$250 to $450 for a windshield and $200 to $500 for side or rear glass, fitted on your own driveway for exactly the money it would cost in the bay, in roughly an hour. This is one of the better neighborhoods in the city for it, because most houses have a driveway, which means level ground away from traffic and room for the van alongside the car.

A private driveway is close to ideal for glass work, and East Oak Lane has them nearly everywhere. Working off the street removes the three things that make outdoor fitting awkward: traffic passing a foot from your elbow, nowhere to put the van, and no way to leave a car standing untouched for the hour after the glass is set. On a driveway the van parks alongside, tools come out onto the ground instead of being balanced on the trunk lid, and the car sits exactly where it is while the adhesive builds strength rather than being shuffled for street cleaning.
The limits are weather and slope. Side and rear glass is fitted mechanically, so it goes out in more or less anything short of a downpour. A bonded windshield is fussier, because the adhesive takes its cure from humidity and the true drive-away time rises and falls with the weather. Wind matters as well, since whatever drifts onto fresh primer while the glass is being lifted into place stays in that bond for the life of the car. If your driveway drops steeply toward the garage, mention it, and we will either work on the flat at the top or suggest the bay. When the conditions on the day push the honest wait out to most of an afternoon, you hear that figure before we start rather than after.
“Called him in the morning, he called back and I went at lunch to get the window replaced. Fast, east for me. Excellent work, good price. Would use him again, no worries!”

The questions we ask an East Oak Lane customer are all about the driveway rather than the street. Is there room for a van behind or beside the car without blocking the sidewalk. Is the car nose-down toward a garage or standing level. Is there a tree directly overhead, because working under a big maple after rain means a steady drip and leaf debris landing on a bonding surface. Can the car stay put for the couple of hours it needs afterward. Most houses here answer all of that without difficulty, which is why more of our mobile windshield work lands on this side of Broad Street than on the rowhome blocks west of it.

No. A windshield is $250 to $450 and side or rear glass is $200 to $500 whether it is fitted on your driveway or in the bay, and the figure is agreed on the phone before anyone sets off. The real cost of mobile work is scheduling rather than money: outdoor jobs are weather-dependent, so a wet or bitter day can move an appointment, and that is a trade you are making for not having to drive the car anywhere.
Only at the start and the end. Someone has to hand over the keys and unlock the car, and someone should look over the finished job before we leave. In between you can be indoors. What does have to hold true is that the car stays exactly where it is afterward for the cure time on a bonded pane, so if it is blocking somebody in, sort that out before we arrive rather than during the wait.
