My driver window wouldn't go up, so I went to Guardian Windshield, and they were awesome! They quickly figured out the problem and told me I just needed to get the parts. But what really impressed me was that they went ahead and put my window up for me until I could get everything. Once I got the parts, I came back, and they got the job done super fast. On top of that, their prices are insanely affordable! I’ll definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs auto glass help
100% recommend!!! We called multiple businesses for 2 vehicle windshield replacements after a wind storm and Guardian Windshield was less than half the price of every business we called. They came to us the next day and did a fantastic job. We highly recommend doing business with them. Great customer service and prices you can’t find anywhere else! Thank you for making a stressful situation less stressful!
We had an unexpected crack in our windshield and the guys at guardian got us in within 24 hours. They were friendly and efficient and honest with pricing. We were in and out within an hour. They even called us to let us know that there was availability to get us in sooner than our originally scheduled appointment. This is the only place I will go for car glass repair and replacement in Albany.
I had a great experience with Guardian Windshields. They did an amazing job replacing my windshield and only charged me $460, which is a huge difference compared to Safelite's $1200 quote. The quality of the work was excellent, and the team was respectful, thorough, and professional. They even came to my house to do the job. Highly recommend them!
Got the parts and the job done for a door window replacement 2 days after calling. Called a month later because the window was struggling to close in cold weather, and the issue was fixed gratis same-day. Affordable (half the price I was quoted by other competitors), efficient, and both courteous and friendly.
Cracked my windshield after a rock hit it on the highway. I was freaking out calling every place I could with no luck. These folks were able to get me in same day and fix my windshield within an hour! Very nice people with a good sense of humor. They were extremely helpful. Definitely worth the 1 1/2 hour drive!
I needed a new windshield along with my safety stop recalibrated. Guardian Windshield was the best price and the most flexible for scheduling! Everybody is friendly and knowledgeable, and the owner Joe came out and introduced himself. Made me feel well taken care of. Will be recommending to everyone who is in need! Thank you to the fellas at Guardian Windshield!
Punched my windshield and made a nice crack across it. Gave these guys a call and booked an appointment. Didn’t have any openings during the week so they told me to come in on Saturday! In and out in an hour and a half. Definitely recommend!
I am pleased with your evaluation and review. The service exceeded expectations.
Great service flexible and really fast and affordable helped me out greatly
Friendly staff. Great service! Cheaper than Safelite. In and out in less than an hour.
Very professional, super fast. Better price and MUCH better service than Safelight, thank you!

The boss will ask if you are satisfied with the installation process after the end. Professional and excellent enterprise. Highly recommended.

Guardian Windshield was an easy, excellent experience. The friendly Guardian staff made replacing my cracked windshield simple, hassle-free, and quick at a great price.
Got my 2020 BMW X3 M Competition windshield replaced here, and they did an awesome job! They even handled the ADAS calibration, so all the tech is working perfectly. The team was super friendly and quick. Definitely will be coming back if I ever need another windshield replaced!
They were able to replace my window the same day I found it broken. Quick and reasonable rate
Very great experience! Weve been to a few service centers - they couldnt figure out how to fix our rearview mirror, even went back and forth with warranty provider but none of them was able to help until we came across Guardian Windshield who took us in right away and got it fixed in no time! Highly recommended!
Friendly staff, quick work, went above and beyond what I paid for. Great price. No complaints!
Outstanding service and better pricing than anyone else. Had me gone in about an hour.
I had been putting off replacing a cracked windshield but these guys made it super simple and straightforward. They were able to schedule me quickly and I was in and out in under an hour. Honest people and I m always happy to support local. (They even offered me a slice of pizza!)
My windshield has been cracked since June and I have unsuccessfully dealt with safelite so my fleet company called guardian on Thursday, guardian called me Friday to schedule for Monday. They arrived when they said they would. My windshield is finally replaced thanks to Guardian. They are fast and efficient I would highly recommend
Excellent customer service. Excellent performance. Excellent communication. Excellent site. Excellent experience overall.
Excellent Work! My rearview mirror wasnt installed right by another company, so when they changed my windshield they put my rearview mirror on the the right way as well. Now I can drive home with some stress lifted off my shoulders. Their services are very appreciated !!!
Just want to let form you that, the gentlemen at this shop (Joe and Matthew) are the masters of customer service and creators of perfection. I had a smashed windshield due to being vandalized and these guys were very professional and considerate the entire process. Thank You so much for the quick and reliable work. I will one hundred percent always recommend this shop! Do not second guess going here. You will not be disappointed!
Great service! Quick, friendly, reasonably priced!
Joe went above and beyond to get the job done with vehicle. Friendly and fast service.
