TL,DR: Arrow Auto Glass comes to you for windshield replacement. The process takes about an hour, longer if a recalibration is necessary, requires no preparation on your part, and includes a limited lifetime warranty. Mobile service is not a lesser option; it is Arrow’s core model.
You Should Not Have to Rearrange Your Day for a Windshield
Most people have cracked windshields for longer than they should. A shop visit means dropping the car off, arranging a ride, and losing a chunk of the day.
Arrow Auto Glass removes that barrier entirely. An AGSC certified technician comes to your home, office, or wherever you need them and handles the job while you go about your day.
This is not a convenience upgrade. It is the standard way Arrow works.
How a Mobile Appointment Works, Step by Step
Step 1: Get your quote. Call 866-975-4527 or visit arrowautoglass.com. Provide your vehicle’s year, make, and model and describe the damage. If you have auto insurance, have your policy number ready so Arrow can check your coverage at the same time.
Step 2: Schedule your window. Arrow books appointments in AM and PM windows. Pick the one that fits your schedule. Most appointments are available within one to two business days. Same-day service is often available if you call in the morning.
Step 3: Get your arrival call. On the morning of your appointment, your technician will call between 7:30 and 9:00 AM with a two to three hour arrival window. You will know when to expect them.
Step 4: The technician arrives ready to work. Arrow technicians arrive with the replacement glass specific to your vehicle, all required adhesives and tools, and calibration equipment if your vehicle needs ADAS recalibration. You do not need to provide anything.
Step 5: The installation. Most standard replacements take about 60 minutes. The technician removes the old windshield, prepares the frame, installs the new glass, and performs a full post-installation inspection.
Step 6: The cure period. After installation, the adhesive needs at least one hour to cure before you move the vehicle. The technician will give you specific guidance based on your vehicle and the weather conditions.
Step 7: Walkthrough and warranty. Before leaving, the technician reviews the job with you and covers aftercare instructions. Your lifetime warranty is active from the moment the job is complete.
Where Arrow Can Come
Arrow can complete a mobile installation in most locations with a flat, accessible surface.
- Your home driveway or parking area
- Your workplace parking lot
- A shopping center or grocery store while you run errands
- An apartment complex visitor area
- Roadside locations for vehicles that cannot safely be driven
The main requirement is that the vehicle is accessible and the surface is reasonably level.
Is Mobile Service as Good as a Shop?
Yes. The glass, adhesive, installation process, and warranty are identical to a traditional shop visit.
Arrow technicians are AGSC (Auto Glass Safety Council) certified and follow AGRSS (Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard) protocols. These are the same standards used in any professional glass shop.
The only difference is that you do not drive anywhere.
ADAS Recalibration on Mobile Visits
If your vehicle requires ADAS camera recalibration after the replacement, Arrow’s technicians are equipped to perform static recalibration on-site for most vehicle makes and models.
Vehicles that require a fixed facility for static calibration will be handled accordingly. Arrow will identify this requirement when you call for a quote so there are no surprises.
What to Do After the Job
For the first 24 hours after installation:
- Do not run your vehicle through an automated car wash
- Do not pressure wash near the windshield seam
- Leave a window slightly cracked when possible to allow pressure equalization
- Avoid placing suction mounts or stickers on the new glass
After 48 hours, treat the windshield normally.
Quick Answers
How long does mobile windshield replacement take? About 60 minutes for most standard vehicles. Add 30 to 60 minutes if ADAS recalibration is needed.
When can I drive after a mobile replacement? At minimum, one hour after installation. Your technician will confirm the specific drive-away time based on your vehicle and conditions.
Is mobile windshield replacement more expensive? No. Arrow’s mobile service is priced the same as an equivalent shop job. The convenience does not add a premium.
Does Arrow do ADAS recalibration during mobile visits? Yes, for most vehicles. Static recalibration is performed on-site. Your quote will include this if your vehicle requires it.
Does Arrow offer same-day mobile service? Often, yes. Call 866-975-4527 in the morning to check same-day availability in your area.
