Does it Cost More for Safelite to Come to You?
I had a windshield crack recently, and I wasn’t sure whether it was worth it to have Safelite come to me or if I should take my car to a service center. I did some research and found that there are a few factors that can affect the cost of mobile windshield replacement.
In general, it does cost more for Safelite to come to you. However, there are a few reasons why you might want to consider having them come to you anyway. First, it’s more convenient. You don’t have to take time off work or arrange for a ride to a service center. Second, it’s often faster. Safelite can usually replace your windshield in about an hour, while it can take several hours or even days to get your windshield replaced at a service center.
Factors that Affect the Cost of Mobile Windshield Replacement
The cost of mobile windshield replacement can vary depending on a few factors, including:
- The type of windshield. Some windshields are more expensive than others.
- The location of the damage. If the damage is in a difficult-to-reach location, it will take longer to replace the windshield, which will increase the cost.
- The availability of the windshield. If the windshield is not in stock, it will need to be ordered, which can also increase the cost.

- Ask for a discount. Many companies offer discounts for AAA members, seniors, and military members.