Door window replacement - After googling results and calling 6 different glass companies, Guardian was one that had a human answer the phone, had the glass in stock, and had an appointment 2 days later. Service was fast, and they called once the glass was finished being installed. I would recommend Guardian to anyone needing auto glass replacement, and should I find myself needing auto glass again, I will be calling them first.
Great guys, best price around, replaced my windshield quick
Talk about great and efficient service. I made a phone call and had a new windshield installed. Prompt and courteous. Thank you Joe.
If you are in the Albany area and need glass repair, look no further - I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!!! Quoted me $100 less than safelite & even offered to do some repair on an additional dent once seeing my car just to be kind. I was able to make a next-day appointment & the glass replacement took an hour, super quick & easy for me. I could not be happier with my experience! 10/10 recommend.
Excellent work priced $350 less than Safelight
These Guys are awesome! Great service and reasonable pricing
They put on my rear view mirror for free
These guys were very professional from start to finish and got my window fixed fast and right unlike their competitors. Highly recommend.
Got the windshield replaced on my truck, went quick and easy and I can tell the glass is just as good as OEM!
They do vantasic work . If you need auto glass repair its the place to go. They work with all insurances.
Joe and Matthew are amazing! They did a great job replacing our rental trucks passenger window that shattered on the way to Albany with such short notice. They were very kind, efficient, and reasonably priced. Im so glad we found them and will recommend them to anyone who needs auto window replacement services.
Quoted me $401 with tax for mobil. Told them I found a better price $310 with tax, mobil and lifetime warranty. They were very rude on the phone.
Awesome work!!!
Guardian did my windshield and I couldn t be happier with the outcome. It was done quick and professional. Let s go Guardian!!!
Guardian windshield did an awesome job on replacing my windshield in an efficient amount of time. Hopefully no more unpleasant dump truck encounters ..
Be careful guardian windshield massive fraud organization
Outstanding !!! In & out quick, perfect job Thank you !!! Don t go anywhere else :)
They were quick, affordable and efficient. They got the glass we needed and got it done quickly. They were professional and pleasant you couldnt ask for more.
Great fast service with good prices
Got me in fast, great service
I went to Safelite, and they had an issue with my car. So, I went to A Line. Never met them before. They did a great job. Extremely professional small business. Very kind folks. I used their wifi too, so I didnt have to charge time at work. This was perfect because I had several incoming emails that I had to respond to quickly. Good all around.
Visited to have a crack in my windshield fixed, on the recommendation of my mechanic. They were fast, friendly, and fair priced. Definitely recommend, professionals who know their stuff when it comes to windshields.
I d leave a negative number if they had that as an option. Company was JUST sold to new owner- guy who answered phone pretty much said we bought biz 2 weeks ago and we don t have to cover your warranty. The gasket has completely fallen out of around windshield. I called up and explained how I had all new gaskets/windshield installed on a new windshield frame for a jeep wrangler. And how the gasket is all out and the top is hanging on the dash. Opportunity to gain business. Obviously I need it fixed. This guy should have said it may cost you as we just bought the business and how can we help you but instead wanted to tell me how it isn t warrantied, how the company they bought it from didn t do piece work (as though I need to know that) they don t need my business. I had dealt with Dana until his passing from safelite for years at that location and although the location is convenient- I would steer clear from this new company Guardian Glass as they don t care about customers at all. He definitely took me a little off guard. I expected the same friendly people I called. Not some guy telling me how he was going to not fix it.
Fixed driver side window,,quick and great job!
Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional on the phone. Didnt end up using the service this time but I would definitely recommend then and call again if I needed this service again.
Great job, awesome price and got it done quickly. Definitely recommend this glass company.
I called this place on a recommendation from a friend who went there when it was A Line Auto Glass. That business was just recently bought out and renamed Guardian Windshield. Right off the bat I got a weird vibe from this business. No website, the place looks pretty run down, and you communicate and set up an appointment via text message which tells me there isnt even a landline phone associated with the business. Alarm bells started going off. He asked for a deposit which he said I could send through a secure Square link. Thats when I decided not to use this business. Im pretty hesitant to submit credit card information through links. That on top of everything else just seemed too sketchy and I didnt feel comfortable moving forward. Cant really speak to the service because I didnt end using this business so for all I know, the place is great but Im just leaving this to say beware. No website, no business phone number, and everything is done via text message. Im all for supporting smaller businesses but businesses need to try a little harder to instill confidence before I have them hundreds of dollars. Something doesnt seem right. The place needs to improve its optics.
The were amazing, needed my drivers side front glass replaced after it got smashed and they did it same day for a fair and honest price.
These guys are the best in the capital region. Dropped off 8am and was done by 9:30. They were able to save my registration and inspection sticker. New windshield looks great everything put back exactly as it was. Overall very happy I went with a line! Would 110% recommend this shop.
