My wife called out Gavin to fill the crack with his special resin, funny thing is, we don't have a car
"Hi, I'm Steve from Autoglass" WHOA WHOA WHOA! Wheres Gavin!?
This ad was filmed in Belgium. All the livery and uniforms had backwards lettering on them and they were flipped in Post Production.
Still love the ad.
Why is it called "Autoglass" in England but "Carglass" in Germany? That's so weird!
Gavin is a legend
all my love for Gavin
A powerful metaphor. I would have managed to gather that from when he says "it's usually free".
I suppose the visual aid is for people with the volume off, or for people who can't understand Gavin's accent?
The English version of this ad sounds sooo much sexier than the Australian version.
If you can't understand Gavin's accent, then I think you need to get your hearing checked.
All hail sir gavin.
Seen you on TV Gav, big fan.
That has to be the best comeback I've ever read! Fan-bloody-tastic!
I miss Gavin from autoglass. STEVE COULDN’T EVEN DREAM OF BEING A BETTER GAVIN!
GAVIN'S A LEGEND! Steve's good too but just can't compare with Gavin.
Why do the car owners in Autoglass adverts always get their wallets out? Who on earth gets someone to do some work and THEN asks how much it will be? Surely they should already know.
I think Gavin the Brummie was the best advert....Made me laugh all time...lol
@AutoglassUK What a brilliant way to answer a troll. Great response.
@AutoglassUK
lol, that was awesome. glad to see you guys have a sense of humour
wow! This is almost identical to the windscreen's obrien ad in australia! I know they're owned by the same parent company, but it'd pay to be original haha
I wonder if Barry Scott will show up.
what the different between ur resin and the older technqiue of repairing it ?
I miss you Gavin.
Gavin form autoglass is a mans man.
Hello Gavin, I might just accidently on purpose chip my windscreen
Aha love him
@AutoglassUK Sir, you have WON the internet!
Here in the USA, it's "Safelite repair, Safelite replace" with a near-identical storyline and the same musical jingle. But the technician's name in the States is "Erik from Safelite", and Safelite has a different logo.
Not surprisingly, Belron owns both Safelite in the US and Autoglass in the UK.
Gavin's going to make a mint repairing all the riot-hit windows.
@NecroMoebius exactly, the cillit bang adverts are a brilliant example of this, I absolutely hate the adverts, and the guy in them does my head in, but it's no accident that the line "Cillit Bang, Bang and the dirt is gone" is imprinted into my memory
In Australia, there is a similar company called O'Brien... and the adverts are identical, but with an Aussie accent.
I like the Dutch version better. Especially the jingle at the end
erm brummies are fine ?
had this done, its very good :)
@UKMinistryOfSound It's the same as the American version as well.
@AutoglassUK omg that is god dam awsome. not usual to see a company with a sense of humour. Nice one guys :P
in germany its carglass. why it is the opposite word for car?? germany = auto, but its called carglass, uk = car, but its called autoglass.
@AutoglassUK LOL! That's an excellent response.
GAVIN YOUR NEEDED IN LONDON!! :)
Gavin! - Those eyes!!! xxx
Where is Gavin! We want our Brummie boy back.
love it
@bigcretin yeah, i'm much more into the new wave of neo-realist glass repair adverts, you really get an emotional connection with the characters and their many facets
if i hit a dog (or any other form of animal) , and it chips my screen, is that covered by my pet insurance or my car insurance?
why did the guy on the advert get less brummy?
I have the best job in the world. I get to travel around filling a vast amount of cracks with my specially formulated liquid.
My name is Gavin and I work for Autoglass
Legend
Olivier Represente!
o my god is gavin from auto glass!!
see that bit near the end, where he puts his hand up whilst the guy is getting money out, that does not happen in real life
gavin is well fit
You totally can't tell he comes from Birmingham. No way.
x3
LOL! Great minds think alike, I was gonna say the same thing!
without replaaycing eet ! XD
@bigcretin So you hate 99% of all adverts then? Most situations and dialogue in adverts is obviously staged - kinda the point. It's an illustration of an idea not a reality show. There's not supposed to actually be suspension of disbelief - you're supposed to know immediately that it's an advert to better grasp what they're trying to convey.
i love you
I used to love seeing Gavin in the ads. I would even rewind on my V+ box. Now, how sad am I. But still it begs the question of why they replaced Gavin. Surely not a "cultural" reason. If so, there should be a law against it!!!
This guys gonna have a heck of a job with the London and Birmingham riots
obi1123 you were joking right ? o.0
he is going to have a lot of work to do now.
I LOVE YOU GAVIN MARRY ME
OMG He's Gorgeous!
Why is the company called "autoglass" in Britain and "carglass" in Germany!?
Poor Gav's narf got some work cut out in London now...
XDDDDD
He reminds me of Bear from Man VS Wild.
Dude, did he just ask me to get in his van?
it's ironic that it's named "autoglass" in the uk and "carglass" germany... -> auto = car in german ^^
gavin from autoglass can can visit me and inject his spceail resin anyday!!
lol i work 4 smith & smith glass new zealand (belron owned) go the ras and eziwire
i have got him on my facebook wooo hoooo lol
In Germany it´s called Carglass ! XD!
Lol, so funny, the American version is exactly the same just without the accent and it says safelite repairs, now, the issue is..which one came first?
Ha yeah he is fit :)
Brummies ftw!
@AutoglassUK WIN
i always laugh cause when he flicks the windscreen i think a massive cracks going to form
autoglass autoglassrepair xD

AHAHAHAHHA 0:15
INJECT ME WITH YOUR SPECIAL RESUM!!!!
He's so *pretty*
@obi1123 lmfao legend!
looks like he's gonna have a job and half with all those riots
Try not speeding over speed bumps at them speeds!
/watch?v=xfn5hMQYJ4o the American version
Mmmmmmm
@cohaagendesu LAD
HE IS SO HOT.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm gavin from autoglass lol so AutoglassUK can i have his number lol xx
@AutoglassUK Oh, I know that.. It's so Gavin can do his "No, no! Put your wallet away" gesture. It's just very unrealistic and seems so out of place. It's really jarring and the suspension of disbelief comes tumbling down. Anything that seems staged in an advert really puts me off.
loool steve from autoglass killed gavin.
Auto Glass Repair
Auto Glass Replace lol :D:P
irish ad is better.
Lol seriously........
mega brummie, haha.
you want more black country employees, autoglass, less of the brummies!
