Recently I needed to call my insurance company for a windshield replacement. They provided a recommendation of Best Glass for the install. I spoke to Renee and the process to set up the installation was quick and efficient. He confirmed the appointment for the next day, asked what time I leave the office and set the appointment for between the hours of 9-2.\n\nToday was the big day for the installation. As the hours passed I did not receive a  phone call from the technician or the home office. Knowing that most companies indicate a car should sit for at least 2 hours prior to driving, and I leave work at 3, I began to get nervous as my lunch break expired. 1:55 and still nothing. Knowing it takes typically 40 minutes to complete a windshield installation, I elected to call and speak to Renee to cancel the service call. In doing so, he said the installer was just 15 minutes away from me. I said that's fine, but it is 2:00 now, 15 minutes plus the installation time makes me late, so I would cancel. I indicated that I heard it should sit a few hours before driving and he said typically in one hour it would be fine. Okay, but that still makes me late. He said no, that's from the time the glass first makes contact. Still the time table seemed sketchy and there is a safety hazard with driving unsettled glass. Given the heat, warm days also make the contact more slippery and require longer to form a tight seal. Nevertheless, Renee said it would be okay to complete the work and still leave at 3. I cancelled anyway - then contacted the insurance company to correctly cancel. \n\nWhile on the phone with the insurance company, I felt the vibration in my ear indicating an incoming call. I finished the cancellation and listened to the newly left voicemail from Ray, the Best Glass technician indicating he was 5 minutes away. Now 2:10, that definitely does not leave time to arrive and complete the work. He persisted and called back; this time I picked up the call. \n\nIn speaking to Ray, who was now apparently in front of the building, I voiced my concern that it would take 40 minutes to complete the installation - putting me late for going home. He said he could probably get it done in about 20 minutes. \n\nMy concern is that the company's own web site has a FAQ page (http://www.bestglass.com/faq.html#faq5) that reads \""Because of the complexity of some vehicles, it could take as long as 3 hours. Most vehicles, however, require about an hour to an hour and a half to properly install the windshield.\"" My concern is further documented on the same page stating \""If an installer claims he can install your windshield in 30 minutes or less, it's a sure bet it won't be done right and certainly not safe.\"" It seems the company's own technicians and operation personnel do not heed their own warning. \n\nI told Ray that even after it would be installed it should set for a couple of hours and was told it would be okay in probably 30 minutes. Again, the company web site states \""While most automotive grade urethane's rely on temperature and humidity to cure, the time required varies widely depending on the manufacturer. This time frame can range from 3 hours up to 24 hours before your vehicle will meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is considered safe to drive.\"" What about 30 minutes? Their web site warns \""If you need to drive your vehicle sooner, a chemically cured urethane can be used that will allow a 1 hour drive-away time. In either case, it's imperative that you follow the manufacturers' instructions regarding safe drive-away times. Not adhering to those instructions could result in your injury or even death.\"" \n\nYikes! \n\nIt appears that the company provides a good web page that explains the dangers of improper installation advice and potential safety hazards leading to injury or even death. The shame is that their staff does not follow their own advice. \n\nBased on my experience today, I would steer clear of this company!
