This morning, you went outside and noticed a crack in your windscreen. Now you have a bit more to do today. But the great news is, you don’t have to drive anywhere, wait in a shop or reschedule everything to get it fixed.

We don’t have to bring your car to a glass shop, we bring it to your house, your driveway, your parking spot and get your windshield replaced professionally, quickly and with no disruption to your day at Famous Auto Glass.

Greetings for mobile windshield replacement. Once you experience it — you will wonder why you ever did it any other way.

What Is Mobile Windshield Replacement?

Mobile windshield replacement is the name of the service you are about to get. We don’t have you come to us — we go to you.

Our certified technicians bring everything to your home to remove your damaged windscreen and install a brand new one on the spot. No tow truck. No rental car. No sitting for two hours in an uncomfortable chair in a waiting room while scrolling through your phone.

Just professional, guaranteed windshield replacement — done at your house, at a time that works for you.

This is the hassle-free replacement experience of the conventional auto glass shop. And in 2026, it’s the first option for thousands of GTA drivers who value their time and their safety.

Why Choose Mobile Windshield Replacement at Your House?

Imagine what a windshield had to be like in days gone by. Drive your broken down car across town — just hoping it doesn’t crack some more on the way. Wait for hours in a waiting room. Arrange a ride home. Come back to pick up your car. Lose half your day.

Now think about what mobile windshield replacement looks like. Book an appointment. Stay home. Continue with your activities. Walk out to a brand new windshield.

The answer is clear. But why is it that replacing your windscreen at home is the smarter choice for GTA drivers and the proven option?

It saves you valuable time.There is no need to take time off work, arrange alternative methods of transport or spend hours sitting in a shop. Our certified technician comes to you — and the whole job is done in 60 to 90 minutes.

It is completely stress free. No driving an unsafe vehicle. No driving through broken glass. No waiting rooms. Clutter free from booking to the time our technician drives off.

It is just as good as in shop service. This is the big one. A lot of drivers think that mobile service equals reduced quality. It definitely doesn’t. Everything we do, the same OEM quality glass, professional grade urethane adhesive, and the same proven installation process of any shop based service is done right at your home.

It costs the same. At Famous Auto Glass, mobile service is included as standard. No extra charge for coming to you. This comes with convenience.

Who is Mobile Windshield Replacement at Home Best For?

Honestly — almost every driver. Still there are some people who find it priceless:

Busy parents, you have kids to care for, school runs to arrange and a million things on your to-do list! The last thing you want is to be at the auto glass shop for half the day. Make an appointment in the morning and replace the windscreen when the children are at school.

Working professionals — With no excuse to take a vacation while working, why not come to your workplace parking lot or your home before you report for work? We know that there is no excuse to sacrifice your job for your safety, so we are flexible with our hours.

Individuals with a single vehicle — If one has just a vehicle, a damaged windscreen is dangerous and stressful to drive to a shop. Mobile service means your car remains in its original location — and fixed back to you.

Elderly or mobility limited drivers — For some drivers, getting to the shop can be a real challenge. When it comes to mobile windshield replacement, they take that away — and bring the service right to your door.
Anyone who just appreciates convenience — and that is us all.

What happens when we come to your house?

When our windshield replacement tech shows up at your door, this is what they do:

Step 1 — Professional Arrival Our technician arrives on time — fully equipped with your new windscreen and all the tools needed for a guaranteed professional installation. We install safely at your site and immediately work.

Step 2 — The Damaged Windshield is Carefully Removed — With careful cutting of the urethane seal, we lift your old windscreen, never scratching your paint, trim, or floor.

Step 3 — Complete Frame Cleaning — all traces of old adhesive and debris are removed. This is an important step to provide a good adhesion for the new glass. Rushed shops tend to overlook this step and it’s the best thing that can happen!

Step 4 — Priming and Adhesive Application Primer. Then professional grade urethane adhesive is laid down in a precise, even bead around the entire frame — creating a watertight, structurally sound seal.

Step 5 — New Windshield Installation — The new windscreen is carefully positioned and perfectly fitted into the frame, preventing wind noise, leaks, or sensor problems.

Step 6 — ADAS Recalibration — On modern cars with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control we do the necessary recalibration work to ensure all safety systems function correctly after fitting.

Step 7 — Final Quality Check — Before we move out of your home, we do a complete quality check, making sure that all edges, all seals and the overall clarity of the new glass is perfect. We’re not done until the work is flawless.

Step 8 — Safe Drive Away Time We tell you exactly how long to wait before driving — typically around one hour — based on temperature and conditions at your location.

And that is it. Your windshield is replaced. You never left your house.

Do I need to repair or replace my windshield?

Before we visit your home — it’s easier if you know if a simple repair or a full replacement is required.

Not sure? In our in-depth guide to Windshield Replacement vs Repair — What To Choose, you’ll discover a straightforward, honest answer that depends on the extent, location, and severity of your damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Windscreen Replacement Be Done at Home?

Yes — windscreen replacement can be done at home, but only safely by a trained professional. Many auto glass companies offer mobile windscreen replacement — sending a certified technician directly to your home with all the equipment needed for a safe, professional installation. Attempting it yourself without proper tools and training risks poor sealing, water leaks, and ADAS system failure on modern vehicles.

Where Is the Best Place to Get a Windshield Replaced?

The best place to get a windscreen replaced is a certified auto glass shop with experienced technicians, OEM quality glass, and a lifetime warranty. Mobile windshield replacement services — where a certified technician comes directly to your home or workplace — are increasingly the most convenient and popular option for drivers across the GTA. Always choose a provider that handles insurance claims directly and backs their work with a warranty.

How Long Can I Drive with a Cracked Windshield?

You should not drive with a cracked windshield at all. A crack can spread within 24 to 48 hours — especially in Ontario winters. A cracked windshield compromises your vehicle’s structural integrity, reduces visibility, and can result in a police fine in Ontario. The longer you wait, the higher the risk and the higher the cost. Get it inspected immediately.

What Not to Do When Replacing a Windshield?

When replacing a windshield avoid these critical mistakes — driving before the adhesive fully cures, going through a car wash within 48 hours, slamming doors forcefully, removing retention tape early, and skipping ADAS recalibration on modern vehicles. Also never attempt a DIY replacement without proper tools and training as this creates serious safety risks.

What If It Rains After Windshield Replacement?

Light rain after windshield replacement is generally fine. However avoid car washes, pressure washing, and heavy water exposure for at least 48 hours after installation. The urethane adhesive needs time to fully cure and seal. If water leaks inside your vehicle after a replacement — contact your auto glass provider immediately as this indicates a poor seal.

What to Do If a Rock Hits the Windshield?

If a rock hits your windshield — pull over safely and inspect the damage. If there is a chip or crack — do not ignore it. Small chips can be repaired quickly and affordably before they spread into a full crack requiring costly windshield replacement. Contact a certified auto glass technician as soon as possible and check whether your comprehensive insurance covers the repair.

What Is the Best Time of Year to Replace a Windshield?

There is no bad time to replace a windshield — it can be done year round. However avoid replacing a windshield in extreme cold below -10°C as low temperatures can affect adhesive curing time. Spring and summer are ideal conditions for windshield replacement as moderate temperatures allow the urethane adhesive to cure quickly and effectively. That said — if your windscreen is damaged in winter, do not wait. A cracked windshield in winter is dangerous and will only get worse.
