Mobile fitting costs the same as the bay: $250 to $450 for a windshield, $200 to $500 for side or rear glass, about an hour on site, weekdays between eight and four. In Prospect Park the deciding factor is street width. Give us a driveway or a spot where both front doors open fully and the van can stand alongside, and the job runs exactly as it would indoors.

Street width decides it here more than weather does. A windshield needs the van parked beside the car, a bare bodyshell open to the air for a few minutes, and someone able to walk the length of the vehicle carrying a pane without stepping into moving traffic. On a Prospect Park block where cars are parked on both sides, that is often simply not there, and the alleys behind the houses are narrower still. A driveway solves it outright. A wide corner, a church or business lot with permission, or a mid-morning slot when the school-run cars have gone all work too, and it is worth telling us which of those you have when you book.
The rest is chemistry. The bead does not dry, it reacts: urethane pulls moisture out of the air to harden, so how warm and how damp the morning is decides when the car is genuinely safe to drive, and moving air decides how much dust lands on a primed pinchweld in the minutes before the pane is set. Outdoors we position the van as a windbreak, keep the opening masked while the bed is prepared, and set the glass without the long pause that lets grit settle in. If the day is bad enough that the honest number would be three hours rather than one, you get that number. Side and rear glass has none of these constraints and goes out in almost any weather.
“I can’t express how great these guys were. I made a call at 4pm 2 days ago. They were out the next morning first thing. Broken glass in our shop door removed and replaced in no time at all. Highly recommend.”

The eight-minute drive is usually the tiebreaker in Prospect Park. If the car is drivable and you have no off-street parking, coming to Folcroft is faster overall than finding a legal spot the van can work in, and the windshield is fitted under a roof rather than under whatever the day is doing. Mobile makes clear sense in three situations here: the car is on a driveway, the glass is so badly cracked that you would rather not drive it at all, or it is a side or rear window that can be done at the curb in twenty minutes. Book early either way, because our van only runs inside weekday hours and Prospect Park streets are at their emptiest mid-morning.

Sometimes, and it depends on the block rather than the borough. What the van needs is to stand beside the car without blocking the travel lane, with room for the doors to open and for someone to carry a pane down the side of the vehicle. If your street is parked solid on both sides, the realistic options are moving the car to a wider street nearby, arranging a lot with permission, or driving the eight minutes to Folcroft. Describe the block when you call and we will tell you honestly which it is.
No. A windshield is $250 to $450 fitted whether it happens in the bay or on your driveway, and door, quarter and back glass runs $200 to $500 either way. Same glass, same primer, same urethane, same new moldings. What changes outdoors is the conditions rather than the specification, which is why the safe drive-away time can be longer on a cold or wet day and why we will occasionally recommend the shop instead. The price is not where the difference sits.
