Seaside Glass & Mirror

I needed a new passenger side mirror for my car. Gave Seaside a call in the morning — they didn’t have it in house, but called me to say it was in by the early afternoon. Swung by to pay for it and install myself. Upon inquiring about a discount (I work up the hill from the business), they took off a few bucks and installed the mirror for free. I’ll definitely be back.

I have had plexiglass cut for me at various places, and usually the results are mediocre – chipped edges, uneven cuts. So I thought I would try this local glass shop to see if they could do better. I called on a Friday morning to order three mid-​sized sheets. I called again on Monday (they are closed weekends) to see if it was ready, and they said by the end of the day. Called end of the day, said ready Tuesday. Called Tuesday, they said tomorrow. I called Wednesday and they said it was ready. Ok, well if it’s cut well, worth the wait, although I wished it could have been a more realistic estimate. This place charges 25% more for their product than other places, so I expected it to be done well.
It wasn’t. It was scratched and the plastic was coming off to reveal this. I mentioned it to the women at the desk, who were awesome (and why i didn’t give only 1 star.) They said they’d get «him» to fix it. They took it back and I heard some arguing, and then a few seconds later «he» comes out, glares at me, and slams, yes slams, my plexiglass down on the counter. I look at it. It is scratched. Badly. Like, I’m not going to take home something I’ve waited 5 days for and have it be unusable. I mention it again, she inspects it and say, yup, damaged. She brings it back and he yells that he’s late to a job, and doesn’t have time for this shit.
This shit being my order that I ordered 5 days ago and waited pretty patiently for.
He cuts it again though. Ah, he actually does know how to cut it. It looks fine. But for this price and for this amount of waiting, I will not come back. Why would they take smaller orders (not tiny) if they weren’t worth their time? Their time being literally the 10 seconds it took to cut it properly.
