Priced the way Auto Glass work is billed
A windshield replacement and a rear glass replacement don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices Auto Glass the way the work is really billed: off a per-service menu (price each, e.g. $350 a windshield). Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a Auto Glass price
Two Auto Glass jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- ADAS — a windshield with a camera behind it needs recalibration, and that's its own line, not a courtesy you eat.
- Glass type and availability — an OEM windshield for a newer model can cost more than the entire install on an older one.
- Cure time — mobile jobs in cold weather take longer for the urethane to set to a safe drive-away, and that's your time on site.
What a Auto Glass job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and Auto Glass is no exception. SideWRK captures which glass — windshield, side, rear, quarter, sunroof and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- which glass — windshield, side, rear, quarter, sunroof
- any ADAS camera or sensor behind the glass
- the safe drive-away / urethane cure time
- whether ADAS recalibration was done
- the VIN
Example note on a job: "ADAS recalibration recommended after replacement — customer declined; camera-based safety features may be affected."

Staying on the right side of the rules
SideWRK documents your Auto Glass work — it doesn't make you licensed, and it says so plainly. What to know: FMVSS safe drive-away time and, on ADAS-equipped vehicles, a recalibration disclosure so the customer knows their safety systems were addressed. The app flags the permit and license triggers so they never surprise you mid-job.
Auto Glass pricing — common questions

What does SideWRK document on a Auto Glass job?
The records Auto Glass work actually needs: which glass — windshield, side, rear, quarter, sunroof; any ADAS camera or sensor behind the glass; the safe drive-away / urethane cure time. It rides on the estimate and invoice, so your paper trail is built as you work instead of reconstructed later.
Do I need a license to do Auto Glass work?
That depends on your state and the job, but here's the shape of it: FMVSS safe drive-away time and, on ADAS-equipped vehicles, a recalibration disclosure so the customer knows their safety systems were addressed. SideWRK documents the work; it doesn't certify you, and it flags the permit and license triggers so nothing sneaks up on you.
