You have a damaged windshield, and you know you need to get it fixed pronto. But you’re super busy, and you’re not quite sure if you can afford to wait around for in-shop auto glass service. You’ve heard about mobile windshield repair and replacement, but you don’t know anyone who’s had it done, so you’re wondering whether it’s a good idea.
Will you get the same quality repair? Or, if you need a windshield replacement, can the auto glass techs actually do that outside the shop? You have questions, and our team at Only 1 Auto Glass is here to set your mind at ease.
Read on to learn what you should know about mobile auto glass service, so you can decide whether it’s right for you.
Mobile vs. In-Shop Auto Glass Service: Quality of Work
If you’re worried mobile windshield repair or replacement won’t live up to the quality of in-shop work, don’t be. At Only 1 Auto Glass, our technicians are highly trained and professionally certified to perform both mobile and in-shop auto glass service.
They use the same high-quality materials and precision techniques to do the job, whether they’re doing it indoors or outside. The only difference between the two services is the fact that we can’t control the surrounding environment with mobile repairs, but with in-shop service, we can.

Weather Can Interfere With Mobile Windshield Repairs
If weather conditions are poor on the day of your scheduled mobile repairs, you may need to push back your appointment until the weather improves.
To repair a minor chip or crack, we inject resin into the damaged area, and your windshield must be totally dry for that resin to adhere and cure properly. If it’s raining, snowing, hailing, etc., and you can park in a covered area that’s 100% shielded from moisture, you can likely keep your repair appointment.
Mobile Windshield Replacement Requires Specific Conditions
If your windshield is eligible for a mobile replacement, the weather needs to be just right on the day you schedule service. Temperature, moisture, and airborne debris can all affect the adhesive’s ability to adhere to the frame of your vehicle.
Our mobile techs must consider all of these factors before performing their work. If conditions might interfere with the quality of the replacement, you’ll need to push your appointment back.
Generally speaking, an in-shop windshield replacement is a better option simply because we’re able to control the environment indoors. If you can spare your vehicle for the day and get a ride or rent a car, opting for an in-shop auto glass replacement will ensure the work gets done on time.