I would recommend this shop - great service. Once they had the info from my insurance company to replace the shattered rear door drivers side window of my 2012 Nissan Altima, they called me to schedule an appointment. I was in and out in less than an hour - they cleaned out all the broken glass, replaced the window, and verified that the window mechanism was still working. Friendly, courteous staff. Did all that was expected. Zero complaints.
Amazing experience! Safelight couldn t fit me in for two weeks, way too long to have plastic on my window. Called these guys, they received the glass that night and had me in and out in 45min the next morning. Thanks A-Line!!
Best place to get windshield replace. Safelite quoted me 650. Did it for half the price and showed up 4hrs before my appointment time
A-Line is awesome all the way around. Great people to work with from front desk to the techs. I travel all over for work so it s difficult to book appointments; they got my new windshield delivered in a reasonable time, same day, and installed while a waited. Insurance claim was a breeze as I only had to pay my deductible to the shop. Customer service is top-notch. I highly recommend. Also they have a comfortable couch and television for those who are waiting.
Very good and kind shop.
Excellent customer service, good establishment.
A-line is by far the most friendly, on time amd accurate in the Albany area. They will get you fixed up 100%. Prices are A+. Beyond better than competitors, much more affordable. The owner amd operator is friendly and very mood uplifting. For times when you need the glass fixed I would say it really kicks your mood down .. this guys give a nice vibe and pretty cool conversations. Process is fast and easy. I will 10000% recommend them for your next glass repair/replacement. They will even come to you. (They drove all the way to Schenectady to help me out.) Which I was very thankful for it. In a summary... honest, great service, fast, easy and recommendable for everyone.
Awesome work and great price highly recommended thank you so much will come back when I need more work
Great price on my windshield and they were very friendly.
Service was excellent and the car was done quickly the price was better than anybody elses as well would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs automobile glass
Great experience at this place. Everything was very simple and easy to do if you re using your insurance. It took about 2.5 hours from drop off to pickup since they needed to reprogram a lane departure system. Would definitely recommend!
Loved it here! They were so helpful! Had me in & out in no time. The customer service was 5 star! Highly recommend!
I would just like to say how grateful I am. I woke up this morning to my rear window being shattered. I knew someone who told me to contact Javier at this shop. He told me to bring it right over. Upon arrival he was outside and said if I have it in stocks I will have it back to you today. Very impressed and his staff is also all around friendly and helpful. Bless you all and stay great! I appreciate you.
Highly recommend good prices, exelent work,nice people and very professional
I got a call from my boyfriend saying we got a Crack in the bottom of the windshield and by the time I saw it, it already grew. So I called aline to set an appointment to get it replaced thinking it would take a few weeks for the replacement to come in. They got me set up for the next morning without any issues and were so extremely friendly. Junior and Ana were amazing!
It was very friendly staff there theyre very polite and their work was excellent if you would ever need your windshield repaired or replaced they are very reasonable prices its the best deal in town
Excellent customer service! Top notch workmanship. I recommend this business to everyone! If I need windshields or any type of the service they provide, I m using A-line all the way. Great job!
Ive been using these guys for 4 years now and Im very happy with the service they provide very friendly and professional
A clean and welcoming establishment. Price was lowest around, fast and professional work, friendly staff, highly recommended for all your auto glass needs.....they even do mirrors.
Where do I start? Shopping around for the best price for a windshield for my Mazda CX-5 Red baby. Safelite wanted $550. These guys beat that by almost $200. When I went to pick her up, the job was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. One of my concerns was getting a knock off aftermarket glass. My windshield is a exact replacement and DRUM ROLL...all ez-pass attachments, stickers, decals and suction mounts were placed in the correct position as I left her. The boss man came out to make sure I was good and said if there are any issues to bring it back. I won with a great price and an exact product. 100% Satisfied.
Awsome services and got in out in a hour
The window on my drivers side door was shattered while I was at work. They came and cleaned up all the broken glass, picked up my vehicle and replaced the window. They even wiped down the inside of the door! Everyone there was very friendly. This is a nice family-run business. Good people that deserve your money.
Experience was ok. Wasnt pleased with how they left my window. And was promised same day and had to wait because they didnt check the glass before they quoted a time frame. But was pleased they didnt just put a damaged window in my door
Affordable and very timely and proficient. Whenever I need glass call A Line Auto Glass .. Thanks Loves
I had to cancel a competitor after they didnt show 4 times in a row. Anna at ALINE was very thorough and professional. They came earlier than expected and completed my window in less than an hr in my driveway. I highly recommend their services for the capital region. A++++
They get the job done quick
Quick and friendly service. Brought my car in to have the windshield replaced. They completed the job that afternoon. They did a quality job....even were able to move my inspection and registration stickers to the new windshield.
