In many cases, windshield repairs can be performed in 30 minutes or less. Windshield replacements will often take 60 minutes or less; however, we recommend that you do not drive the vehicle for at least one hour after service is completed.
If you're scheduled for an in-shop appointment, plan to arrive at least ten minutes early to check in. You'll also want to make sure your gas tank is at least three-fourths full. For electric vehicles, the battery should have at least a 60% charge. If your service includes recalibration, please remove any heavy cargo from the vehicle and ensure all tires are properly inflated.
When scheduling your mobile appointment, you can opt into receiving text message updates about your service, including when your technician is on their way to you.
You'll have the opportunity to include specific instructions for your technician during the scheduling process. Once you finish scheduling-online, you’ll get a confirmation-email with all your appointment details, including the date, time, location and any other need-to-knows. Text 800-800-2727 to give your tech instructions.

If your shop offers Drop-and-Go, you'll need to drop off your vehicle between the shop’s opening time and 9 AM on the morning of your appointment. Park in any available parking space, then visit the shop’s front desk to drop off your keys.

The ideal locations for mobile service are level driveway, parking lot, garage, or carport. This is for the safety of both our technicians and your vehicle. In some instances, your technician may be able to safely provide service on a low traffic residential street like a cul-de-sac or garage alleyway. Your technician will assess the situation and make a final decision before beginning your service.
