What Is Mobile Windshield Replacement?
Mobile windshield replacement means a certified technician comes directly to your location — your home, workplace, a parking lot, or anywhere you're parked — and replaces your windshield on-site. No need to drive a damaged vehicle to a shop, arrange a ride home, or wait in a waiting room.
Auto Renu operates exclusively as a mobile service throughout the East Bay, covering all 27 cities in Contra Costa County and surrounding areas.
How the Mobile Process Works — Step by Step
- Request a quote (5 minutes) — Call us at 1-800-684-3629 or fill out our online form. We'll confirm your vehicle details and check your insurance coverage on the spot.
- Glass is ordered same-day — We stock the most common glass for East Bay vehicles (Toyota, Honda, Ford, Tesla, Chevy) and can source specialty glass within 24 hours.
- Technician arrives at your location — We bring everything: glass, adhesive, tools, and calibration equipment. You don't need to do anything except confirm your parking spot is accessible.
- Removal and installation (45–90 minutes) — Old glass is safely removed, the frame is cleaned and prepped, and new glass is bonded with automotive-grade urethane adhesive.
- Cure time (1 hour) — Modern urethane adhesives reach drive-safe strength within 60 minutes in normal temperatures. We'll let you know the exact safe-to-drive time.
- ADAS calibration if needed — If your vehicle has a forward camera, we perform calibration at your location before we leave.
What Do I Need to Prepare?
Very little. Here's what helps:
- Accessible parking spot — flat surface, enough room for the technician to work on both sides of the vehicle
- No shade required — we work in all weather conditions; direct sunlight is fine
- You don't need to be present — leave us a key if you need to be at work; we'll text when done
- Keep interior dry — don't wash the car or expose interior to heavy rain for 24 hours after installation
