The Business
Windshield chip repair costs $50-150 per chip and takes 30 minutes. Mobile repair means you go to the customer's home or office. Insurance often covers it fully (no customer cost), making conversion extremely easy. Partner with insurance companies as a preferred vendor for guaranteed work volume.
How to Start
Buy a professional windshield repair kit ($400-800). Learn the technique (2-3 hours of practice is sufficient). Set up on Groupon initially to build reviews, then cancel once you have organic flow. Contact insurance adjusters directly to become a preferred vendor — this is the fastest path to volume.

“Windshield chip repair has the lowest barrier to entry of any vehicle service. The resin kit is $30, the job takes 20 minutes, and insurance pays for it so customers have zero cost objection. Set up at Costco or Walmart parking lots and you can do 15 jobs a day.”
