How the Mobile Windshield Process Works

You Call or Book Online

We confirm your vehicle details, the extent of the damage, and your availability. Our team checks inventory to ensure we bring the right replacement glass if needed.

Technicians Come to You

Our certified auto glass professionals arrive with everything needed—OEM or aftermarket glass, primers, adhesives, and recalibration tools (if your car has ADAS).

Repair or Replace On-Site

Repairs are performed using vacuum injection technology to fill chips with clear resin. Replacements involve removing the old windshield, prepping the surface, installing the new glass, and allowing time for adhesive curing.

Bonus Tip: Let us know if you have dash cams or EZPass stickers. We’ll help you reattach them correctly after installation.

Things to Know Before Scheduling a Repair

  • Temperature Matters: Extremely cold or wet conditions can affect curing times. Windshield adhesive may require additional time to set in colder temperatures.
  • ADAS Recalibration: Required for newer models with advanced safety features. Ask us during booking if your car needs it.
  • Glass Availability: For rare models or older vehicles, availability may require 24–48 hours. We’ll inform you in advance.
  • Cure Time for Adhesives: After a full replacement, avoid washing your car or slamming doors for 24 hours to ensure proper bonding.

Bonus Tip: Keep your car parked in a sheltered area after repair, if possible. It helps protect the adhesive seal and ensures the best results.

Trending Concerns from Vehicle Owners

  • Can I drive immediately after?
    For chip repairs—yes. For full replacements, most adhesives need 1–2 hours to cure. We’ll let you know the safe drive-away time.
  • Is OEM glass worth it?
    If your vehicle is leased or under warranty, OEM may be required. For most other cars, high-grade aftermarket options meet all standards.
  • What if I’m at work or running errands?
    No problem. As long as we have access to your vehicle, you can go about your day. We’ll text or call when we’re done.
  • What happens if it rains?
    We monitor the forecast. For outdoor jobs, dry conditions are ideal. If it’s raining, we can reschedule or use a pop-up canopy.
