Advantage Auto Glass

I had a window get shattered in SF on Wednesday night and upon contacting my insurance agent, Charles’ company was one of the recommended local shops to get the work done. I called him Thursday and his quote was the best in the Monterey area and he was able to replace the window this morning (Friday) in an efficient, professional and friendly manner. All this before the start of Memorial Day weekend! I highly recommend him to anyone needing their automotive glass repaired or replaced.

Second time we used Charles. Both times, excellent service. On time, quick and inexpensive. What more could you ask?

Charles does all the work that our shop Classic Coachworks at Monterey he is always been fair on time does a nice clean job he is the only guy I’ll use in Monterey plus he’s a sweetheart now that I’m retired I have him doing my other stuff and he’s done a fantastic job to

If everything was this easy! Had a crack that kept growing know I needed to replace it. Called he was at my house next day, on time, had the glass replaced in just a tiny bit over an hour. One of those services you hope you don’t need again but if you do this is the guy to call.

I have used Charles for auto glass repair on several occasions in my life. He does outstanding and quality work. He is efficient, extremely experienced and professional. He does Mobil work, and is very accommodating and respectful with scheduling. His prompt, professional and quality craftsmanship has been extremely appreciated by my family. I highly recommend Charles and will always use his service for any glass repair work needed for my auto’s and boats. Excellent job! We are very fortunate to have Charles in our community providing his exceptional expertise and service.

Got my windshield replaced on my Acura 3.2 TL by Charles and he did an amazing job! $ 165 and in 45 minutes (all other quotes I got were over $ 200 and time estimated in 1 ½ + hours). My windshield looks better then the factory one I had before and for the work he did I would of paid triple :) I’d highly recommend anyone to see Charles!

Great service and by far the best prices! Charles knows the ins and outs of windshield replacement. The best part is that he comes to you, no taking your car somewhere only to wait around to have it done. Came to my place to replace the windshiled on a 2008 Scion XB, done in less than an hour! Rock on Charles!

Great service at a good price!
I highly recommend Charles, his service made my TSX windshield replacement very convenient.

Got A Rock Chip That Grew Into A Huge Crack Called Around An Found Charles Was Mobile Witch Worked Great For Work Schedule When I Made Appointment He Showed Up Early Was Very Quick Nice An Very Friendly Great Price Would Recommend Him To Everybody I Know

Charlie has the best prices in town. He’s an honest and hard working guy. I’ve used him twice now. One for a rear driver side window replacement and one for a windshield replacement.
I have a 98 Corolla. Since I’m always curious what others pay and never can see price comparison, here’s the breakdown.
Rear window: $ 150
Windshield: $ 160
Parts and labor are included. Usually its next day installation. Bottom line is that I’d use him again and recommend him to anyone.

I called today to ask about a repair that I had been told elsewhere would be costly and time consuming, but necessary. The seals around the windshields is degrading and water is coming into the car. Charlie was very kind and told me that the outer «seals» on my car did nothing to keep water out. They are just for show. The real seal is inside those. The repairs are not needed at all. He did tell me what to do to look for where the water is coming in and I very much appreciate all of the time he took to help me NOT pay him anything! You don’t run into that very often!

Monday: Wife got a parking ticket.
Tuesday: Wife broke the glass of the driver’s side mirror of our Sienna when she brushed against a tree. Dealer gave an estimate of 150 $. Found good reviews of Advantage auto glass on the web. Called Charlie. He ordered the part.
Wednesday: Charlie came today to my office and replaced the glass for 50 $. He also brought with him a costlier (heated) glass, but said that the cheaper one would be fine.
Conclusion: What a person (Charlie, that is!) and what a great service! Amazing.

I had to replace my windshield on my van today. I called Charles I got a quote & the cost was good lower than a lot of the other shops in town n what made it a plus was he comes to you. I set up my appointment and he had really good communication. He installed right away he said it would take an hour but he was able to finish before that which was great !!! I would definitely use again.

Quick and thorough!
I got my rear window smashed in and Charlie was able to track down a new window for my newer car and had it delivered the next morning.
There is no dropping off your car or leaving it overnight somewhere. Charlie comes to you and does it at your convenience. He vacuumed my car of 95% of the broken glass and replaced the window within an hour.
Thank you to Charlie for the fast and seamless job!

So happy! Charles is definitely the guy to refer! Not only was he willing to start his day earlier than planned, (I needed the car window changed out before leaving for work), but he works fast and knows his stuff. Yes, the price charged was the price quoted, but his price was also the best price of several places I checked! And, he comes to wherever the car is!

