Great and friendly service! I had a windshield replaced in my car and all I had to do was tell my insurance and drop off my car, they handled the rest. It was a super slick process. They were kind enough to vaccum my car, made sure the windshield was spotless, and there were no issues, what a treat!

We are from out of town and had a bad rock chip in our windshield we wanted to get fixed before traveling a long way home. Great group of people that are so helpful and accommodating, especially Whitney! You can't go wrong taking your car to Preston Watts Collision & Glass!

Preston Watts is my "go-to" company for towing! I like that they give me up front pricing so I know what I'm going to pay! Mindy is a great office manager and is helpful!

We had an unfortunate event that resulted in our trailer getting impounded which we didn't find out about until over a month later. Preston Watts was completely understanding, fair and professional. We are truly blessed for them to care so much

Incredible customer service. I got a rock chip repaired for only $40 and when I found 2 more a couple hours later, I came back and they repaired them for free! Excellent service, kind folks, and we'll worth the extra 5 minutes to come here from Logan.
