without any pain whatsoever. The quality of work they did on my car was excellent and they even offered me a free replacement if anything should go wrong with it.

I was in the North Berkeley library for less than 10 minutes, car parked right outside it, around 5:40, some horrible cretin smashed my passenger side window, grabbed my tote bag. Glass everywhere in the car. And rain in the forecast.
This is a miserable and tedious enough experience so, lucky for me, replacing the glass with Cal Glass was smooth, quick and as pleasant as it could be. The CSAA/​Safelite organization gave me a number of local names/​numbers but *no one* except Cal Glass could replace the glass *and* add the tint in one job. All the other places could replace the glass and refer me on for the tinting. Bleh, twice the effort, time, trouble *and* I would have had to pay for the tinting in addition to my deductible, submit bill to insurance and get reimbursed later.
I talked with Ray, who told me to come on over. It all took about 90 minutes (including the tinting!) and the car interior was clean and glass-​free. It’s near a couple nice cafes but I just hung out at the shop and worked. Gosh, it’s a relief when something goes right. Thank you Ray and Reza.

This place is a little run down and «ma and pa», but I had a good experience. I dropped by and gave an irregular size of glass to have cut. I also asked for examples of their polished edges. The final product was exactly as they said.
I admit I was an easy customer. I felt like the prices were a little on the high side, but the quality was very good so I can’t complain.