Last night some jackass thought it would be a good idea to break out the back passenger window of my truck, which I didn’t discover until it was time to go to work this morning… Needless to say, my insurance company gave me two options of auto glass repair shops while we were settling my claim over the phone. As someone who is an avid user of
… I logged on (while I was on the phone) and looked up my two options.
Advantage Auto Glass had the better rating and customer reviews, so with that… my choice was made and my call was forwarded down the pipeline.
I spoke with Charles who luckily (for me) was able to come out later this afternoon for a 2:00 appointment at my house to not only replace a door window, but the windshield as well. He surprisingly showed up 15 minutes early (5 stars alone for that!) and replaced BOTH the window and windshield AND vacuumed all the glass out of the interior and bed of my truck in an hour.
He was professional, personable, and i would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing repair to the glass on their automobile. As a matter of fact, I am so pleased with his work I’m going to post his business name/​number on my Facebook wall so my friends can take down his information if they ever need it.
Thank you Charles, you were a lifesaver today!

And to the guy who broke my window… I’ll be waiting at the upstairs window with a sniper rifle for your ass. Have a nice day until then! :)

Bottom line: I got my glass and it was the price he quoted me: $ 165 for a Nissan Altima. Charles struck me as a very honest, competent and hard working small business owner. I ABSOLUTELY WOULD recommend him to friends, family or colleagues. No hesitation.
Can he get to every appointment exactly at the time scheduled?
Nah, not really. But that is the nature of his business.
We had scheduled a 1:30 appointment and he arrived at about 2:05. I watched him carefully remove my windshield because I was interested to see the process. It took him more time that he would have liked because my windshield had been removed before and the previous installation made it more challenging to get out this time. But Charles was careful and thorough. My job probably took him longer than expected and it likely made him late to his next appointment. That probably happened at his previous appointment too.
Trust me on this… I’ve waited FAR longer in dentist and doctors offices and you have too.
He explained that he has thought about giving customers a time range of when he would show up, but figured that might sound too much like unreliable and irritating cable guys. Waiting for him was no problem for me because I was at the office anyway.
I’m pleased with Advantage Auto Glass because I got exactly what I wanted at an honest price. Charles was a genuinely nice and friendly guy. No need to look elsewhere. (I thought about giving 4 stars because I figure that any review with 5 is gushing and not realistic. But I changed my mind and put five because I value competence and honesty more than anything else and I genuinely feel I got that with Advantage.)

I noticed some Unilocalers in the past have complained about communication and timeliness but I can only say good things about my experience with Charles. Maybe he listened and learned from those comments? I can’t say for sure but I’ve had to have windows and windshields replaced on a number of occasions and this was probably one of my best experiences to date. I had made an appointment with Charles only to forget about it and realize when he called me when I was out of town. «No problem,» he said and we rescheduled for next week and he held my new windshield until then. The second appointment comes around and he shows up on time, takes care of the job in under 30 minutes and gives me the cheapest price around. I wanted to see how the process works so I stuck around while he did the job and he was friendly and informative. I’m hoping that I won’t need any windows replaced in the future but if I do, I know where to go.

I called advantage when I was getting quotes from various auto glass places. The quote was just right and the guy I talked to over the phone was very nice and polite and informative. They set up an appointment for the very next day. Charles who happens to be the owner and one of their operators actually came and changed my glass himself. He was very nice and was able to answer a few of my questions that I had. The replacement was fast and easy and Charles was very respectful and funny to talk to. I would recommend their service to anyone. Family… friends or just a random person on the street.

I had an appointment with Charles today at 9:00am. Said he was going to call me to get directions. 9:10 rolls around and I haven’t heard from him, so I decided to give him a call thinking he might have misplaced my phone number. I got his voicemail and left a message. I still haven’t heard from him and I decided to call back again at 10:00am. Finally got a hold of him and he told me that he’s in Prunedale and is running behind on one of his glass repairs. That’s understandable but I would of liked a heads up instead of waiting around wondering if he was going to show up.
So he told me he’ll meet me between 11am and noon. He showed up at 12:30pm and was finished in 45 min. I’m impressed that he replaced it so quickly and everything looks pretty good so far. He told me that I have to wait about an hour to drive and to take off the tape on the top of my windshield tomorrow. The only thing I have to test out is the rain sensor but he assured me that it works.
I got his number from Storelli Brothers in Seaside, and the guy there told me that Charles does great work. I decided to give him a try because he quoted me $ 295 for a replaced windshield on a 2006 Mazda 3 Hatchback. That’s actually not too bad because I went to other shops and they quoted me $ 500 or more because I have the rain sensor windshield.
Also, his windshields have a lifetime warranty. He accepts cash, check, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), and can also work with your auto insurance. He’s a mobile service and is available Mon-​Sat. I would give him 5 stars but since he was late he’s going to get 4 stars. Overall I am happy with my experience and would recommend him to anyone who needs windshield replacement or repair.
