Two dry hours and a level driveway is all a mobile job really needs, which makes Talleyville straightforward: a windshield is $250 to $450 fitted and a door, quarter or back window is $200 to $500, the same figures you would pay in the bay. The van needs room either side of the car and ground that does not slope away toward the street.
What travels well and what does not is worth knowing before you book. Door glass and back glass are mechanical jobs: the pane goes in, the card goes back, the car is finished when the tech packs up, with no waiting around. A windshield is bonded, so there is a cure period afterwards, and that is fine at a house where the car can simply stay put on the driveway. The genuine limit is driver assistance. If your car needs a static camera calibration after a new windshield, that wants a level floor, controlled lighting and targets at measured distances, which is shop work rather than driveway work. Cars that calibrate dynamically on a road drive are a different story.
The rest is parts discipline. A mobile visit is only one visit if the glass was confirmed before the van loaded, which means the VIN or at minimum the year, make, model and the option details: rain sensor, heated wiper park, acoustic laminate, tint band, aerial or defroster grid in the back glass. Fifteen minutes on the phone at the start is what stops a second appointment later. Payment, paperwork and any insurance check happen at the same visit, and you get the safe drive-away time for that day's weather rather than a number off a chart.

One practical note about Talleyville driveways: the work happens on the driveway, not inside the garage. A windshield has to be lifted and walked in from the side of the car with a person at each end, and a standard suburban garage does not give enough clearance on either flank to do that safely, quite apart from the lighting. What the garage is good for is afterwards, once the bead is set. If your driveway slopes steeply toward the street, say so when you book, because glass gets set on a stand and a stand wants level ground. Office park lots along Silverside Road work too, if you would rather have it done at your desk than at home.

No, but somebody has to hand over the keys and be reachable. Most people on a driveway job unlock the car, leave the tech to it and come out at the end. What we do need is that nobody moves the car during a windshield cure and that you hear the safe drive-away time directly rather than reading it off a note. If the car is at an office lot instead, tell us which row it is in and what it looks like, and leave a phone number that gets answered.
Often, yes, but cold changes the timing rather than the price. Urethane cures on temperature and moisture, so a January windshield on a driveway takes longer to reach safe drive-away strength than a June one, and we quote that honestly on the day. Below a certain point, or with sleet coming down, the sensible answer is to bring the car the fifteen minutes down to the bay and have it done under a roof instead of nursing a bead outdoors.
