Mobile Windscreen Replacement Service

Motorists paying directly, insurers and their claims networks, fleet operators, and mechanics or smash repairers who sub-contract glass work.

A price per fitting, covering the glass and labour. Insurance jobs are often paid under agreed rates. Extras include rain sensor or camera work, and chip repairs.

• Careful, steady hands for handling large glass
• Basic vehicle trim and body knowledge
• Reliable scheduling and customer service

• Public liability and product liability insurance, as a poor fitting can be a safety risk
• Newer cars often have driver-assist cameras behind the windscreen that may need recalibration, so check what equipment or partner workshop you'd need
• Adhesive cure times and fitting standards, so follow the manufacturer's instructions and check Australian requirements
• Insurer approved-supplier networks can be hard to join, so plan for mostly direct customers at first
• Check your state's rules on qualifications, and workers compensation once you hire

Startup costs are typically around $15,000 to $50,000, depending on your vehicle, tools, glass stock and insurance. These are estimates only, so get quotes for your van or ute fit-out and equipment before you commit.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $5,000 to $22,000, depending on how many jobs you book, your mix of direct and trade customers, and the hours you work. That is revenue, not profit.

Check public liability and product liability insurance, since a poor fitting can be a safety risk. Also look into driver-assist camera recalibration, adhesive cure times and fitting standards, your state's qualification rules, and workers compensation if you hire.
