CRACK STILL VISIBLE, much better, but still visible - Had a crack and he told me $100. Did the work in about 30 min. Unfortunately the crack is still visible. While it is a lot better and should not run anymore, it would have been nice to know that and set proper expectations. He saw that I was disappointed and only charged me $80. 5 Stars for fairness, 3 Stars for expectations not being met.

This place is very reasonably priced. They are very honest and do not try to take advantage of you. I had my windshield fixed there a few years ago. I went in for a touch up on the repair because I noticed it was starting to crack more. There were no questions asked. The guy just fixed it and also fixed another little crack at the same time. He did not even charge me.
I had a few other chips and asked him if they needed fix and he said they did not need fixed.
This is a very honest place.

Had a long crack in my windshield that I needed to have taken care of right away. Very friendly and honest service. He explained the possible cons and price difference between fixing the crack vs the whole windshield. I decided to fix the crack only. It is still noticeable, but I knew it would be, thanks to his explanation. Plus, it isn't *super* noticeable, and I can live with it. Thanks for the great service!

Fast friendly service I had a small star shaped crack from a rock front windshield. After repair it looked smaller and I no longer got the prism effect from sun light. I'm happy with the repair and over all service I received. I would highly recommend Pitstop Autoglass + Windshield Repair Service Center

So I had two cracks from a rock about a quarter size each. The nice guy was able to work on my truck right away. He charged me $110. Both cracks are still visible. I am giving 5 stars because I appreciate small business, but I won't pretend I wasn't just a little bummed. This is the first time I've had a crack fixed, so if he told me he could only do so much, I would have been less bummed and more understanding. A family mechanic told me he'd be able to get me a while new windshield for $100 more. I might have considered this if I knew the cracks should still be visible as they are.

Gil always does an outstanding job of identifying pits & chips. The name pit stop is apt, since he makes sure any pits of nicks dont turn into cracks. Hes honest & will tell you if theres a mom-issue. I prefer coming here because I trust the service. For safety in ensuring you dont get cracks spreading across your windshield, this is the best service!

Had a vicious star crack on my new car coming back from Phoenix. This was a bad crack. It looked like 2 rocks had simultaneously stuck the windshield a cm apart. Figured no matter the repair, I'd see the damage.
I had heard good things about Pitstop (plus checked Yelp and Google reviews to confirm) and felt good about bringing the car to them. Just drove up and friendly guy tells me 30 minutes (I had 2 cars in front of me).
No problem, go into DQ for a quick bite, came back out 30 minutes later and Gil is putting on the fill for the divots. He finishes up and I can't believe how great a job this is. It's almost impossible to see the cracks and the fill just looks like a tiny water spot.
Although I hope I never have another windshield crack, we all know I will. And I'll be going to Pitstop for the repair.
