Automotive glass shops replace, repair, and tint windshields, side windows, rear glass, and sunroofs on passenger vehicles, trucks, and vans. Many operations are split between a fixed shop location and mobile technicians who travel to the customer's home, workplace, or fleet yard to perform the work on-site. Common services include windshield replacement and recalibration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), chip and crack repair, and aftermarket window tinting.
