One visit can cover several vehicles in a Franklinville yard, at $250 to $450 a windshield and $200 to $500 a side or rear pane, which is exactly what the same work costs in the bay. Allow about an hour per vehicle on site. Yards and lots on the Boulevard side of the neighbourhood are the easiest ground we work on. We run out weekdays between 7:30 and 4.

A yard is the environment mobile glass was invented for. Flat ground, no passing traffic, the van able to park nose to nose with the vehicle, room to lay a windshield down on a stand rather than balance it, and nobody needing to be waved past an open bodyshell. That is why fleet work runs so much more smoothly than a kerbside job: the constraints that make outdoor fitting awkward are mostly about traffic and space, and a yard removes both at once. What is left is the weather, which is the same wherever you are.
For several vehicles the useful preparation is boring and it saves the whole day. Send the year, make, model and where possible the plate for each vehicle in advance, so the glass is confirmed and carried rather than assessed on arrival. Say who is on the gate and what time the yard opens, because we start at 7:30 and there is no point arriving before somebody can let us in. Note which vehicles are signwritten or racked out inside. Pricing is per vehicle in the usual bands and quoted before anyone drives out, so there is a number on the job before the van leaves Germantown Avenue. Side and rear glass on a fleet is quick once the van is set up; bonded windshields set their own pace because the urethane does.
“Excellent job and great professional service. Dropped my car off 8am and it was done within two hours. Pricing for my window replacement was the most reasonable in the city of Philadelphia. Highly recommend.”

Franklinville splits neatly into two kinds of mobile job. Toward Hunting Park and the Boulevard there are yards, lots and warehouse frontages where a van can work in comfort, and that is where the multi-vehicle calls come from. On the residential blocks nearer Erie Avenue it is ordinary kerbside parking, workable for side and rear glass and worth a conversation before we commit to a windshield outdoors. The deciding factor is almost never distance, because the whole neighbourhood is eight minutes down Germantown Avenue. It is whether the vehicle can stand still, undisturbed, for the full cure. If it can, the van comes. If it cannot, the shortest drive in our service area is the better answer and we will say so.

Yes, and it is the most efficient way we work. Give us the details for every vehicle in advance so the panes are confirmed and loaded rather than looked at on the day, since van glass is the category most likely to need ordering. Each vehicle is quoted separately in the same $200 to $500 and $250 to $450 ranges. Side and rear glass moves quickly once the van is set up; bonded windshields need their cure time, so tell us which vehicles have to be driveable by when.
Roughly a vehicle's width alongside, and clear access to both front corners for a windshield. In a yard or a lot that is never an issue. At the kerb it depends entirely on what is parked around you, so describe the spot when you ring. We also need the vehicle to stay put after a bonded pane goes in, for the full safe drive-away time we quote on the day, which is a longer commitment on a cold morning than on a mild afternoon.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
