The van charges what the bay charges, which is $250 to $450 on a fitted windshield, $200 to $500 on door, quarter and back glass, and $60 to $130 on a chip. In Kensington the useful question is not price but whether coming out beats driving in, and with the shop under ten minutes away the answer for windshields is usually that it does not. Chips and side glass are a different matter and we come out for those routinely. Call 215-608-1108 with your nearest corner.

Every mobile job needs a clear car's width alongside the damaged side, flat ground, and weather that lets adhesive behave. Where the three line up, working at the car saves you a trip and costs you nothing. Where they do not, doing it anyway produces work that looks fine on the day and fails quietly later: a bead that never wet out properly against the pinchweld, a leak that shows up in the fall, a whistle at highway speed that nobody can find. We would rather have the conversation on the phone than turn up and improvise.
The jobs sort themselves by how much they demand. A chip fill needs the front of the car and half an hour, and goes ahead on most Kensington blocks. Tempered door glass needs the door open most of the way and a vacuum at the sill, which works on the wider blocks and on the passenger side of narrow ones. A bonded windshield needs the most of anything: clear access to both A-pillars, two people, and an undisturbed cure with nothing brushing past, which is a genuinely tall order on a street where a box truck may need to reverse into a bay at any moment. That is the whole reason we push windshields toward the bay here, and it is about doing the job properly rather than about convenience.
“Rich is amazing! Helped me with a broken window. He was able to get me in same day and did beautiful work at an incredible price point. I literally tell everyone now to go to him if they need anything done.”

Where the van can work in Kensington varies block by block rather than by neighborhood, which is why the phone call matters. Kensington Avenue itself is out: the elevated structure takes the curb lane, buses take what is left, and there is nothing overhead you would want landing on wet urethane. The old industrial blocks look promising because they are wider, but they are also where trucks reverse across the street without much notice, so we would rather set up on a residential side street off them. A yard, a lot at work, or any off-street space anywhere nearby turns a marginal job into an easy one. Give us the corner and we will tell you whether it is a van job or a bay job.
Same service, same price, other Fishtown neighborhoods:
No. The same numbers apply either way: $250 to $450 for a windshield, $200 to $500 for door, quarter or back glass, $60 to $130 for a chip. What the location changes is feasibility, not price. If your block genuinely will not take the work we will say so rather than send a van out to look at it and leave, and in Kensington the bay is close enough that the alternative is not much of an imposition anyway.
Not for the glass itself, as long as the car can be worked on where it stands. A dead battery makes no difference to a chip fill or to bonded glass. It does matter for door windows, because the regulator has to be driven up and down to check it and to seat the new pane, so we may need to put power to it or work the mechanism by hand depending on the car. Mention it when you call so the right kit comes out with the van rather than after a second trip.
