We,in the trade of servicing and restoring old British cars, Jaguars particularly, have relied on Joe Roskoph to install our glass since the early 80's. I needed to have a windscreen installed in a 1969 Jag E Type 2 + 2 and have called him and spoken to him since early this year 2015. Not once has he returned (MY) phone call, and every time I make an appointment with him over the phone he has told me he will be here. Never once has he called to say he got tied up, got sick, had a death in the family....nothing! This has happened 6 times this year. I'm still waiting to have the glass installed. He's always asked me if the car was reassembled and ready to go. What the heck difference does that make? If we need to have the glass installed when I call him, that's when I need it done, weather it is ready to drive or it's a bare tub without a single screw on it's chassis! All of my other contacts I've called to get other referrals tell me there is no one in Cleveland that does the early Jags. That's the only reason I continue to try and schedule him to do it. DO NOT USE JOE ROSKOPH! He is the most unreliable contractor I've encountered in years!

Response from GLASS SYSTEMS INC
Naturally I am disappointed with [Member Name Removed] response to this incident. For over 40 years, Glass Systems has been in the business of windshield replacement for the finest automobiles of the world. The bulk of my installations are performed for a select number of automotive dealers in northern Ohio, or their customers through referrals from these dealers. Regardless if the vehicle has 100,000 miles or zero, my ability to duplicate the factory installations of windshields in these vehicles consistently maintains my relationships with these dealerships at the very highest level. My scheduling has always been, and will always be, concentric to these relationships. All the while, filling my calendar with the most difficult, and often most time consuming installations of the autoglass industry today. Even with this complex schedule, I still work in time for a limited number of restoration-type autoglass jobs, for committed customers seeking my meticulous level of workmanship. Cooperation on timing of these jobs is a must, as I require as much advance notice as possible, and flexibility on setting up the actual work sessions - often requiring multiple visits. Though seldom very profitable, I devote the same level of focus and precision craftsmanship I deliver on the Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Porsche, Rolls Royce, and Maserati models (as well as any other vehicles) I service. And yes, that includes Jaguar. I did spend considerable time at [Member Name Removed] shop working on the Jaguar, but could not complete the glass installation due to a discrepancy of the body on the passenger side. However, the restoration of the vehicle was nowhere near completion, with much of the body still disassembled. The subsequent delays I encountered in scheduling further work sessions had no impact in the progress of the restoration. Once I was made aware of [Member Name Removed] negative review here, I basically was disqualified from proceeding with the job. I feel our working relationship, so critical in complex restoration work of this nature, was damaged beyond repair. I chose to cut my losses and forfeit the time I had in the job to date, rather than proceed with what I perceived as a hostile work environment.

Joe Roskoph went above and beyond to perform an outstanding repair on a windshield that other auto glass providers wouldn't touch. The job was complicated by some border rust. Joe not only performed excellent service, but was prompt and reasonable. This outfit really knows what they are doing. Great customer service. I would endorse them completely!

You get what you pay for and with this company its quality. I was not at home when they came to fix my car. However my wife stated they were punctual and professional. My car looked just like it did when I brought it home. Unfoutunately the next week I broke my windshield again. This time the insurance company made me use a competitor: Safelite. The tech commented he was suprised that the windshield was replace because it looked like it was a factory install! While Safelite was 60% the cost of Glass Systems, they have had to come back out twice to do the work right. Still the seams are not as crip around the glass. Definitley go with Glass Systems: worth the money and time!

Response from GLASS SYSTEMS INC
The windshield we used for the Member's installation was an OEM Acura part, with a list price substantially higher than the aftermarket part installed by Safelite. We used all the appropriate moldings specified for replacement by Acura to complete the job. Our installation was performed to Acura specifications and the job was invoiced to (with all components preapproved by) the insurance company per their pricing parameters. The Member was only responsible for his insurance deductible. We felt badly that his windshield was broken again so soon after we had replaced it, and were disappointed we did not have the opportunity to deliver that same level of quality the second time that he really deserved.