Awesome place ! Suggest if you need your windshield done to use A Line ! Friendly, amazing customer service, fast, job well done !!!!! For anyone in the capital district this is your place to get your vechile worked on !!!! Awesome people!
Always friendly and fast
Got my windshield replaced here and was very happy. Really good outfit and about half the price of the quote I saw on the National Brand. I highly recommend A-Line.
Fast & efficient! Cheap too!
Excellent services
Good work/price/customer service
Very professional , convenient and friendly . Quality work and he comes right to you . What more could you ask for 5 star for A line
Great place! They honored their warranty and I am very happy with them.
Had A Line replace my windshield a year and a half ago. It started leaking a few weeks back and I brought it back to the shop and they stood by their work and replaced it at no cost. Solid.
This company came recommended and they didnt disappoint! All of the staff were so kind and courteous every step of the way. Im so happy with the glass replacement job that A line Glass LLC did. I also will recommend this company.
I called and got an appointment for the next morning, Christmas Eve. I had a small chip in my windshield and they had it repaired in 15 minutes or less. Friendly service with smiles!! Best price around too!! Highly recommend and would use again!
The people are warm AND I recommend .. Very inexpensive..I paid 195$ no tax for replacing a windshield on a 2006 Chevy blazer
The service here is top notch. They greeted me with smiles and quickly got to work on my window. They are professional and took time to answer all of my questions. I will be recommending this place to family and friends.
My car was broken into and the passenger side front window was shattered. I called around for a couple of estimates and A Line Auto offered the most competitive price by far. I dropped the car off that day and picked it up the following morning with a brand new window. Additionally they vacuumed all of the glass out of my car. There was a moment in which I was slightly skeptical, as they informed me that the power window was not functioning properly and needed to be reset by the dealership. Prior to picking up the vehicle I called the dealership to confirm this, and received instructions from them on how to re-calibrate the window. Upon pick up, one of the guys working helped me to so- it seems to be working well. All of the employees were extremely polite and easy to work with. I would go back in the future (though, hopefully I dont have to!).
They are reasonably priced and they do an exsalant job.
These guys can do the job for a moderate price. Ill always recommend them to anyone
They were very kind when i first called. Very punctual and the guys who changed my windshield were very nice, but they do NOT guarantee their work. I have a cover over the wires on my windshield, they scraped the clips off and reattached to the new windshield. This was Wednesday, today is Friday and they are falling off. I called and the lady told me that they didnt do it and said the new windshield came with them on it. I advised it didnt, she got pissed and asked if i was there and watched them put them on? I told her my husband was n watched them. She told me i could bring in, thy are in Albany I am in Troy, she said they would not come back to me and hung up on me. I also asked to speak to supervisor she said she was the owner. They had no problem coming out to me when my insurance was paying them, but to fix their shotty job i have to drive 20min to them. No thanks.
Best customer service
Great group of guys, Vidal does a wonderful job on window tinting, removal and vinyl wrapping. He will also do minor mechanical work. Break pad replacement, rotors and ect. Just ask.
I went to this place to have my driver side mirror put back on he said he could do. Upon doing so he messed up the electrical so I could not adjust the mirror. Then he tried to tell me it was already messed up, even though we already tested it before he started. Then I tried to kick me out and threatened to call the cops because be knew he made a mistake. I never even raise my voice which I had the right to do since he messed up my mirror wires.
I have taken both my vehicles to A Line Auto Glass to have my windshield replaced. A 2013 Chevy Equinox and a 2016 Honda Civic. Both times I have been very pleased with the outcome and greeted by friendly staff. A Line Auto was recommended to me by TACS in Glenmont. Moving forward if I need any work done on my windshield I will be bringing it to A Line.
Good job ! Great customer service. Wouldn t go anywhere else. Excellent work.
Replaced my glass, put it in to far to one side and refused to fix it without me paying twice....really, u mess up and its my fault ? Rude lady that answers the phone...doesnt have a clue about business or customer service....worth the extra $$ to have it done right the first time, thanks for nothing.
A line has done over a dozen windshields for my family friends and me. Everything from sports cars to pick up and dump trucks. Everyone was top quality. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. I dont hesitate to recommend them to anyone. The only glass company I call.
They did an awesome job and quick too. Windshield on my Corolla cracked on Tuesday, by Weds morning they had my glass replaced, for less than 2/3 the cost of Safelite, highly recommend going to them. I definitely prefer to support small businesses like this.
The best hands down !!!
A+++ We use them for all of our glass needs. Thank you!
I got my windshield replaced excellent price and great costumer service .
