What a FANTASTIC company, and some of the best customer service i have ever received. I will definitely make my safe home to more Glocks in the future.
So I called up Glock in Smyrna, Georgia to schedule some work be done on two pistols I own, as well as a couple magazines, and I was informed that there was no need to make an appointment. They said come on down, and twenty minutes later I was at their front gate.
The security guards took me into the guardhouse, wrote down my serial numbers at the front gate, locked the slides back on my guns and ran some locks through the action to secure them. They took a quick look at my drivers license, handed them back to me in the case and then gave me a visitors badge. They opened the gate, and directed me to the back of the area, which is where the Armorer Building is located.
The whole facility was clean, brightly lit, and the lobby of the armorer's building had a TV with Glock ads on a loop.
Before I even sat down, I was immediately approached by a Blonde Gentleman named Robert, who quickly took down my information and asked me to fill out a form for service. I told him I wanted a pair of Glock Factory Night Sights installed on my 17, and after telling me the price (63 bucks + tax! so cheap!) He then took my two guns and the 7 mags i brought with me back into the armorers area. Robert told me it would be about 45 minutes to an hour for them to check over both guns, install the night sights, replace any parts that needed to be brought up to Factory spec, test both guns, and file any necessary paperwork.
45 minutes later, He walked out with both of my guns in hand, and a printed list with all of the details of the parts that they installed in both guns. They replaced over 25 parts in total between the two guns at absolutely NO CHARGE to me, including two new triggers, new connectors, new springs, all the firing pin safety parts, new firing pins, new extractors, new slide locks and slide lock springs, and both of the recoil springs as well as installing the brand spanking new night sights.You name it, they replaced it at no cost to me.Mind you, my 17 is over 26 years old, so it needed some TLC, and they were more than happy to help out.
Essentially the only thing they didn't replace were the frames(although i was told it was 100 bucks if i wanted a new one, also very cheap considering prices online), the barrels, and the slides, which I was totally fine with. The best part of it all was when he smiled and said that 4 of my Glock 17 magazines were kind of old and the followers were pretty beat up, so he kept em and gave me 4 brand new Glock OEM 17 round magazines free of charge. FREE OF CHARGE. I can't get over that. It was all totally free, aside from the Glock Night sights installed which i was more than happy to pay for considering they zeroed them at the factory before they even left the door.
In parts alone, the work that was done was well over 200 dollars in value, and they replaced all of those parts completely free of any charges, including labor. Those mags sell for 30-40 dollars a piece at most gun stores and online, so the fact that he replaced 4 for free was incredible and definitely worth my time going down there.
I truly wish many more companies would stand behind their products the way Glock does, and I will definitely be going back to their factory for a tour and to take some classes they offer. They were even hiring when i went, and there were job availability pamphlets on the tables in the lobby where you wait.
All in all, I wish I could give them higher than a 5 star rating, because that was the best customer service I have ever experienced. Bravo Glock, Bravo. You have a customer for life.
