Mobile service covers the whole district at the same prices as the bay: $250 to $450 for a windshield, $200 to $500 for door, quarter or back glass. What the job needs at your end is a legal parking space next to the vehicle and about an hour of dry weather. We work Monday to Friday 8:30 to 5:30 and Saturday until 4:00, and the same workmanship warranty applies whether the car is on Snyder Avenue or on your block.

The reason mobile exists is simple: a car with the driver's window missing or a windshield cracked across the sightline should not be driven across town to be fixed. The van carries the same glass, the same primers, the same urethane and the same vacuum as the bay, so nothing about the specification changes because the work happens outside. What changes is the environment, and that is worth being straight about. Urethane cures by reacting with moisture in the air, and it wants a stable, dry hour. Heavy rain, or a temperature near freezing, extends the safe drive-away time, and we will tell you the real figure at your kerb rather than a convenient one.
What we need from you is mostly parking. A space beside the vehicle where the doors open fully and someone can walk around the front of the car is enough. A permit block is fine, a work lot is better, a driveway is best. If the car sits where nothing can be done safely, in a bus zone, boxed in on a narrow one-way, halfway across a pavement, the honest answer is to say so and get the car to the shop instead, and we would rather have that conversation on the phone than after the van has been sent.
“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.”

South Philadelphia's parking culture is the main variable in mobile work here, and it is not a small one. Almost every residential block is permit parked and full by evening, plenty of streets are narrow enough that a double-parked van blocks traffic entirely, and street cleaning clears one side of the road on a fixed schedule. The practical result is that mobile jobs here run best mid-morning, after the commuters have gone and before the school run, and best of all on the wider cross streets or at a workplace lot. When you book, tell us the nearest corner and which side the car is on. That one detail is what decides whether the van arrives and starts, or arrives and circles.

No. The figure you are quoted is for the job, not the location, and it is the same range either way. What differs is what the weather can do to the schedule: an outdoor windshield in steady rain or near-freezing cold means a longer safe drive-away time, and occasionally it means rebooking for a better day. Side and rear glass is much less weather sensitive, which is why most of the mobile work in this district is broken door windows.
That is usually the easier option, and a lot of our mobile work happens in car parks and yards rather than on residential blocks. A lot gives the van room to sit beside the vehicle without blocking anyone and takes the permit clock out of the equation entirely. Check with whoever manages the site first, give us the address and where the car will be standing, and leave the keys accessible if you are going to be inside for the hour.
