Mobile Auto Glass Repair: How Does it Work?

There are many inconveniences in life but one that is up there is a cracked or chipped windshield. Chips and cracks, even when small, can lead to larger issues. And when a chip or crack becomes larger, there’s no other option than to replace the entire windshield. This is why acting fast when a chip or crack is small is essential. Mobile services are there for you.

What Does “Mobile Glass Service” Mean?

It means exactly what it says. Mobile glass service comes to you, which takes a large chunk of the inconvenience out of the windshield repair process. With a mobile auto glass service you won’t have to drive your vehicle to the shop and wait or leave it there. Instead, the technician comes to you and you continue with your day while they repair the glass.

What Are the Advantages of Mobile Auto Glass Service?

Convenience is the main advantage of repairing your windshield with a mobile service. Even if you didn’t wait for the service and left your vehicle at the garage, you still have to go get it and ensure you have a ride. It’s ALWAYS easier when they come to you. Mobile services also benefit you from having the job done on your own time. 

How Mobile Auto Glass Repair Works

Having your windshield repaired is a four-step process, which we cover below. It’s simple, as you will read, and it’s convenient. 

1. Evaluation

The first step of the process is having the technician take a look at the chip or crack in your windshield. They will know, once they see the damage, whether you need a windshield replacement or if a repair will do. Smaller chips and cracks can be repaired, but at a certain length, replacement is for the best. 

2. Preparing

When the technician agrees that the damage in your windshield can be repaired instead of replaced, they will begin to prep the area. This includes cleaning it so it’s free from dust and debris, which can hinder the repair. 

3. Repair

A special resin will be injected into the damage by the technician. Then they will smooth it out and cure it with a UV light. This process restores the windshield’s integrity. 

4. Final Lookover

Before letting you know that the job is complete, the technician will go over their work to make sure everything is as it should be. 

That’s the process, in a nutshell. You could be home, in your office, working on that latest project while a mobile technician repairs your windshield. 

How Much Does Mobile Auto Glass Repair Service Cost?

Several factors come into play when it comes to the price of windshield repair. What kind of glass is it? How big is the damage? But, we can say that on average, repairing a windshield with a mobile service can run anywhere from $60 to $90. A seasoned service should be able to give you a more accurate quote over the phone or online.
