SideWRK starts every auto glass installer at these prices and does this math on every job you write up. Change any number.
What an Auto Glass job looks like in SideWRK.
The auto glass job as the app lays it out — your own cost sitting on it, and the estimate your customer approves from their phone.
Built for mobile auto glass work — in one app
Priced from your own menu
Chip repair, windshield, side glass, rear glass, recalibration — each service is a tap with your price on it, editable per job. A truck windshield isn't a sedan windshield; the estimate keeps up.
The vehicle on file
Year, make, model, VIN, and which glass — logged once, so the right windshield gets ordered the first time. The note field holds the crack length and where the car parks.
Safe drive-away, on paper
Urethane needs its cure time before that car drives. Put the wait on the invoice, and when a customer declines recalibration, the disclosure note says so — with a record you can point to later.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer sees the estimate and the photos and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount, before a single piece of glass is bought.
Get paid your way
Take a card or Apple Pay in the app, and the money goes to your own Stripe account on its normal payout schedule. Jobs flip to Paid the moment the balance hits zero.
Real profit, not just revenue
The glass, the urethane, the primer, the fuel — each carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees. The Money tab shows what the windshield actually netted you.

Estimate. Invoice. Get paid.
SideWRK runs the business side from your phone, on the job.

Send it
Text or email the estimate. The customer reviews the photos and taps Approve — authorization logged automatically, so the glass order is safe to place.
Get paid
It becomes a numbered invoice with your details and the drive-away time on it. Record payment, and your real profit lands in Money.
What should auto glass work cost?
Auto glass is priced by the piece, scaled for the vehicle, with recalibration billed as its own line. Here's what the work runs in 2026, plus a free windshield calculator to price it.
Windshields
Most replacements land between $250 and $800 — the average is around $450. An aftermarket windshield on a common sedan runs about $275–$400 installed. The glass is the swing; labor stays fairly steady.
Trucks, SUVs & luxury
A late-model truck or SUV that needs camera recalibration commonly runs $500–$800 all-in. Luxury and ADAS-heavy vehicles — acoustic glass, heads-up display, heated wiper park — can pass $900 on the glass alone.
Chips & recalibration
Chip repairs run $50–$150 — most pros charge about $75 for the first and $25–$40 for each extra, and insurance often waives the deductible. ADAS recalibration adds $150–$400 and belongs on its own line.

Pick the glass, pick the vehicle, add the recalibration — quoted before you open the van.

Nothing above is behind a higher tier. There is no higher tier.
Add detailing — same driveway, same customers.
You're already at the car with their trust and their keys. A lot of glass operators add auto detailing (or mobile mechanic work) because the customer who just watched you set a windshield is the easiest detail booking you'll ever get. Both trades are already in your plan — one login, one client list, nothing more to pay. Plans are month-to-month; add or drop a trade right from Billing.
SideWRK for Auto Detailing →Auto Glass FAQ
Does it handle ADAS recalibration on the invoice?
Yes. Recalibration is its own priced line on the estimate, and when a customer declines it, that goes on the invoice as a disclosure note — so there's a record that they were told their camera-based safety features may be affected.
Do I need to install anything?
No — SideWRK runs in any phone browser, nothing to download. Everything syncs to the cloud, so your phone in the customer's driveway and your laptop at night see the same data.
What should I charge for a windshield replacement?
Most 2026 replacements run $250 to $800, with the average around $450. An aftermarket windshield on a common sedan lands about $275 to $400 installed; a late-model truck or SUV that needs camera recalibration commonly runs $500 to $800; luxury and ADAS-heavy vehicles can pass $900. Chip repairs run $50 to $150. Use the free windshield replacement calculator to find your number.
Can I run more than one trade?
Yes — every trade is unlocked and you switch between them in a tap, sharing one customer list. Auto glass pairs naturally with detailing and mobile mechanic work — same driveway, same customers.
How much does it cost?
SideWRK is $19/month — every trade, everything included. You start on the free plan: five jobs a rolling year, no card, and no expiry. Paying lifts every limit — $19 a month, or $190 a year.
