Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from you all on the internet.
Today's question is:
John explains that job duration varies by vehicle, but on average a job takes about one to one and a half hours. He emphasizes that quality work requires taking the time to do it correctly rather than rushing. Door glass replacements generally go faster than windshields, though some can take longer depending on the specific vehicle. He points out that there are thousands of different door glass and windshield types, all slightly different, so the exact time can vary from car to car. As a general benchmark, customers can expect roughly an hour to an hour and a half per job. John makes clear he prefers to invest the extra time to ensure the work is done right rather than hurry and risk a flaw.
Every job is a little different, but on average I'd say it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get the work done. If you want a really quality job, you take your time and you do it right — I'm not going to rush it just to move on to the next one. Door glasses tend to go a little quicker than windshields, though some take longer depending on the vehicle. There are thousands of different door glasses and thousands of different windshields out there, and they're all a bit different from one another, so the exact time can vary from car to car. But as a general rule, you're looking at about an hour to an hour and a half per job. I'd rather spend the extra time and make sure it's done correctly than hurry through it and have something not be right.
