Can Safelite Work in the Rain? What You Need to Know About Inclement Weather and Mobile Auto Glass Service

When it comes to auto glass repair and replacement, inclement weather can pose a significant challenge. Safelite, a leading provider of these services, has specific guidelines and considerations for working in the rain or other inclement conditions. Let’s explore what you need to know about Safelite’s mobile auto glass service and how they handle the challenges of working in the rain.

Safelite’s Stance on Inclement Weather

According to Safelite’s help center, “Inclement weather makes auto glass installations difficult without cover. If possible, please have shelter available.” This means that Safelite technicians may not be able to perform mobile auto glass services in the rain or other adverse weather conditions, as they require a covered area to work safely and effectively.

Rescheduling Mobile Appointments

If it’s raining on the day of your mobile appointment and you don’t have a covered area for the technician to work, you have a couple of options. You can either reschedule the appointment or bring your vehicle into one of Safelite’s shops. The company recommends that you have a covered area available, such as a garage, carport, or even a low-traffic residential street, to ensure the technician can complete the service safely.

No Need to Wait with Your Vehicle

One of the benefits of Safelite’s mobile auto glass service is that you don’t need to wait with your vehicle during the service. However, it’s important to have your car keys available for the technician to access the vehicle and ensure all parts and options are working properly.
