$250 to $450 for a windshield and $200 to $500 for door, quarter or back glass, fitted on your own driveway for the same money as in the bay and in about the same hour. Brandywine Hills is one of the easier neighborhoods to do this properly, because most houses have a driveway and many have a garage. Book on 215-608-1108 and describe where the car stands, how the driveway sits and what is overhead.
A mobile fit needs three things: flat standing, enough room to open the doors fully and walk both sides of the car with a pane in hand, and conditions the adhesive can live with. A driveway supplies the first two without anyone negotiating with a parked street, and a garage supplies all three. A garage in particular is as good as the shop floor, because still air at a stable temperature is exactly what urethane wants while it comes up to strength. The door needs to be open for ventilation while the bead goes in and there has to be clear floor either side of the car, but beyond that the conditions are ideal.
Nothing about the specification drops because the work happens at your house. The same pane comes off the same shelf, the moldings are new rather than reused, the adhesive is fresh out of date-stamped stock, and you get a real release time before the van pulls away instead of a shrug. The honest limits are weather and what sits directly above the car. Heavy rain moves the appointment rather than the price, because urethane will not cure into a wet bond line. And an open pinchweld under a tree in a breeze collects precisely the debris the whole job is spent keeping out of it, which is why the car sometimes gets moved twenty feet before anything starts.

Brandywine Hills throws up one variable the flatter parts of the city do not: gradient. These streets run down toward the creek and plenty of driveways pitch hard enough that a car standing on one is noticeably nose down. That is fine for a door glass, which is mechanical work, and less good for a bonded windshield, where the pane is set into a wet bead and then left alone to cure. Where a driveway is steep the answer is usually the level apron at the top, the garage floor, or the street if it is flat and quiet. Say on the phone how the driveway sits and whether the garage is usable, and the visit gets planned around it rather than improvised on the day.

Not empty, just workable. The car needs to be in there with room to swing both front doors fully and walk around it carrying glass, and the garage door open while the adhesive goes in for ventilation. If the garage is tight, the apron in front of it is usually the better spot, since it is the flattest ground on most properties up here and it is still out of the traffic and the wind.
It depends on the glass rather than the mileage. If a windshield is cracked across the driver's view, or a door window is out with glass across the seat, bringing the work to the car is the sensible order of events. If the car is perfectly driveable, the bay gives a controlled environment and, on a cold or wet day, a shorter release time. It is the same price either way, so it is a convenience decision rather than a cost one.
