How Mobile Windshield Repair Works (Step-by-Step Guide)

Discover how mobile repair brings fast, flexible service to your driveway—on your schedule.

Why Mobile Windshield Repair Is the New Standard

When your car window cracks or chips, your first thought probably isn’t about the repair process—it’s how you’re going to find the time to fix it. Between work, errands, and family life, squeezing in a trip to a repair shop feels like a luxury you don’t have.

That’s where mobile service changes everything.

At Auto Glass Legend, we specialize in on-site car window repairs and replacements, serving drivers across Mississauga, Hamilton, Guelph, and beyond. Whether you’re at home, the office, or on the road, our certified technicians bring the solution to you.

Here’s exactly how mobile car window repair works—step by step—and why it might be the most stress-free fix you’ve never used.

Step 1: You Call or Book Online

It starts with a quick call or online booking through autoglasslegend.ca. You’ll be asked for:

  • Your location

  • Vehicle make, model, and year

  • Description of the damage

  • Preferred time for service

Our dispatch team will schedule a mobile appointment that fits your day—often same-day or next-morning, depending on availability.

Step 2: We Evaluate the Damage Remotely

Before we arrive, our team may review photos or descriptions you send. This allows us to:

  • Confirm whether the window needs repair or full replacement

  • Determine if any ADAS recalibration is required

  • Prep the correct glass type and tools

Not sure what kind of damage it is? No problem. We’ll walk you through a quick virtual check to make sure we’re fully prepared.

Step 3: We Arrive at Your Location

On the day of service, our certified technician arrives at your home, office, or other safe location with all required tools and materials.

What we bring:

  • OEM-quality glass or repair resins

  • Suction cups, molding kits, and adhesives

  • Portable work lights and protective covers

  • Calibration systems if needed


Our mobile van is a fully equipped repair bay—so you don’t need to lift a finger.

Step 4: We Perform the Repair or Replacement

Here’s where the magic happens.

If it’s a repair:

  • We inject resin into the chip or crack

  • Use UV light to cure and harden the resin

  • Polish the area for smoothness and clarity

If it’s a replacement:

  • We remove damaged glass and clean the area

  • Install new window with precision using OEM parts

  • Apply sealant, molding, and allow for curing

Most mobile car window fixes take between 30–90 minutes. You can stay inside, take a call, or go about your day while we do the work.

Step 5: Optional Sensor Calibration (for Newer Vehicles)

If your vehicle is equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—like lane departure or automatic braking—we’ll let you know if recalibration is needed.

Recalibration ensures your safety systems function properly after a window or windshield replacement.

We handle basic recalibrations on-site. If full recalibration is required, we’ll guide you to our equipped shop in Burlington for a seamless follow-up visit.

Step 6: Clean-Up, Walkthrough, and Warranty

We clean the entire work area—removing any broken glass, tape, or tools—and give your window a final inspection.

You’ll receive:

  • A walkthrough of what was done

  • Tips on care and curing time

  • A lifetime warranty on workmanship

  • Option to process your insurance claim directly with us

There’s no need to drive, wait, or call your provider—we take care of it all.

Top Questions We Get About Mobile Car Window Fixes


Is mobile service more expensive than going to a shop?

Not at all. We offer the same prices for mobile and in-shop repairs, and most insurance policies cover both. You won’t pay extra for the convenience.

What types of damage can be fixed on-site?

Most side windows and windshields with chips, cracks, or clean breaks can be repaired or replaced on the spot. Severe structural damage may require in-shop care, which we’ll explain upfront.

How long does the whole process take?

Most repairs take under 90 minutes. You don’t even need to be present the entire time.

What if it rains or snows during the service?

Our technicians assess weather conditions and will use tents, covers, or reschedule as needed. We’ll never compromise your vehicle’s safety or glass seal integrity.
