A cracked or broken windshield can be unsafe and inconvenient, so finding a way to get it fixed as quickly as possible can be crucial. If you can not get to the glass shop to have a windshield replacement done, using a mobile windshield replacement service is often a good option you may want to consider.
Choosing a Location
Often when you are using mobile windshield replacement services, you have more options than if you take the car into the shop. You can choose the location for your repair, and in many cases, you can have the technician come to your home or even your workplace to make the repairs.
The weather needs to be suitable for mobile repairs, so some times you may not have that option unless you park in a garage that the tech can access. Check with the windshield company about the options if you are dealing with a broken windshield in the winter months.
Getting the Right Glass
Some cars came with several optional windshields for the same model car. When you are having a windshield replacement done in your vehicle, you may need to tell the shop which windshield you have so they can replace it with the right one.
The glass company will often ask you about the glass and help you determine which windshield you have so that the technician will bring the right glass with them when they come to make the repair. If the tech shows up with the wrong glass, it can mean a delay in getting the repairs, and if the glass you need has to be ordered, it is essential that the glass company gets it done before they schedule a time for the tech to do your windshield replacement.
Getting The Work Done
Once the glass company has the glass, they will set up a time to come and do the windshield replacement on your car. You need to be free to meet the technician and give them access to the vehicle to start the work. You do not have to stay with the car, and when the work is complete, the tech can call you so that you can return to the vehicle and secure it.
Most mobile windshield replacement services allow you to pay for the work when you set up the appointment, so all you need to do it give the tech the keys and then pick them up after the job is done.
