Description

Specialties

I specialize in mobile windshield repair and restoration.

I am NVS-​Opti K licensed and certified and have served satisfied customers for over 20 years.

I do not replace windshields or any other auto glass, so you do not need to worry about me trying to sell you a windshield when it can be repaired.

If I repair your windshield, I will not do a patch, plug or substandard «repair».

Though they may seem similiar, replacement and repair are actually two very different skills.

Replacement involves removal and installation.

Repair involves properly «reading» the damaged windshield impact point so that one knows what type and viscosity of polymer resin to inject under what Psi

They are two very different and unrelated skills, though they both pertain to windshields.

(A painter of cars and of houses sound similiar, but we know that they are totally different. The paint is different, the medium is different, the object being painted is different. So it is with replacement and repair.)

History

Established in 1994.

Established in 1994 to serve the greater San Francisco Peninsula.

I called Greg at 8:35am and he gave me all the specifics on what the repair would be like. He showed up in about 45 minutes and another 45 minutes later, it was done — good as new.
Anyone getting a chip repaired should know that it is a repair and will never be «just like new». I’m very happy with the repair, it is hardly noticeable and better than paying $ 500 for a new windshield.
Greg is courteous and a cool guy to talk to when getting the work done. If I get another rock hit, I’ll be calling Greg.
My Jeep Wranger has gone through 3 windshields in 5 years… The Chevy volt has had 1 new one already in 2 ½ years.

My second time using Greg’s services in the last 2 – 3 years. Great customer service and great work fixing the damage. Greg is very personable and attentive to scheduling. I feel the price is very fair as he has traveled to my home both times on a weekend to make sure the job was done with no further damage. I will continue to use and recommend Greg to anyone in need of windshield repair.

A big pebble managed to double tap my windshield and create a fairly complex crack. About a week passed before I remembered I needed to get this fixed. I checked Unilocal and found this company.
I called and left a voicemail. Gregory called me back about 10 minutes later. He asked me some questions about the crack and my car to determine if he would be able to repair it. About an hour later, he was at my building ready to work.
I’m quite happy with the service I received. Gregory is a very personable guy. He’ll will explain all the steps he’s taking in your repair, and also have some interesting stories to tell as well. The price he quotes you on the phone, is the price he charges. I think the whole job took about 40 – 45 minutes. He’s definitely someone you should give your business to.

Seriously impressive! My windshield was hit by a rock. I stopped by Safelite immediately after it happened and quickly became weary with all the waiting, sporadic mobile service and iffy customer service. The next morning I happened to come across this business on Yahoo and they had good reviews. I called, phone was answered by the owner. He was at my door in 20 minutes, exactly when he estimated he would be there. He finished quickly, was friendly and did a great job. And he was less than Safelite! Recommend this company highly.

On my way to the office a rock hit my windshield on the freeway. As soon as I arrived I made a quick call to Greg! He came out within 1-​hour and voila! Fixed the windshield damage. Quick, honest, reliable. Thank you! Thank you! Definitely highly recommended for your small crack windshield repair needs. Call right away though or the crack may spider. He came straight to my office parking lot and did the repair right there. Awesome!

I called Abacus today to see if the chip in my windscreen was repairable. After very polite and thorough enquiries, Greg established that it was salvageable and arranged to come over to my house to do the repairs. I couldn’t have been more happy with the service. Greg is a humble, old fashioned gentleman who did such a professional job. Watching him work and chatting with him for the half hour it took to make the repair was the highlight of my day today. Who would have thought?
I also learned how important it is to act quickly once you notice a chip as it can quickly become an unrepairable crack. Greg does not replace windscreens. He does however do his best to come out straight away to fix the damage before it gets any worse. A big plus for me is that he came to my house, but would also have gone to my place of work had I required it. I can’t recommend Abacus Windshield Repair highly enough. He even guarantees his work for the life of the windscreen. Just wish there were more people like Greg in all service jobs. Make that all jobs!
Thank you Gregory.

I called his business checking to see if I could repair my windshield or replace it. The line was busy so I decided to forget it. I had an idea that I needed to replace it but I wanted to check with a professional. Well, he called back my number (something that businesses usually don’t do). To my suspicion, it was true. He was very thorough in asking me where and what type of crack it was. He informed me a lot about the types that weren’t repairable and the types that were. So he told me I needed to get it replaced. Usually at this point, businesses just hang up the phone, but he didn’t. In fact, he gave me some very useful information when talking to windshield replacement services. Very polite and courteous guy. If I ever have a windshield chip, I would consider him.

I called up Greg at Abacus, today, based on his Unilocal reviews, and I could not have had a more pleasant experience. Greg picked up the phone as I was leaving him a voice mail message. He was pleasant and courteous over the phone. He walked me through a few over-​the-​phone questions to determine whether my issue could be repaired. He came out to me within the next 30 mins. (he happened to be in the area) and took a look at my windshield crack. Greg was thorough in explaining the process, and which cracks can or cannot be fixed. Unfortunately, when Greg arrived, he found another crack on my windshield that I never saw, and it was on the edge of the windshield where Greg was not certain could get fixed. I ultimately decided to replace the windshield. Greg even called me back after he left to refer me to a windshield replacement shop nearby. Greg is a stand-​up, honest, local repairman. I would call him again with no hesitation.

Greg is a star when it comes to customer service. He was so thorough and made sure he explained everything to me. When I called him, he was in the middle of a doctor’s appointment and rearranged his schedule in order to help me that evening (it was a Friday afternoon)!
He even found another spot in my windshield that I didn’t even know about, and filled it in for me.
Greg is a professional and obviously takes great pride in his work and his relationship with his customers. I can’t recommend him more highly.

I called for a windshield replacement, and after the owner informed me that they only repair, and don’t replace windshields, he then spent five minutes with me discussing search query terms to use on Google, various pricing options, and potential hidden costs. This info was entirely unsolicited and extremely helpful.

I joined Unilocal to write a review about this service. I called and my windshield was fixed 2 hours later with a complete explaination of exactly what he did. Personable, friendly and perfect service.

It’s always when you have had your car for like 6 months that you get hit by a rock!
Greg was great. I called him at 8:15 AM — he had everything finished by 9:45. It only cost $ 99.95 which is even better. No new windshield.
He asked some detailed questions to diagnose over the phone if it was repairable — yay it was! — and was really clear about expectations. For example, this will still have a blemish, but structurally, it’s sound. This was nice — I don’t care either way, I just don’t want a giant crack and a compromised windshield.
Definitely recommended. Very nice person and honest work. I love that he came to my office too. Excellent.

Of course, the first month I had my new car I took a big olé piece of gravel right smack in the middle of the front windshield. On the upside, I got to do business with Greg. I called him yesterday morning for the chip in my windshield and he was at my house an hour later, he had my windshield fixed in under 45 mins. I drove the car that afternoon.
He was so polite and informative the whole time. The windshield looks a million times better and he guaranteed his work for the life of the car. I had such a great experience, I would recommend him to anyone.

Greg is a real customer service oriented person. I had a ding in my windshield that was repaired within 2 hours of contacting him. He explained the process adequately and provided a lifetine guarantee against spreading and delaminating which for me was a big deal after already replacing this windshield before at the tune of 1000 $. I would highly reccomend Greg to anyone looking for a fast, high quality repair service.
