Checking Ottawa’s temperature…
Mobile service is offered when it’s 15°C or warmer outside.
Why does the temperature matter?
Windshields are bonded to your car with a urethane sealant. Below about 15°C the sealant cures too slowly and may not bond properly, so we don’t install or repair outdoors in the cold.
Your windshield is part of your car’s safety structure — it helps hold the roof up in a rollover and supports the passenger airbag. A weak bond is not worth the risk.
When it’s colder, we do the work in-shop where the temperature is controlled. Call us to book a time.

Is mobile repair available in cold weather?
Mobile windshield repair in Ottawa is offered when the outdoor temperature is 15°C or warmer. Below 15°C, repair resin and windshield sealant don’t cure properly, so we do the work in-shop instead. The live weather box on this page shows whether mobile service is running today.
What we can fix on site
Mobile service covers both windshield chip repair and full windshield replacement in Ottawa. Our technicians bring resin, urethane, tools and replacement glass ordered for your vehicle, so most jobs are finished in one visit.

Can my windshield be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Chips smaller than a loonie that are away from the edge and the driver's view can usually be repaired in about 30 minutes. Long cracks, edge damage and damage in the driver's view usually need a replacement, which takes about 2 hours. Answer three questions for a quick guide.
Frequently asked questions

Q. Do I need to be there during the repair?
