# Mobile installation

A term used when buying auto glass.

Windshield replacement done at the customer's location from a stocked service van.

Mobile work meets the customer where the car sits, which is how most glass volume now moves and what the insurance networks expect of a participating shop. The van fleet, its stock, and the scheduling discipline behind it are operating assets the way a bay is, and the mobile share sets the shop's radius and its cost per job. Split mobile from in-shop volume in diligence, since each carries its own cost line and its own capacity math.
