Mobile fitting in Grays Ferry costs the same as work done in the bay: $250 to $450 for a windshield, $200 to $500 for door, quarter or back glass, and about an hour on site. Yards, lots and the wider blocks are all workable. Book on 215-608-1108 and tell us where the vehicle will be standing and whether it can be moved.

Two things decide whether an outdoor fit goes well: space and air. Space is rarely the constraint at this end of the city, because a good share of the vehicles are standing in yards, lots and off-street ground where the van can sit alongside without blocking a lane. Air is the more interesting one. Urethane cures by reacting with the moisture around it, so temperature and humidity set the real safe drive-away time, and wind decides how much airborne dust lands on a freshly primed pinchweld in the minutes before the glass goes down.
That is why we do not work off a fixed script outdoors. The van gets positioned to put itself between the open bodyshell and the wind, the opening is masked while the bed is prepared, and the bead goes down and the pane gets set without the long pause that lets grit settle into it. On door and rear glass none of this really applies, which is why that work goes out in almost any conditions. On a bonded windshield it is the whole job, and if the weather on the day means the honest safe drive-away time would be three hours rather than one, you will be told that number rather than a convenient one, or offered the bay five minutes away instead.
“Clearly a community place. Really nice and responsive. Fixed my windshield by far for the cheapest price. The initial install was bad and I had leaking... so I went back again and they installed another new windshield! Very glad they remedied the mistake and saved me some money.”

Grays Ferry is the windiest ground we work on. The open stretches near the river, the bridge approaches and the cleared industrial land give the air a long uninterrupted run, and it carries fine grit off the truck routes with it. For a mechanically fitted side window that is irrelevant. For a bonded windshield it is the difference between a clean bed and a contaminated one, so we pick the sheltered side of the vehicle, use the van as a wall, and keep the pinchweld covered until the moment the bead goes on. On a genuinely rough day, the sensible answer is a five-minute drive to Snyder Avenue rather than an argument with the weather.
Same service, same price, other South Philadelphia neighborhoods:
The specification is identical: same glass, same primer, same urethane, same new mouldings, same lifetime workmanship warranty. The variable is conditions rather than method. A dry, mild day outdoors is genuinely equivalent. Cold, rain or heavy wind means a longer safe drive-away time and more care keeping the bonding surface clean, and if a day is bad enough that the job would be compromised we will say so and move it rather than fit it and hope.
Yes, and a yard is the easiest environment we work in. Give us the registrations or the year, make and model for each vehicle in advance so the glass is confirmed and carried rather than looked at on the day, and tell us who is on the gate. Pricing works per vehicle, in the same $200 to $500 and $250 to $450 ranges, quoted before anyone drives out. Side and rear glass on a fleet is quick work once the van is parked and set up.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
