$250 to $450 for a windshield and $200 to $500 for side or rear glass, done at the vehicle for exactly what it costs in the bay, with about an hour on site. The van is travelling under a mile to reach Riverside, so slots are easy to place. Call 215-608-1108, say where the vehicle is standing and whether it can be moved, and the price and the slot are agreed on that call.
Four minutes from the shop, mobile is not about distance, it is about whether the car can safely make the trip. The clear cases are a windshield cracked across the driver's view, a door window that is out with glass across the seat and no proper way to clear it, a flat battery on top of the glass damage, or a vehicle boxed in where it stands. In those situations bringing the work to the car is the sensible order of events, and it costs no more than driving in. If the car is fine to move, the bay gives a controlled environment and, on a raw day, a shorter wait before it can be driven.
The ground requirements are modest and Riverside meets them better than most of the city: somewhere level, a clear arm's length down each side of the car, and no obligation to sit in a live lane while the work happens. Open kerbs and lot standing give all three. The other constraint is the adhesive, which is the only part of the job with an opinion about the weather. It needs a dry surface to key into and it takes longer to reach strength when it is cold, so a windshield appointment moves in heavy rain while the price stays put. Mechanical glass is indifferent to all of that and goes out regardless.

The honest version for Riverside is that the van and the bay are close enough to be the same service, so the decision gets made on conditions rather than convenience. On a mild dry day, a car standing in an open lot here is a perfectly good place to fit a windshield, with space to work and nobody reversing around the van. On a raw wet February morning, the same job done four minutes away under a roof gets a better bond line and a shorter wait before the car can be used. Say what the weather is doing where the car is and how it is parked, and you get a straight recommendation rather than whichever answer is easier to sell.
Same service, same price, other Wilmington neighborhoods:
Usually the better option, yes. A lot gives flat standing and room to work without anyone having to squeeze past, and it keeps the van out of a live lane. Two things save time: a word with whoever runs the lot beforehand, and a description of the car with its plate, since half the vehicles in an open lot look alike from the entrance.
For a door or rear window, very little, since that is mechanical work and the cabin gets closed up again quickly. For a bonded windshield it matters, because water in the bond line means the adhesive does not do its job. If the sky turns while the car is open, the sensible move is to close it up and finish under cover, and being a few minutes from North Market makes that a real option rather than a theoretical one.
